What Is The Greatest Injustice You've Encountered?

....Either because you are/were a Witness or because of an issue or situation that is dear to your heart?

Being misled by the WT and having it affect my life the way they wanted it to.

Being a victim of abuse and not having anyone willing to really listen and help

I can't think of any injustices toward me, I guess I have no one to blame but myself.

It can be a great injustice when you become labeled. At the hall, it takes no time to be labeled for something. If you are well off financially, and one day you lose your job, then people will not help you as much, or at all, if you were labeled as rich.

This is not the greatest injustice but it's the first one to come to mind.

Once during the visit of the Circuit Overseer there was an elder's family who had missed the meetings for about a week, the mother had been diagnosed with advanced cancer and was receiving treatment for it at the hospital. The CO said to the entire congregation without mentioning the name of the family but everyone knew who he was talking about something like: "There is never a good reason to miss meetings. Even if we have a relative in the hospital that is not a reason to miss meetings!"

Ahh, such love!

If only the brother and sisters would go and see sick people at the hospital, or at home. Then they could say stupid things like don't miss your meetings. It boils down to one thing. Be there and produce, or else.

one thing that comes to mind is the story in COC where the elderly brother had the care of sisters coming to his house, he so desperately needed assistance and when he was disfellowshipped they no longer came around. How Cruel for the WTS to leave that person is such dyar circumstances.

then theres Milawai and the Mexico story.

There are two cases of suicide I know of personally, where there is a question of someone being involved ,,,, making it murder. These people in my eyes, may have gotten away with murder and if they are in any way connected with these deaths, Iwould like to see them get their punishment on Judgement day. It is so sickening to sit and not be able to do anything ,or prove anything while the persons you love are dead and gone, and the person who was responsible is living their life to the full.It makes me sick!!!!!!!!!

I also now of a young mother, she was a sister too, who has been missing now for over 2 yrs, dropped out of sight one night and left two little girls behind. THey have never found her body, or heard a word or a clue where she might be, what could have happened. Her hubby was in the army here and on base here, and he is a suspect , because they were fighting over child custody . They have only him linked to her, but there is no physical evidence . I think this is another great injustice for many reason,,,,,,,, her parents are devested and there is no closure for them.

Island Woman that Circuit Overseer was a heartless bastard!! And I am being nice.

There are many injustices in this world that I have encountered. One of the biggest injustices is when we lost our home on April the 18th 1991 it was going to be repossessed but it sold on the night of the 17th we had no where to go, my mother and father lived next door to us and my sister lived close to us and they lived in a huge home with a full furnished basement and another sister with a full furnished basement in a new home a few miles from us. And do you think that one of them just one of them would take our small family of three in. No not in your life. Not one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The bloodly hypocrties. They are alll Jehovah"s Witnesses as we were and all in the same congregation. My parents were angry with me and they weren't talking to me so they convinced I guess my other sisters not to open their home to us. I don't know what was in my parents craw, but they were angry since in 1988 since I was reproved for drinking a company picnic and I guess I had to much and elder snitched and that story is in another thread.So I paid my price for my so called sin. And also because I spoke with me neighbours and had beer with them every now and then. My father was an elder and I guess I made him look bad. Who knows. We ended up staying in a motel and my sweet son was so violently sick to his tummy because he was so upset grandma and grandpa and his aunts and uncles all turned us away. This left a permenant impression in my sons heart to this day and he doesn't love any of them because of what they did to us. He said JW are hypocrites. So young and sinister. What a shame. I despised them too. How could they do that. sure they were angry with me but to their grandson. I found it difficult to get over it.So we stayed in a motel for a couple of weeks until our money ran out and then going to social assistance for help they put us in another motel for four months until a town house became available for us. My father made several visits to the motel to see my ex husband in the resturant not me though. He apperantly was very angry with me according to my ex. but my ex was a liar and he was manipulating things between my parents and me. My sister told me her husband didn't want us there cus dad didn't think it was a good idea. I wasn't good enough. She wanted to but her stupid husband sided with my dad. What shit. Such crap.

When I eventually found out everything I could just throw up. I'm still angry, my ex husband has much to answer for. Well for that matter so does the rest of my family. For JWs they were cruel and unkind, one day my dad wouldn't drive me to emergency at the hospital, I had to get a sister from miles away to take my yet they were right beside me. The gossip in our hall was un believable. So this is a injustice that happen to me. I am so glad I am no longer a JW...
