Just when I thought it was over I get a phone call

    One of the families in the hall called me last night and let another piece of the puzzle out. Apparently there was another family that we don't even know who had gotton a phone call from these jerk off elders down here questioning them about us and what they knew.(anything negative)

    This family is an eight hour car ride from us. WTF??? I thought I could just be left alone now but not! So I called the bethel branch to speak to an overseer there but he's on holidays this week. He's the one hubby called for help and the guy said our elders must have strong evidence in order to call a jc. They had nothing. The co was suppose to talk to another family in the hall that stood up for us and he didn't. So now I've had enough and don't care if I get df'd.Your treated the same if your on public reproof or just plain inactive. Plus, I run into a pioneer who says he's going off the list as soon as he's done pioneer school because he can't make ends meet. This is why I had a six hour jc. I was suppose to have discouraged the pioneers in our hall over six years ago although they couldn't remember their stories. Holy crap what a night mare.

    Any suggestions on what I should say to the goon at bethel next week when I speak to him? I am going to tell him this co is in on it for he told me he was going to talk to the other families and he never did. It's his first time being a co and he grew up partying with all these idiot elders. I realise that probably nothing will get done but then I have my closure and no doubt will be df'd. These whack jobs have done all seven things that Jehovah detests according to proverbs which I will be stateing. I am so pissed off right now, it just never seems to end. I wish the law could at least do something about them slandering us behind our backs.

    Any suggestions are appreciated but I am going through with this one final last time. There's another family in my old hall that is being harrassed now. Again, a local needs on apostacy was given and next the elders wait to see what gossip they can hear about this poor family and now they are doing the same thing to them as what was done to us. I wonder if this is the training these goons get from the society jerks.

    The sister that let us know about what the elders were saying to the families in the hall about us is really being treated badly. The coby went up to her and shook her hand really hard that she was in tears and told her that a firm handshake means the person behind it has alot of power and not to forget it. He's a real bully and has told her and her husband that they are materialistic. They have nothing but coby cheesehead owns a condo in Florida as well as a 3000 square foot home with an inground swimming pool plus a speed boat and two cadillacs.

    These guys are too wicked to fight but they don't like it if bethel is called. Just need some good remarks to throw back at the bethel goon when I've had enough. Sorry I had to vent

    You know what the edges of a black hole look like, right? It's all chaos, stretched out of shape and once sucked in again there's no getting out.

    Write down what freedom feels like.

    Share that with the fools.

    Well, "piss off" is short and sweet. Give that other suffering family your phone number in case some day they leave too. Tell the elders to piss off. Turn your back and walk away.

    Showing up to a JC indicates that you acknowledge their authority over you.

    I suggest you tell them you have nothing to say to them and to stop harassing you, or don't bother showing up. Go out for dinner and a movie instead.

    Thanks jgnat. Life was starting to look up with all of hubby's relatives coming back into the picture and then this. These old feelings that I keep fighting off all come flooding back when I hear this.

    One of hubbys relatives is up from Big Bear southern California and he had studied with the witlesses for a while. He started going to the meetings and he said noone would say hi to him or his wife and all he saw was meetings on how to pump their literature at the doors. He saw a corporation feeding off people and knew to get the heck out. His wife had bipolar and they were isolated where they lived. They were the perfect candidates that society is looking for but once he stopped going then the couple that was studying with them stopped coming over.

    I actually envy hubby who is df'd now. He got witnessed to the other day and he can say anything to any of them and they run. He has this calmness about him that I want. He has his total freedom back along with his freewill. He's really happy and I want that too!

    Oh , I'm sure I will say those words before I'm done with them. My confidence is back to do that much. My heart goes out to all who are still in for the sake of their families. I know for sure I couldn't sit meeting after meeting listening to their lies and yet I don't know what I would do knowing I still have the rest of my family in. You do what you gotta do I guess. This religion is so wicked with alot of innocent hurt abused people in it. I just don't know what to say to all of you. It really breaks my heart and yet you've taught me so much through your painful memories. I feel thank you isn't enough for helping me to escape from this wild beast.

    If you really want to speak to the guy at bethel, I would consider writing down what you want to say in case you get angry and start to forget. Just the highlights to help you, and make sure to name names, dates, places. Tell him these ones have stumbled you with their unchristian, unscriptural behavior, and you can't see yourself going back because of them. Relay the story of the bully handshake. Try to stay calm & matter of fact. This might sound mean, but those with power who use it for evil & to hurt others, deserve to be outed.

    When it is all over & done with, you can call each of these and tell them to go sit on their thumbs & rotate. Just say it directly to them so there is no trail.

    All the best to you!

    (((HUGS)))) I don't know what to say to advise you or have any suggestions to make, but I want you to know I feel for you. What a mess. I don't understand why they just don't let you go your merry way because you surely can't be harmful to them now.

    Label, I have no idea what to say to the Bros at Bethel.

    But when it comes to Bro Cheesehead COBE Elder, and his threatening handshakes, he is a bully,

    like you say, but quite possibly a psychopath.

    A mesmerizing snake, that likes to "play" his chosen victims. He is seeing you as a threat, perceived or otherwise.

    Is his goal to make sure you are DFed and out of his way and to shut you up?

    See if you can do what you have to do so you don't get DFed so your relatives will still talk to you.

    I am sorry this is happening to you and hubby.

    (((((((Hugs of friendship and concern))))))

    Just Lois
