Howdy,
Seems I've been waiting all my life. Waiting to leave my childhood family, waiting til my kids were old enough to leave my first husband, waiting on Jehovah, waiting for the system to end.
Then the Big One......we had a really lousy business dealing with our local elders (bought our KH). We trusted them as a group - for we thought as a group, they would be honest. Individually, there's a couple of thieves in there - and we knew it - particularily the PO. All the business meetings were conducted in the KH, and they demanded we say prayer before & after asking for Jehovah to be there. And then they lied, swindled,......
Long & short - we got screwed, but didn't figure it out until about two years afterwards. Then we wrote our beloved Society (they told us to - we called). They said give them some time to sort through it - after a year, we finally had our lawyer call them (it was a business deal) - and they told our lawyer we did it all wrong - but our lawyer did get a sermon on Mathew for an hour.
We played all our cards, appealled to the Society for justice - and they said they would answer us - that was about 1.5 years ago.
I'm still "waiting." On this issue - I think it's a goner I'll be "waiting" til the cows come home, eh?
