  My brother, who is an elder, just called me to see how I was doing. He doesn't know that I'm not attending the meetings.

  I asked him how him & his wife, a pioneer are doing. I asked him about his wife's pionnering. He told me that people have been really "rude" due to all the WTS Children abuse in the media & that they hardly placed any magazines with householders anymore. A housewife slammed the door on my sister-in-law saying, "I Do Not Support Pedophile Preaching Witnesses. I Refuse to live Forever in a Paradise on earth with Pedophiles" My sister-in-law started crying & left.

  She hasn't started any new bible studies in months. Her bible studies are no longer wanting to study. They keep asking "excellent" questions on the abuse issues. They have had to reduce their magazine order by from 200 (100 sets) to 120 or 60 sets. He is thinking of reducing it again since they can't even place 1/2 of them anymore.

  Since alot of "worldly" people found out about our sister's abuse, non-JW's are telling him, "Your own father abused your little sister. Why didn't you report it to the authorities."

  He cant deny that the media is speaking with the truth since his own father, my stepfather, was disfellowshipped for abusing our little sister in the mid 90's.

  I didn't dare tell him - YET - any of the "real" information of the WTS- false prophecies, UN & other. I will wait for the perfect time.

  YES!!!

  That is terrific news Cappo! We are making a difference. The Borg may yet have to make changes because the Army of Opposition is growing.

  Hi Mike,

  I've read your other posts that you have family in Othello. My family lives about 40 miles more or less north of Othello. I'm in contact with Erica and we know lots of the same 'old brothers from the area'.

  Contact Erica & ask her about me. She'll give you info.

  Mike,

  I thought you're from New York? You e-mailed me once asking me if I was from NY & I said NO-West Coast. Are you back in the state of Washington? Are you attending the meetings in Othello? My brother visits Othello & gives the public talk.

  Ya se que hablas espanol. Mandame un e-mail. No te preocupes que no revelare tu identidad.

  Hi Queenie,

  It is sad that some nice people, even though they are JW's, will pay the price. In regards to my sister-in-law. If you knew her you wouldn't feel bad that she cried. She claims to be "old School" when she's only 27.

  She's the "righteous queen". She made me cry early this year for no reason. I then asked her to try to display the fruits of the spirit. She responded in front of her husband, my brother an elder that she didn't need to display the fruits of the spirit.

  So I don't feel bad that she cried. She's getting a bit of her own medecine.

  LOL!! Good! This is the ONLY way the average Witness is ever going to find out the truth about what's going on in the Organization with regards to pedophiles.

  Good! That will be the first of the many REEEEAAAAAL humbling experiences she and all these self-righteous Creeps will have. She's crying, BooHoo. I don't feel one bit sorry if they are crying about these experiences as they're reaping what they sow.

  Great News, Cappuccino!
