OK, It's been awhile and I thought I'd tell you guys what happened about the family reunion situation. To rehash... I wrote a letter telling all the JW's in my family that I wasn't going to take any crap off them anymore, that I would embarass their dumba#* if they treated me badly in anyway at funerals and reunions and the like. I told them I was going to bring information about the idiot JW's to every family event and I was going to get in their faces if they chose to treat me badly cause I refuse to follow the fools at the WTBTS. I told them it was they that should be ashemed to give their power to men, not me. I said this among many things that outlined the foolishness of the org; sent letters to every family member I could think of.
Here's the result.... One threatened to kick my ass... one contacts me privately telling me how he wished to god that he had my balls... about 55%, mostly the young have started making letters saying almost the same thing-in other words, many of my cousins are taking a stand against the JW's themselves... Yesterday, another cousin, who hasn't talked to me in 5 months becasue of my letters contacted me and said he was starting to see things my way.
Overall, just what I expected... I've scared the bejesus out of many of them so they won't talk to me, but made many of them think. I saw another cousin at a FM graduation and he debated me... I didn't say squat about dogma, just stuck to the fact that the Bible never says that disagreeing with the liars called the FADS was a disfellowshipping offense. Which proves they make up dogma so they can keep power... no matter what he said I went back to that until he finally said that I would die at Armageddon... I laughed and told him he wasn't god and didn't know that. Just think, a rank and file talked to me after I blistered their balls; he's supposed to be disfellowshipped for talking to my apostate ass but he couldn't resist.
Sorry this is long, but one more thing.... letters work, they make people talk... and one more thing... I exist, I can't be avoided; letting them know that I won't go away scares the hell out of them and let's them know that this confrontation won't be avoided.
I love my family and will do whatever it takes to free them from the fools that govern this lying orgainzation... Please don't get mad becasue i always urge activism, but take a stand against these fools, it causes emotional strain but has consequenses that may free your family... As Jesus said, there's no greater love than giving your life for those you love. Good day all, Charles Howard Huff-Athens, Georgia PS... I want people here to know my name... I want people to know that I've taken this stand
