Joelbear, Yordorf,
I have seen this several times. Meetings during a meeting. OH yeah, especially because they didn't want to be alone and wanted the whole congregation to witness this, this makes it more more realistic when they do go to court. Especially if Danni didn't have a tape recorder.
My father stepped down as an elder after working so hard to be one. His main concern was not being able to talk to me since I was smoking and if they found out I would be disfellowshipped. Like he told me before he died, how could I sit in judgement of others when I didn't feel what they did was wrong? His heart hurt for so many. My dad was a real human with real feelings. His last words to me on the phone saturday before he died that thursday were "Cath, I love you, find happiness no matter where it takes you."
Why do we all look at Danni as she is making this up? The things that she stated rang so true about everything she said. At least in my case. They were going to disfellowship me for opening the back door because I let jehovahs spirit out. How wrong was that. Can you imagine my whole life flashing in front of my eyes, my family, everything I had ever worked so hard for all my life? Gone because they told me I didnt have faith, when the psychiatrist was well aware of what they might do and told me expressly not to let this happen as they had no right to take my son in the back room with out his parents there. Come on....they were yelling explicatives at me for my love of my son after they tell me that I made all this up. How could I make all this up...i didn't even no this shit happened to JWS. I was used to the six minute missionary position behind closed doors. I didn't even know that people gave oral sex to each other. I had never watched porn or been aware of what the world had to offer. How could I make anything up? The elders are not certified in child psychology, so who gave them the right to sit there in judgement on my son and I?
If there were any statements danni made that didn't seem to fit I would find this whole thing out in left field. Everything she said, down to the children running around and the time the meeting started rang true to me.
Why can't we all give her a hand and thank her for something she didn't have to do? It is not up to her to save us or the world, but she did the best she could.
There are so many others who are still there putting up with the abuse because they don't want to leave the only thing they ever knew, as they know how apostates are treated. Everyone who doesnt agree with the religion is a dog returning to their vomit in their eyes. We all know, we have watched this several times in our stint as witnesses.
These men thought they would come out on top and brush them off like they do everything else that doesn't fit their little box. They were wrong in this case. These two people proved stronger than they had hoped for.
Good luck to you all...Danni and Darryl, you are the best. Don't lose your job over this, they will be exposed for what they are in a given time.
Sincerely
cathy
