G'day all you Freedom lovers and Freedomfesters!
So how's it been going for you this weekend? Or as we say downunder "owyergoinmate? Orright?"
What a week it's been! Posters travelling across the seas to join together to proclaim the truth about "The Troof".
Downunder we've been having our excitement too! Long-standing Dubs have been turning their backs on the lies told from the Australian Bethel. Over near Wollongong, (right near Stephanus actually), the R&F in one congregation are definitely stirring. And why not, when Bethel has been protecting a lecherous elder who delights in pinching the rears of young sisters! The Branch's response? Sack another elder for standing up for justice! But they reckoned without the R&F who've voiced grave disquiet. What a "Crisis of Conscience" they must be having, eh?
And then there's closer to Bethel where long-standing dubs of some repute have seen through the outrageous claims of the Borg and are seeking real truth.
And what of us? Well, Mrs Ozzie and I were "up in the big smoke" near Bethel today and who should we come across at the local Woolworths but a member of the Branch Committee and his wife. That was fun! We used to work together in Bethel and on special assignments for Crooklyn, so what did he do? His wife smiled but they couldn't scurry off quick enough! Don't worry, I'll be back!
So, it seems we should mark these events with this weekend's poll question, which is.......................
What do you say when you meet an ex-Dub?
1. Have a beer!
2. So, you found freedom too, eh?
3. Were you disfellowshiped?
4. Did you disassociate?
5. Did you write a letter?
6. Are you sorry now?
7. What's the best thing?
8. Did you read that thread on JWD?
9. Why'd you leave?
10. What's your favorite pizza topping?
11. My friends and I are calling on you and your neighbors.
12. Nothing.
13. Other (please detail)
I'm sure they'll be plenty more! Looking forward to your "experiences". Enjoy.
A special G'day to the Freedomfesters in Florida.
Cheers, Ozzie
