    Jehovah Witness Pastors Has A Sheep in their Care Arrested.

    Hi my name is David Wiltshire and I have suffered horribly from the hand of my pastors. Because I know longer believe the Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only True Religion I was Disfellowshipped from all Jehovah’s Witnesses I can’t even come over their houses any more, they refuse to return my greetings.
    The worst torture that they have put on me is that my little grand daughter, who I used to give horsy back rides to can’t even be allowed so visit with me for fear both she and her parents could be disfellowshipped. The Watchpower teaches that you can’t fellowship with disfellowshipped persons, so they are good Jehovah Witnesses and obey the WatchPower.

    Some say the Jehovah witness religion is a mind control cult. The way mind control works is that you have to get your victim to believe that your group is special and that God only works through the leaders. Once a person accepts this as true they are now easy to manipulate to do what ever you ask because to defy the leaders is the same as defying God himself.

    Join the Watchtower or you will die.

    You must beleive the Watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really GOOD NEWS?

    Sorry to hear that Dave,
    They are going to reap their rewards for being so calloused to others.
    Hang in there.

    Can't somebody cite precedent from child custody cases
    to fight against this breakup of families? Can a case be
    made for grandparent's rights?

    Here an article I turned in to the san jose mercury news, They sound like they are going to be printing it.

    Jehovah Witness Pastors Has A Sheep in their Care Arrested.

    Hi my name is David Wiltshire and I have suffered horribly from the hand of my pastors. They Pastor at a Kingdom hall in Mountain View called, Sunnyvale Congregation. Because I no longer believe the Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only True Religion I was Disfellowshipped from all Jehovah’s Witnesses, I can’t even come over their houses any more, they refuse to return my greetings.
    The worst torture that they have put on me is that my little grand daughter who I used to give horsy back rides to can’t even be allowed so visit with me for fear both she and her parents could be disfellowshipped. The Watchtower teaches that you can’t fellowship with disfellowshipped persons, so they are good Jehovah Witnesses and obey the Watchtower.

    Some say the Jehovah witness religion is a mind control cult. The way mind control works is that you have to get you victim to believe that your group is special and that God only works through the leaders. Once a person accepts this as true they or now easy to manipulate to do what every you ask because to defy the leaders is the same as defying God himself.

    I was arrested on 3/21/02 for trespassing on Kingdom hall property while I was peacefully attending a Jehovah’s Witness meeting.
    I was told by the Disfellowshipping committee that I would need to attend meeting to be reinstated so I was shocked when John Pickering my Loving Pastor started to make improper advance at me while I sat quietly in the front row. I didn’t want to leave the kinddom hall but he was using his superior size to force me out of my seat. He even put his massive arm in my face so that I rested my head on it, it was totally humiliating and then he gave me a small charley horse in the arm that hurt for a few days. I whispered to him that he is making a complete fool of himself in front of all these brothers and so he left me alone and left my presents. But then he comes back after 1 minute and says ”your privilege to attend our meeting has been revoked”. Can you imagine that!

    What love can’t you just feel it, first they take away my FAMILY and FRIENDS and now physical abuse and public humiliation.

    So I tell him drag me out because I’m not going. So my loving caring pastors call the police to have me arrested for trespassing and disturbing a religious meeting.
    I in turn had the pastor put under arrest for assaulting me that night we both have the same date court appearance in Palo Alto on 5/7/02 9AM.

    Dave,

    Maybe you can point out to your family what is said on the Watchtower's official website. Maybe print a full colr copy out and send it to them. In the Frequently Asked Questions section, it says that "Disfellowshipping does not severe family ties." You can highlight that portion. : )

    After reading that they will either then have to start treating you in the way most children treat their Father or recognize the Watchtower Society to be the liars which they are, which may help accomplish the same thing.

    Yes, they DID specify you should return to meetings at their kingdom hall. In doing you were severely harrassed. I admire your courage. If they had truth, they would not be afraid.

    I'm shocked to hear about something like this happening so nearby. There's a lot of "angry" JWs in our district because the economy is so out of control with borderline hyperinflation in housing and other costs of living. Elders in the district are stressed to the breaking point because unless you have a bachelors degree or higher in the computer sciences area and have worked your way up into the stratosphere on wages, you're basically screwed (especially if you have a family to support, although even childless married couples and singles are totally stressed financially). I'm just thankful to have gone against the elders' better judgment and gotten my bachelors, a "personal matter" and "conscience matter" that got me called on the carpet a few years ago after graduation - lol!

    I guess my point is that this outrageous treatment of yourself by someone you basically describe as an overweight slob who is disgracing the name of God publicly, is not the least surprising. "By their fruits you will recognize them," as Jesus said. At least you recognize this man as a religious hypocrite.

    I suggest that based on what this man did to you publicly, you follow through on filing criminal assault charges and perhaps you can add he filed false police charges to deprive you of worshiping in a public place. Remember that Kingdom Halls, like any other churches, are exempt from taxes because they (supposedly) for the public good! Then after the criminal matters are resolved, dependent on the outcome, consider filing a personal lawsuit against him and sue him for everything he's got.

    I suspect the elders in that congregation will disfellowship the man, but who knows? Parts of the organization seem to have become worldly to where the elders have a JW version of the world's "old boy's network" amongst them! Hopefully this is not the case in your congregation.

    Sitting in the front row, you have a lot of witnesses (pun intended) to testify on your behalf.

    AC,
    I'm not suppose to talk to my familiy about my situation, that what DF'n is all about they are coditioned not to go against the WT.
    My daughter and son inlaw told my wife I was not welcome at their house any more even before I got DF'd, because people were telling her what I was saying to others about things JW's are not supposed to talk about.
    Typical JW thinking the elder alway do whats right behind closed doors in the Judicial meetings.
    SS,
    Thanks for bringing that point out.

    Derrick, if we are not that far away from you maybe some day we will meet.
