A letter I received from a JW

    This is a letter I received from a JW, sent anonymously. It was hand-written in red ink, and I have little doubt that had the composer a supply of blood handy, he or she would have written using that.

    This was received in response to a very compassionate letter my wife and I sent to our former friends and family, telling them of our reasons for leaving the organization.

    The attitude expressed here is typical of the treatment we have received since leaving the WTBTS. (I am roundly blamed for my wife leaving the org, since she was considered to be "strong in the truth", whereas I was always a nominal witness at best.)

    To Judas Iscariot + his wife

    Jesus said: You cannot listen to my word - because you are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. Because there is no truth in him, he left the truth. When he speaks - he speaks a lie - for he is a liar. Ye are too.

    For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and turn away after - the dog is returned to its own vomit again + the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

    For what is the hope of the hypocrite (apostate) though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul.

    Let no one deceive you by any means... for that day shall not come - unless the apostacy comes first + those who are acting wickedly against the covenant he will lead into apostacy by means of smooth words - But as regards the people who know their God, they will prevail.

    By his mouth, the one who is an apostate bring his wife to ruin.

    Thats how some people view me and Simon, because Simon left before me. He eventually got me to look at the information he had found about the society, and I decided to leave because of it. Not because he pressured me. No one in the hall though has ever asked me how I feel about the trooof, I think they just assume I left because he did.

    Sorry you received such a spiteful letter, just goes to show how some people think.

    Are Witnesses REQUIRED to be such horrible spellers?

    Wow! When I think I am finally numb to JW words and actions like this, then a new letter comes along, and it all seems so ugly and sickening. I am sorry for you that you received such a letter. I too, as a JW sent a couple of negative letters out, but not to ex-JWs, but to non-Witness family and friends, making my stand clear. Maybe this is a good time for me to post one experience. Thanks for sharing this, even though is it not pleasant. - Amazing

    I got a hate letter from one of my former JW associates when I left in 1979. At the time it hit me hard.

    By the spelling, it may be that you have FredHall in your ex-congregation. You will meet Fred later.

    Thanks to all who posted.

    It's hard to believe the change you see in a jw when they realize you have "turned" on the organization (their God). I know I wouldn't have acted this way if someone I knew left the org while I was still in.
