Dear brothers and sisters in Jehovah's Organization: I AM MAD AS HELL AND I WILL NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!
Greetings brothers! Greetings sisters! Are you enjoying spiritual paradise?
You lurking out there! Sister Linda, your name is? Did I hear you say "what spiritual paradise?"
BAD ATTITUDE. What is your name and congregation? The names of your elders, please? There! Now that I have got that written down I AM TURNING YOU IN like the good little theocratic SNITCH that I am. You see, Sister Linda, complaining about Jehovah's organization even with subtle sarcasm shows lack of appreciation! I am going to turn you in and they will probably have you thrown out because true Jay Dubs like me are too good for those like you.
There, there, now, stop crying, Sister Linda! I was only teasing! I am so sorry to have upset you! Here take this hankie to blow your nose (and keep it just in case you need it again before the end of this post). Sit back down, dear, and listen to what I have to say. Maybe I can put a smile back on that pretty face!
Let me introduce myself. I'm Brother Thomas from a congregation somewhere in Los Angeles, California.
AND I AM MAD AS HELL AT THE BORG!
You see they assimilated me and then carelessly let me out of my incubator too soon. I started thinking and it caused me nothing but trouble. Even got an independent thinking streak in me. The elders tried giving me an attitude adjustment to no heartfelt avail. I pretended it worked and they think I am a good little Borg who is reconnected with the hive and even!
The truth about me? I am now hopeless by their standards and working in the reform underground. They do not know my true identity but I stand as one of their "most wanted apostates" in the Los Angeles region. This calls for an explanation.
I am not really apostate but baptized in good standing! I am on the body of elders in my congregation.
In the last 12 months I have been quite busy. I worked in the underground reform movement, passing Society correspondence along to outsiders. I even worked late nights on a project to copy really extreme publisher judicial case files to pass along to other reformers, ultimately for use in slowly but surely tearing down this corrupt judicial machine!
My purpose of creating a forum on H2O called The Judicial Machine.
Quite frankly to create an anonymous and globally visible place for anyone to post their experiences with the organization's judicial system. Experiences can range from describing one's traumatic experience before a committee for garden variety sins such as reading Ray Franz's "Crisis of Conscience" to getting caught with a blinding flashlight in your face by elders during a heavy petting scene in the back seat of the car with your date up on Lover's Point!
The mission of this forum is also to expose hidden abuses and lay naked the most disgusting, embarassing and outrageous abuses by judicial committees in congregations everywhere!
You know (whisper) the things that go bump in the night after meetings and behind closed doors. Up until now only ugly rumors fly around JW chat rooms off the beaten path outside of mainstream cyberspace forums like my dear friend Simon's. It is HUSH HUSH HUSH! Frankly I am sick and tired of this silence!
This is the part of the post where you send the kids and beloved ones who are wearing pacemakers or have weak hearts to bed! Those with cast iron stomachs are urged to put on a pot of coffee and generously spike it with some peppermint schnapps. Ready? DO NOT SAY I DID NOT WARN YOU!
I have heard but cannot substantiate these rumors. These are not out of the Enquirer, and even Kent himself refused to stoop low enough to publish what I am about to post! Why oh why would I post unsubstantiated rumors? Because like there is often truth behind many urban legends and folk tales, I think there is truth behind these legends. I WANT THE RECOUNTING OF THESE RUMORS TO TRIGGER MEMORIES IN SOME ONES WHO RECOGNIZES ONE OR MORE RUMORS AS REAL! I WANT THEM TO COME FORWARD AND TELL IT TO THE WORLD ON THE JUDICIAL MACHINE!
* Body of elders engages in pyramid scheme that causes many new investors to lose their life savings.
* Elders are secretly instructed to never reinstate those who question the faithful slave's authenticity if applying for reinstatement! This directive is passed on direct from Brooklyn through Circuit Overseer "mouthpieces"! The faithful slave uses Circuit Overseers as "heresay mouthpieces" in closed door sessions at Kingdom Halls to elder-only audiences. In these sessions elders are instructed not to record or take handwritten notes of the session. (I dearly wish you elders would tape those sessions using small camcorders to get a visual and verbal record when at all possible, and anonymously forward copies of the tapes to Watchtower Observer and Freeminds for public broadcast!)
* Sister cuts deal with judicial committee not to disfellowship her. Committee accepts deal that includes allowing them to take turns having sex with her!
* Presiding Overseer counsels young publisher in his early 20's to quit masturbating. Abstinence results in young brother getting aroused to the point of allowing the same elder to initiate gay intercourse.
* Someone purportedly entered one congregation's Kingdom Hall and removed all publisher record file. Rather than notify the Society, and in fear of their reprisal, the elders quietly reconstructed the files except for any with adverse judicial actions.
* Last year evidence surfaced that somebody had copied a massive number of confidential publisher records and other confidential materials at Society headquarters for reasons unknown.
* Evidence of regular gay protected sex is found because many Bethelites flush the evidence of such protection, as uncovered by those engaged in plumbing activities at Bethel to unclog facility toilets.
* Brooklyn callboy ring came to a head in the late 1970's after rumors circulated about the involvement of many Bethelites looking to supplement their generous $10 a month income! Although supposedly stopped due to later pay raises for Bethelites by the Society, many of the rumored "Brooklyn Boys" were never caught. Some remain at headquarters, still actively gay, to this very day. Does anybody want to venture a guess as to whom these boys' rumored "daddies" are at Bethel?
* Elders in various congregations continue to spy on congregation members in an attempt to gather evidence to disfellowship.
THESE ARE RUMORS!. The Judicial Machine is intended to chronicle cases both mild and severe in comparison to these notorious JW urgan legends!
WE NEED A HUGE VOLUME OF WITNESSES TO COME FORWARD IF THE JUDICIAL MACHINE IS TO GET TAKEN SERIOUSLY! One tragic post after another we can get heard! I encourage a combination of comparitatively "mild" cases where you were deeply hurt or affected by unjust judicial actions, and "severe" cases that will shock readers beyond belief.
BROOKLYN WILL NEVER THANK YOU FOR IT! Yet they might just decide that to disfellowship someone is to render a judgment that only Jehovah is capable of rendering.
I have planted The Judicial Machine seedling. Water it regularly. Post relevant information to the Watchtower Society's judicial system whether it is your experience or even something you heard through the organization's grape vine. Make it grow.
ARE YOU AS ANGRY AS I AM ABOUT THIS WHOLE MESS? THEN SPEAK OUT! DO NOT LET ANGER FREEZE YOU INTO SILENCE.
My love and best wishes to you, my friends,
Brother Thomas
