by AndersonsInfo in

jwn poster, uzzah, posted a link to this article in one of his older posts which he brought to the top, but i think this excellent article deserves a thread of its own.

Posting to this very late

freedomisntfree This woman was my mom and her story was indeed very very true. I remember my parents talking about it when they were making the plans, elders were involved in those conversations. They all planned to take the boy and there was a lot of proverbial high-fiving afterward. I think a few of my mom's comments were altered or misunderstood, for instance, I don't think the police were looking for them yet but the group knew the police would be called once the hospital realized the boy was missing. I don't think they went to Mexico, as I never remember hearing that come up.

Mom also never claimed to live at Bethel, but she did work with my dad and they both worked occasionally at Bethel. Having us kids meant they couldn't live there. My dad became a lawyer in NB then Bethel asked him to move to Ontario. Our whole family life changed after that. Dad had to have an independent private practice, but he was really in the WTS pocket and their beck and call when something came up.

What my parents, and I, did as part of the JW's was wrong, but at the time we so believed we were doing the right thing and the WTS was right there patting my parents on the back (while dismissing the abuse going on at home).

Really old post here but wanted to make one important clarification, Donna Ryder was never a Bethelite. She and Daniel Pole worked in and with Bethel but couldn't live there because they had us kids (I'm one of the kids). Mom's story on this about taking the boy in her Dodge Omni (I think it was red) is true because I remember them talking about it at home. My dad's denial and comments are blatant lies and not the first time he's acted above the law.

Kensei01, who are you and would you like to get in touch? I'm Janey's niece, daughter of the "self absorbed clown."

I left home in Feb 1996, a few months before Janey died. My mom called me at high school to deliver the news. I wanted to go to the funeral but couldn't. Because I left the JW's I was no longer part of the family. I tried to call my grandfather and the rest of the family to give me condolences and was chewed out by one of my uncles and told never to contact them again. When my grandpa died a few years later in Ontario, I was told I wasn't welcome to the funeral.

I miss my family every day and it's been terribly hard to lose them. I also free incredible guilt attached with the deaths of those caused by the blood refusal in part because it's my dad who argued those cases. Reading many of the comments posted on here was hard, this is still my family and I'm both protective and angry at them.
Please remember to try and use kindness when talking about people, they are someone's beloved aunt, grandparent, or even parent (even if they totally are a self absorbed clown).
