  Here is a link to my new devotional Egroup:

  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/exjehovahswitnessesdevotional/

  Here is a sample of today's devotion:

  Sorry it was late, I had to work today.
  
  "He passed in front of Moses and said, "I am the LORD, I am the LORD,
  the merciful and gracious God. I am slow to anger and rich in
  unfailing love and faithfulness. I show this unfailing love to many
  thousands by forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. Even so I do
  not leave sin unpunished, but I punish the children for the sins of
  their parents to the third and fourth generations." Moses
  immediately fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said, "If it is
  true that I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, then please go
  with us. Yes, this is an unruly and stubborn people, but please
  pardon our iniquity and our sins. Accept us as your own special
  possession." Exodus 34:6-9.
  
  WE as former Jehovah's Witnesses were very stubborn when it came
  towards our view of the Watchtower and its leadership. We supported
  them in many cases even if it defied both common sense and Biblical
  truth. We follow them and no one could have told us any different.
  Can you remember the times where you would obey the Organization
  until the "New System," came or until death?
  
  Jehovah's Witnesses are no different than the Israelites of Moses
  day. They are still human and Israel even after leaving Egypt still
  worships the Idols and False Gods of Egypt. Jehovah's Witnesses
  worship the Watchtower Organization and Idolized the leadership.
  
  Like Aaron who when pressured by the Nation of Israel did make an
  idol of God of Baal. Many Jehovah's Witnesses, who are sincere in
  loving God like Aaron, also make an idol of the Watchtower even if
  they know it goes against Biblical Truth and common sense.
  
  Many Jehovah's Witness parents have sacrificed their children at the
  altar of the Watchtower by allowing the Organization to pressure to
  make decisions which would lovingly protect their children. Who
  would allow a child to die by refusing them a live saving blood
  transfusion? How many would sacrifice their children like
  Silentlambs at the altar of the almighty Watchtower by allowing the
  fear of disfellowshipping out weight the rights of their children?
  Is it worth seeing your child die due to the lack of blood? Is it
  worth torturing and tormenting the child with the fact his molester
  rights are more important than the child's?
  
  Deep inside, we began to see our acts of idolatry. Many of us are
  like Aaron when Moses confronted him with the making of the Idol,
  just excuse our bad decision by saying, "The Watchtower said we were
  obeying Jehovah." Do we excuse ourselves from any responsibility for
  our decision when were we Jehovah's Witnesses or do we repent?
  
  Jehovah understand why we do what we do, but will not allow us to
  even use him as an excuse.
  
  We can accept his Son Jesus and he will forgive us. If we read the
  Bible with out the Watchtower, we can see he does not require us to
  do things which are only common sense.
  
  Today, he has shown us, the former Jehovah's Witness great mercy and
  today goes ahead of us.
  
  
  If you like it join up.

  I thought Shriley did great. Shriley was nervous and upset because now she felt she would be forever branded as the "devil worker" and never se her kids again. We told her how will that change what she is going though now? So one up here for Shirley jackson who story is so heartbreaking. I have known her for a while and glad I had no family as JWS.

  This article began as a response to an article which ws pro-JW a few weeks ago about the Stratton Case in the St. Pete Times.

  When I saw it I asked Sharon if the paper would do an article on the "other side" At first she told me the paper probaly won't do it. I told her about Bill and got her somelocal contact in the XJWS ministry in the area.

  I got interviewed by my issues were very old (over 10 years) and out of the area.

  When you see article which are pro JW, be polite to the reported and see if they would do an article on the other side.

  Plase foward the article to the local papers, for it may soften the editor for our plight.

  Love Tess

  That is where you are incorrect aobut the Jews.

  For even in Biblical times the birth of a Boy was celebrated every year on his birthday. Birth of a Girl was considered a curse and was not celebrated. It is still this way in Many Middle Eastren cultures today.

  BTW have a very happy Birthday Bill and know many are out there celebrating with you.

  A plea for the silent lambs

  in early march of this year, in the echoes of uncertainty left after the horror of 9-11, just one year after i had nearly died myself from a massive, still unexplained, seizure, i determined that i wanted to be a writer.

  there were so many things i wanted to write about, my head swirled with possibilities.

  one topic kept coming front and center, unavoidably.

  Are you going to be in NYC for the Silentlamb march? I hope to meet you there.
