Do you know, Farkel? I couldn't even finish reading your post, it made me literally feel light-headed and queasy. I have read some of these quotes before, and I am at a point after leaving the Society when I am very remorseful for the lack of love and understanding I showed to my own struggling children (who at 17, 15, 12, and 11 now, and thankfully, who stopped being regular at meetings themselves about 3 years ago, will be okay). I thought I was doing what would save them and me. I thought I was doing the very BEST thing for them.
I thought that the org. WAS the Truth. And now I know I was wrong.
I'm in a funk. I worry about trusting myself to think. I worry that even though they SAY they forgive me, because they could see my good intentions, that I will not EVER be able to forgive myself the lack of REAL love shown in the name of the WT God -- which god, of course, is the WTS itself!

Thank you for the time and effort you put into posting these quotes, however. I did want to say that, too. Because it is important for others who have not yet read them to see what an unloving, EVIL entity the Society has been down through the years. We were (some still are) so BLIND....

Thank you for tearing off the blinders, so that the WT world can be seen as it really is.

Witness Murdered Doing Field Service!!!!!!

i wanted to share a rather sickening and heart breaking story with everyone here.

a few months ago a young and pregnant jw mother was kidnapped by another women when showing the vehicle that her and her witness husband were selling.

the killer was another women who couldnt have children of her own,.

The pregnant young witness mother in question was NOT "Murdered Doing Field Service." At the time of the murder, a friend of mine sent me the link to the newspaper (Dayton, Ohio?) articles and I followed the story for days as new information came to light.

Rather, the young witness mother was a typically naive member of the Borg, having been raised in the truth, and not expecting ill of the woman who came to HER home in response to an advertisement for a vehicle she and her husband were selling.

Yes, she and her murderess lived near one another. And yes, the murderess was an unbalanced woman who wanted a baby, ANYONE's baby, desperately and told both her husband and the neighbors that she was pregnant, etc.

You are correct that no news story ever mentioned a call on the murderess by another sister or that this sister may have mentioned the victim's pregnant state and address to the murderess. This is DEFINITELY gossip and should not be given any credance at all.

As I recall (and I may be incorrect here) the murderess had seen the sister and her husband with the vehicle for sale, decided that she would be a good victim, and waited until daytime when the sister would likely be alone to make the appt. to see the vehicle. They went for a "test drive" and the sister never came home. And, with all the uproar, I think it was the husband or neighbors who finally concluded that the whole pregnancy story was a bunch of bull and alerted police. (The woman didn't call her husband for the delivery, no hospital bills, and the concurrent disappearance of the sister...)

So, I find your topic line a bit inflammatory, don't you?

natred,

Well, seems like you're way ahead of me. Must not type fast enough.
I am truly sorry for the horrible things that have happened to you and your family while worshipping at the Borg. May you find peace.

Again, welcome.

Natred,

I'm sure you've got an interesting story that will explain your present utter disgust with the Society which seems to be upsetting to some here. Personally, I'm not surprised any longer when emotions run high. Many of us who have finally understood that our lives have been wasted go through a period of mourning which, of course, includes the anger you are feeling right now.

Please feel free to "vent" here anytime. That's what this site is all about -- freedom of expression, at last! -- and it's proven very helpful as exiting JWs deal with their feelings of anger and regret.

If you would like to, you could post that story someday on the Making New Friends Forum, and it may be a way to encourage to "have faith in themselves" so that they can live a "real, truly fulfilling life" outside of the org.

Welcome.

BOC,

Thank you for echoing my thoughts posted on the "murder letter" thread, in a more reasoned manner, and making it the subject of a separate thread.

As I stated there: The WT Society may be legally constrained from reporting the confession, but it is not MORALLY constrained from urging the murderer to turn himself in to the superior (God-appointed) authorities. And therein lies the ethical problem which the Society's letter totally ignored!
