Hello everyone!
This is my first post and I offer thanks for all of your thoughts, some of which are almost as crazy as my own.
I ran away at age 14 to escape and have never looked back. The decision was difficult but nothing by comparison to the trauma which followed. This organization is "EVIL" in all of its ways and should not be allowed to grow. The WTS took from me that which was rightfully mine " my rights as a child-my entire family and identity".
My story however really is not so bad when compared to those who truly
suffered for the WTS.
As I skimed over much of the information offered on these sites I became alarmed.I may be a high school drop out and no genius but see a
problem. People should consider that this organization is far more evil than once thought. Don't you remember "THINK" all those hours at the KH all those sermons, sermons about how we were persecuted.Talks given in proof of how we were of the true faith, examples of death which reinforced our beliefs. Stories of how our families were separated, women and children raped and stories of such wrong doings.
Example after example... persecution after persecution...story after story all of which drove people to the organization in droves. What? "WE-US-YOU AND I" persecuted and put to death, I don't recall death knocking on my door..do you? I assure you that if this was happening in America or other industrialized nations this organization
would not have grown. And we all ask ourselves why a bigoted organization would not allow those in Malawi to except a political card. Not allowing them the same rights as other JWS in other nations, a simple littel card that meant nothing. Do JWS who imagrate
to this country not have to pledge allegiance? JWS members who lived in a country that were as poor as poor can be, a membership that was of little consequence "redundant".
But yes success "YES" these members do have perppus and their own worth wait in gold, self persecution of the servant class. A master piece in the making a means of extracting great amounts of money from those who were touched by their suffering. Did the WTS truly show them love and is it that we gave them no thought?? Lets call this by what it was "MASS SUICIDE". I guess you can justify anything when your the people of God.
Can we not give these people who died the respect they deserve, consider a memorial site with some true stories of horror. Show the WTS that we are not what they have become "incenced", would it not bring them into "NEW LIGHT".
ok so I go overboard sometimes?
