Why cant JWs spell?
Perhaps because they are all graduates of Awake university!
I wonder why these idiots bother sending such messages? If it's
in the hope that we will stop telling the truth about them, then
they'd better not hold their breath!
However, I get more emails like this one from an exjw than from
current jws
Hello,
I have just visited your marvelous website and would like to add my input to this topic.
I ws Christened Church of England. I remained there until i was five years old. Then mum and dad studdied with Jehovah's Witnesses and we began going to the Kingdom Hall instead.
I remember 1975 with great joy and excitement..........i was leaving school that summer and couldn't wait !!!
However, the talk at the book group study, Kingdom Hall and bible study groups was daunting and terrifying to me. They told us we had to be on our guard as we would be rounded up for the last gathering, arrested and tourchered like Jesus' day fro spreading teh word of God. Women of the congregation (sisters) were told at these meetings to wear reversable coats and take a spare headscarf with them to help them escape capture. Parents were erged to only let their children play with other JW's children for fear of tehm being taken away and tortured. People were told to sell what they had as the kingdom of God is at hand, they advised anyone who had shares, or policies to sell them. My parents did just that a year before the policy was due to mature and a handsome payout would have been expected, but they cashed them in convinced the end was neigh........These were terrifying days for me a young girl just turned fifteen! I was issolated living in a small village only four roads in it. There were no other Jehovah's witnesses in our area for me to mix with so i became a lonly and only had the meetings to look forward to as a chance to mix with people of my own age. I wasn't allowed a boyfriend until i was 20 though i had plenty of offers.
My great grandmother studdied with a group of people called "The Brother Hood" They claimed Armageddon had come when war broke out, they were told to pack a suitcase as they were all being gathered on a cloud and taken to heaven. This never happened and the band dispanded to reform itself as Jehovah's Witnesses.
As for me I left as soon as i was eighteeen and my dad told me i could chose a religion for myself, however he and mum would be delighted if i would stay with the Witnesses and get baptized. I ran out of the Kingdom Hall and never returned. i am 47 years old now and know they do not have the truth.
It's that sort of response that makes me think I am doing something right,
however much abuse the jws throw my way
