  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  No, he was tall and very slender. There were a few of the Lee brothers but I believe he was the one that spent the most time there.

  what angers you about the truth

  by stillajwexelder in

  this angers me .

  elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

  That after all the time I was "in" it turned out NOT to be the truth! Many wasted years.

  i'll miss this site more than i can say.. i do want to post what i consider to be a success story, due mainly to the information i've received over the years on this site.. .

  my sister is a long-time jw, a forever pioneer, etc.

  she's also poor, uneducated, and suffered a horrific childhood, but that's another story.

  Apropos as we 'move on'.

  dance like no one is watching.

  we convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.

  then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.

  This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

  thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

  once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

  there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

  or should i say goodbye folks.

  my posting days on xjw sites are over.. thanks to everybody for making this place so vibrant, informative and at times invigorating.

  an special thanks of course to simon and angharad, of whom too many expected too much and who, despite our differing viewpoints at times, have been trustworthy friends to me.
