Thanks to this site, not only am I free of the mental imprisonment, but I am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.
I am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is. Once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave. There are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes. There are changed documents from watchtowers that were altered for the bound volumes to the elders guidebook which are notated at special meetings. The Watchtower corporation has and/or continues to have assets in tobacco companies, military equipment manufacturers, and an active role in the United Nations. They have changed the meaning of the word "generation" several times based on how close their current explanation was to blowing the business. They have filed as friend of the court with leaders of other religions. They have changed policies which have resulted in the deaths of faithful Witnesses, and have not done anything to make reparations to those disfellowshipped for the old policy, much less those who have lost loved ones or contact with family.
Worst of all is the arrogance with which they judge others, while doing the very things they use to justify their condemnations.
My name is Donnie Dean, and they have no power over me anymore.
I am free.
