I Hate Jehovah's Witnesses, and I Eat Small Children for Breakfast

    Sorry, had errands to run, etc. but will respond briefly and be back later.

    The link to my expose' is:

    http://www.freeminds.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=408:what-happened-at-the-world-headquarters-of-jehovahs-witnesses-in-the-spring-of-1980&catid=32:brooklyn-bethel&Itemid=347

    My site sometimes messes up these long links... that's what I get for trying to take an html site with over 3000 articles and 3 gigs of material and have someone offer to convert it to Joomla, and then disappearing, leaving Paul Morrison and I to spend forever trying to fix it. Sorry Sam for the long hours your hubby must have ignored time with you and the kids. :-)) Paul is a great man in my book. He's still with us, but has to make a living in London so he will post here now and then. But we had fun, I miss you guys.

    It has wasted way too much time and money, I get so pissed at times as I have no time to write, to have fun, to go anywhere, or even hang out with my buds. People are so unreliable these days. My health has suffered. Used to you could trust people. I'm not naming names, you don't know him anyway.

    Anytime you want to find something on my site, just use the search engine, it usually works fine. Type in "What Happened" and it pops up right away, the link is above.

    Also read my letter of resignation to the El Segundo cong. elders and sent to every one of the GB individually (I'm sure they got it):

    http://www.freeminds.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=407:randys-letter-of-resignation-to-the-governing-body&catid=64:bethelites&Itemid=580

    To find that, you just type in "letter of resignation." Works great. ($1000 of outsourcing later.)

    I'm, not going to share the dirt on the inner stories from Bethel yet, it would just be kinda mean... but if pressed to... (use your imagination), you will know much more. I know the eye-witnesses to some of it. Maybe I'll share some stories from the infirmary, where my then-friends Ron and Marion Miyamoto worked (well at least Marion did, Ron was an elder in our cong. and I forgot what he did at Bethel, worked in the home somwhere.)

    The pervs I'm refedrring to are all long dead anyway. Mostly older ones.

    Yes, I do tease (obvious from the title of this article). Just to let you know it exists. I'm sure even Franz had no idea of a lot of it. He had his area of expertise, but I had mine and I've never been shy. I got to know Ray's stuff from Tom Cabeen, so Crisis just added a few things. Ray knew nothing of what I often write about.

    I write with humor because it all really IS funny to me... if I wrote it like I used to write my theological tomes, people WOULD think I was a hater. So it has to be presented delicately. I can't think of ANYONE in my life that I hate off hand, but I will expose fraud and bullies, you can be sure. But I'm not making it up, and I don't care if some of you don't want to hear it, dammit, it's MY experience, not yours, just hate on! :-)) Never bothers me.

    Speaking of Okie humor, the most distressing thing about having been a victim of the WT is they destroy your lack of humor, assuming you had one in the first place. For instance...

    I just got a letter:

    Hi Randy.This is ....

    I usede to talk toyou on the phone 20 years ago.I visited your website today.I want to ask something. Were you joking when you said I hate jehovah's witnesses;I eat small chidren for breakast?what are the witnesses talking about when they about the Resurrection.?

    See what I mean?

    Dagney, you have to come over again and bring some friends soon, summer is here. I'm doing much better nowadays... it has just all been grief and stress for 3 years. But I consider my job as my life and I love it. I just need a break now and then, and I can't.

    Thanks for all your comments, friends.

    Randy

    Read ARMAGEDDON OKIES by my dear friend Gary Busselman, who still posts here now and then. Where's my blog material, dude?

    Ziddina, yer funny. The WT didn't destroy your sense of humor, thank God.

    Cedars sez,

    "Love Jehovah's Witnesses, hate the Watch Tower Society" is very much my mantra too.

    You must think like me. Mine is, "Love people more and believe what they say less."

    I hate spending hours talking to people about theology, which is usually visions developed in the mind without proof. Way too boring.

    Talespin, where did you grow up? My next door neighbor for 30 years is the owner of Panchos. Yes, El Tarasco has the famous Junior Super Deluxe Burrito, which is killer. A shack about 5 blocks away, across the street from Pancho's.

    Perry, you must know I hate Twinkies. I have colitis and fix all my own food from scratch; don't go to restaurants, eat packaged food, or even buy a hamburger, because I have Candida with my colitis and it nearly kills me to eat anything with wheat or yeast extract, which they put in 99% of what you get at the grocery store. Can't drink beer, either for the same reason... anything fermented, even strong cheese. How ya doin?

    love y'all

    I remember you from those very early days well before your nomenclature was "Dogpatch". You were a breath of fresh air then and over the years you have lightened up even more. Your humor is edgy and at times bizarrely obtuse - I should imagine some would misconstrue it - but so what? Humor really is the best medicine.

    Yes, I have archived one of the very first "Bethel Ministries" - they were like a lifeline for a then-sinking ex JW who managed to find his sea legs, leave the JW orbital soup and eventually fly high above the local JWs prediction of grief and suicide.

    I had also heard that Ray was wary of you and I recall thinking when I heard this, "Hell, if Ray is wary of Randy, I don't stand a chance..." Gulp. Still, some like us, some don't, just as in turn we like some but not others. The seasons change and sometimes so do our likes and dislikes. Thanks Randy - you're one of the most sincere guys around and I like you more for the fact that you are pretty damn down to earth and real - and you don't take yourself too seriously.

    Well Randy, from the day I first went to your website (I was Congregation Secretary and CBSC) at the time, I knew then you were a giant among men.

    All they know is "Where else can we go" - if he is not "one of us" he is evil apostate spawn of the devil - very sad really. That said, tehre are many wonderful JWs. They are just so sadly mislead. I remain a JW , I just have my bullshit deflectors set to maximum.

    After about 6 months of deep thought, my conscience could not allow me to teach the writings of religious men who acted like bully children and had no real knowledge of scripture.

    We have way too many enlightened JWs (elders, too) who take the path of the fading JW doormat- they have seemingly good "personal" reasons (excuses) for waiting until the time is better or more right for them (translation- I don't want to suffer) to make a public declaration about the evils of the WT religion. I respect a man of character and pure conscience that drives him (or her) to do the right thing for humanity. Way to go Randy.

    moshe,

    If I had any complicated ties with JWs in my family, it might be different. I have nothing against those who have to conceal things for serious reasons. I've just never been in that spot. I'[m just lucky, so I can say what I want.

    Kudos to all youse who struggle under having to keep your mouth shut... I would never look down on a person in that position.

    OK, on a lighter note, I just got back from my bike ride at sunset, went to the end of Hermosa Beach back to the end of Manhattan. And no, I haven't been drinking. :-))

    Mebbe tomorrow I'll have a nice Margarita for sunset unless it rains...

    note the two oil tankers parked, waiting to be unloaded at the Chevron refinery about 6 blocks away.They have three underwater hoses and unload in about 6-8 hours each. They are about a mile out. Notice the Malibu mountains in the background. I have seen three major fires with the flames creeping over those mountains in the last few years. The last one actually crossed PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) and burned several beach mansions, it was nuts.
