    Band on the Run

    Sometime during this year I arranged for a local visit to discuss the Selma and Steve domestic abuse (20 years of extreme physical and emotional abuse are ok b/c the hubbie converted to JW. The WT article did not say whether he stopped beating her. Maybe he still does) and a direct quote from a Nuremberg convicted theolgian. His theology was central to Naziism. It was not a side issue. I was too lazy to write a letter and mail it.

    They had no clue what I was talking about even tho I knew they studied it the week before in KH. Two sisters stood in my apartment with no idea what was happening. No one pays any attention in KH, I guess. Well, when they had to acknowledge certain points -- such as sisters have a duty to politely ask a bro in a respectful penis-worship way about beatings--they said I read apostate literature. I said no, I read my own Bible. No one needs to read apostate lit. to know what Jesus expressly said. They could not stick it but their looks indicated they were afraid.

    I still don't know why but they focused on my bookcase. When I saw their focus, I proclaimed, Yes I read books! All kinds of books-cookbooks, art books, history books, and several Bibles. Do you want to see what a real Bible looks like? They fled. I was annoyed for engaging with them.

    When I latched my door, I looked around my apartrment and saw it through their eyes. Beatle worship, New York worship, a Russian icon of Mary and Jesus (the horror), several angels as nice figurines, and a small cross. Too bad. Somehow I don't think they will knock on my door ever again.

    Of course, I have been out decades. The JW realtives I respected are long dead. Yeah, I am so worldly and demonic. I wish.

    Yeah, I can totally understand your nephew. At 16, I was a zealot, man. In-sane. Not 'mentally diseased', though. Now I am, but not back then. If he's a thoughtful type, he's responding with the training, but deep down, beneath the surface, well, I can speak only for myself, but I know I was terrified of the possibility someone might threaten my faith. I assumed it was the only thing between me and a drug-filled orgy after which I would either die immediately in a car accident or slowly and painfully with AIDS. So...yeah.

    Criticizing the beliefs gets this response. I admit I sometimes pretend to still believe in the Bible for the sake of conversation, sort of an 'all things to all people' kind of approach, though it's mainly to avert conflict more than anything else. Hmm.

    Also, really like your site--I got a laugh out of that logo! It must scare the heck out of visiting JWs. A burning Watchtower???!! Shut down the Internet browser! Quickly!

    Sorry about your dog, though. Not an animal person, yet I've grieved at the death of nearly every animal I've grown up with. So I get the pain of it for someone who cares far more would be far greater.

    BOTR could you send me more information on the theologian you spoke of. It sicken's me to think how blind the majority of us were for decades and refused to see the "Light".

    Good thread, sorry about your situation, there are plenty of us on your side in this arena, how do we exit it with our family and dignity before they waste their lives on a useless pursuit!
