Quentin you wrote...With that experience at the hands of "Gods People" and the manner in which my mother was disfellowshiped I struck my tent in 1974 and moved on. Wish I could say I never looked back, it just wouldn't be true. It took a long time to get the Watchtower out of my system and I don't think my experiences, as a Jehovah's Witness, or the aftermath, are all that different from what others have gone through. Weather you're a current Witness, living in hell on earth, agonizing over what to do, or an ex Watchtower slave, making a life for yourself, we've all have made the same journey, one way or the other. We all have the same story to tell. Which can be summed up in one word betrayal.
One more thing before I end. I didn't get caught up in 1975. Some folks did. Don't know why, but I just didn't think about it much. I didn't experience the "body of Elders" in the way many of you have. When I left it really hadn't taken full effect. I will say, from what I have read over the last several years, including Ray Franz book, it is without a doubt the most insidious burden the Society has ever placed on the backs of Jehovah's Witnesses. Highhanded, kangaroo court, lynch mob mentality, unjust, power monger, dictator, thug, bully, Gestapo are a few words and phrases that come to mind. What a millstone.
Oh yeah... you SAY you are not apostate then WRITE the above? HAHAHA...That screams apostasy! Reading that idiot Franz book and then putting down the brothers like that! HAHA...You are not an apostate? Yeah right!
Finallysomepride, That´s right...You guys moan and bewail that the organization disfellowships NOW you want to ban me from here? Isn´t that the same thing? HAHAHA...You cannot take it so you resort to trying to ban. You cuss and scream like a little girl about organizations policies then you are acting EXACTLY like you SAY that act.
