Not being a Jehovahs Witness and why, there could be more reasons but these are the most pressing presently.
- The improper handling of my daughters abuse by the leaders (elders).
- Being required to shun family members or you will be disassociated.
- The condescending attitude of my brother in-law who is a leader in the congregation, and improperly handled my daughter's sexual abuse.
- No reasonable accommodation for my mental disability, during sessions at the hall in connection with needing to be alone at times because of complex partial seizures and having to retreat to the back room because i lose contact with my surroundings,
- Cannot follow along in the bible while someone is speaking on podium at the same time, in hall it causes partial seizures caused from fall fromm my roof.
- The only friends youre allowed to have are Jehovahs Witnesss or you will be marked as bad association.
- Cannot go to a bar on a regular basis to sing or play pool or you will be marked as bad association.
- Cannot date a Witness woman to get to know her, except under controlled circumstances only to be scrutinized by the elders.
- Living with the dread of displeasing God, and the thought of losing my children by Gods hand.
- Not wanting to ever again shun my brother Dan or any family member or friend because I know what its like to be dealt with in that manor its hardly loving its only controlling.
- Many questions remain not assured about the doctrine and those who govern the religion, if you seek answers concerning such questions you are labeled an apostate the lowest designation for a wrong doer and to the witnesss paramount to resisting God him self, which is unreasonable.
- Being required to accept and conform to the Witness judicial standards and bylaws even if by doing so will infringe on your civil rights, such as (being represented by legal counsel, and having an observer or transcriber during a judicial hearing or tapping the meeting, when they are themselves are taking notes they demand you cannot avail your self of the same protection) logic dictates it would be folly to trust an arrangement like that. You told to trust them because God appointed them.
- Elders have a book that is not viewed upon by regular members it is used for judicial hearings, even in the so called worldly courts of law prison inmates have access to law librarys to learn of judicial procedure in their behalf, but not if youre a Jehovahs Witness your not accorded this privilege. This fact is denied and most of the members mock you if you mention that it exists and again you likely will be reported to elders or be marked and then talks given to the congregation about being faithful to God by being faithful to the organization if conversation spreads concerning it, again too much control in the hands of a few, and the organization occupying Gods place like the Pope of Rome.
In summery what ever happened to God directing Christ to his sheep, is there really a kind God who even gives a dam? Pepper.
