I just received this from an old friend on FB
i can't hang with an apostate or someone cheering
on apostates...of course, if JW's are not your cup
of tea, that's completely your bizness but you're
chumming with that freak with the signs; i couldn't
believe that...pure evil slander and don't feed
me any stories, that's complete BS and those
guys are demoniacally possessed if a man ever was
sorry you never tapped into a relationship with
Jehovah, you turned your back on the only
REAL thing you ever had in your life dude,
you just never learned enough to know it
I think he's talking about Rick Fearon (freak with the signs)
This is how replied.
John,
I respect your right to believe in any way you see fit even if it goes completely against what I find to be true. That being said, I find your reaction to be, sadly, exactly what I expected. I was taught for many years that anyone who "Turned his back on Jehovah" was the worst of the worst, evil incarnate. Well, I guess if I was trying to control what people did and thought I'd tell them the same. However, the only thing that I really turned my back on was a publishing company that purports itself to be the one and only avenue to God; a publishing company of failed predictions and duplicitous dealings.
Now that I have that out of the way I'm going to take exception with one thing you wrote: "of course, if JW's are not your cup of tea, that's completely your bizness" That is complete and utter bullshit and you know it so stop fibbing. You don't believe what's taught (or what happens to be "light" at the time) and you'll be DFed so fast your head will spin. Once a JW always a JW, or an apostate. Isn't that the way it really goes? You should know as a former MS.
You'll probably be saddened by what I just wrote and maybe even a little angry, if you read this far that is, but please know this: I do now and always will have a warm spot for you in my heart. I've always enjoyed your company and have never wished anything but the best for you.
Sincerely,
Mike
I hate this f*****' religion.
