Same here on the double-standard and hypocrisy...

I also had lots of "insider's" info on a lot of DF cases that I disagreed with. Also knew of a MS that was the head of an MLM pyramid. But instead of paying the little tiny part that was supposed to go out to the members of his pyramid, he forged all the members' signatures and cashed the checks for himself. He also cheated on his wife, then requested divorce on grounds of fornication and the elders DF'd his wife. He then went on marrying the "sister" he cheated on his wife with. To this day and to my knowledge, he's still a MS in good standing within the cong (because he's got money).

I mean how much more hypocritical and double-standardish can you get?

Initially it was the abuse

then the hypocrasy

then then lack of love

then more hypocasy

after that some downright cruelty

and of course let's not forget the shunning - such a display of love there too

and finally I started reading apostate litter-ature

so then it was Mexico/Malawi

and the money

and the asking for estates to be given to them

and also the shunning and lack of love

The failed prophesies

oh yes double standards

the mind control they use

the lack of genuine caring and compassion

and now I am back to square one - the child sexual abuse, the wife abuse, the shunning and the hyporacy

Guess by now you coud say it it the whole sick thing

For me, I suffered with depression/anxiety and felt burdened by the guilt of the TRUTH .... every way I turned, guilt was heaped on my shoulders. I had problems at the meetings (couldn't answer-up/couldn't join in basically) and I know that this was frowned upon. Matters just got worse & worse and I felt more isolated with my problems. I started drinking, daily, and eventually shut myself away.

The brothers around me at that time had no idea how to handle me and obviously the advice was - go out in the ministry or have faith in Jah etc .... not at all useful for me personally.

I was also told by a loving sister?!? not to seek professional help for my troubles - council outside of the organization, was likely to be guided by Satan to lead me away from the TRUTH. The same (mad!) sister who once told me that she had demonised bed linen - don't ask !

I then witnessed terrible hypocrisy through so called brothers?!? Who were getting up to tricks, that I could not reconcile with Christian faith. Heavy drinking, messing around with sisters and general back stabbing.

I can appreciate the view that brothers were mechanical in their dealings - I saw this as well - devoid of fellow feeling for the most part. A show of empathy, but nothing that went below the surface.

I then met a sister who was nearly exploding with the burden of the truth.... and basically, we crept off together and vanished.

It started with a remark a friend made on Russel, on him being a drunk etc. I said "No, that's not true" But at home I decided I would needed to know that for sure. So I started digging into my history books, an found some interesting stuff. No, not about Russel, but about false prophecies. Than, I started to read more, and more, and more. With every word I read, my doubts grew. Began to see the mind control, and began to think for myself. Finally read ray Franz, which gave me the final show.

Oh, and there was this guy...

Viv,

: It started with a remark a friend made on Russel, on him being a drunk etc.

Russell was a tee-totaler. It was Rutherford who was the alcoholic and who started the drinking culture in Bethel which survives to this day.

Amazing

Hey Farkel: Nothing like calling ti what it is:

I also had a big problem with the Watchtower Machine-Gun-Nazi-Killer God destroying innocent babies at Armageddon.

Well, you and everyone else are able to be so succinct. It took me 18 parts to say just why I left ... well, of course, my exit was fraught with the weird and the fun conbined.

I left b/c I noticed how they took the scriptures out of context.

The lack of love amongst themselves..

The lack of compassion.

The back biting.

The gossiping.

The hipocrisy.

etc.etc.etc....................................................................
