Letter to my sons, why I left WT -- 1975 and lies were reasons

by FatFreek 2005 in

several months ago i wrote a letter to two of my sons, still jw.

the letter is 41 years belated.

i am now 78 years old so this was a bucket list item.

LoisLane looking for Superman

What an excellent letter FatFreek 2005.

The GB and WT are the liars, trouble makers, narcissists, who intentionally break up families for their own (evil) purposes that no one should associate with. Not you.

You uncovered all of WT's dirty laundry, their LIES and presented them in your letter in a fabulous, easy for anyone to understand, way.

You are the hero. When your boys wake up to WT lies, they will see that you really were their hero, that you woke up to WT lies but their mother got in the way of what? What value did she see to stay a JDumb? What status or friends did she choose over you? What happened??? Did she have a "brother" lined up to marry after you two divorced? How was her life, how were your boys life like, without your daily presence in the family home?

I am so sorry for all the grief and lost years and enjoyment WT / GB has caused you and millions of others.

I hope your sons are brave enough to man up and see that you were / are the good one here. Not WT / GB that they are (still?) following.

It is all such a nightmare. My life too was put "on hold" to put "kingdom interests" (read WT / GB's interests) first also. I was a true (read guillible / innocent) Believer that fiinally woke up at age 62. Taking the red pill of reality is hard but well worth it.

You are such a nice man. The photo of you with your large family is so lovely. You must have a lot of grandchildren by now. Forty years that WT has taken from you is horrible. Simply horrible.

As you are able, because this must be a very emotionally exhausting subject for you (very understandable) would you tell us more about how life has been for you these 40 years? Are you in good health? Did you remarry and have more chldren or step children? Did you find someone to love that will cherish you and think of you as a partner and that you respect what each other has to say? I ask that because your (1st?) wife took a left hand turn to follow WT no matter what and left you in the dust. Are your sons like their mother? Do you know if they received any other education past their high school years?

It is now 2019. With the internet available to everyone, the truth about what a lying, corrupt orgainization WT / JW..org really and truly is, is out there. They can read JWFACTS or your letter above.

I wish you and all of us happiness and peace and good health and good friends and success in all ways and especially in healing from WT's many abuses.

Scary Experience

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

something weird and scary happened to us last nihgt.

we had a few friends over for the weekend.

we love to go hiking and long walks wherever and whenever we can.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Hi ZindagiNa,

Wow, scary situation with 2 men and 3 women involved in staying calm and quiet while looking for a successful chance to live and escape.

How the heck did you sense you needed to stay hiding while watching these 2 guys walk around, once, twice and then 3 times hunting for you and your group? Did fear paralyze all of you? Fear to stay, fear to go. How did you sense that after 3 go 'rounds, you felt it was a good time to go? Was it a collective decision?

I am asking because my first sense would have been to get the heck out of town as soon as I saw them leave the first time. And then, I would have been caught and likely dead.

When you wrote that while being quiet and hiding, the Evil Ones, walked around 3 times... That all 5 of you were able to stay calm...

If any one of you got up and left after the first time these creeps walked around, you could be all dead. Same with the second and third time.

How were all 5 of you able to make the quiet decision to leave after the Evil Ones had come around 3 times already??? Did you run out or go slinking behind bushes and trees?

How is your neighbourhood? Do you still feel safe there?

So GLAD you all made it out.

What a horrible nightmare.

My JW-Related Musical Experiences

by Roger Kirkpatrick in

looking back over my life, the only thing that i can say i truly enjoyed as a jw was meeting and becoming friends with a number of jws who were fine musicians and had experienced various measures of success in what used to be called the "music business.

tommy reynolds, from the vocal group hamilton, joe frank & reynolds ("don't pull your love out on me, baby" and "baby, baby, fallin' in love, i'm fallin' in love again") recruited me to play drums in his dallas circuit assembly orchestra in the 1970s.

in 1977, i became friends with legendary jazz composer/arranger/band leader benny golson, whose life story appeared in the oct. 8, 1980 awake, and who appeared opposite tom hanks in steven spielberg's "the terminal.

@Roger Kirkpatrick

I found your OP a better than good read without one thought of "bragging".

Unfortunately, some JW's had a rather dull little life. Not always their fault.

Others such as yourself have a very intriging life.

You are sharing interesting facts about famous people. I would not call that bragging or name dropping. You come off as balanced and happily sharing with us, information that none of us would have ever known without you stepping up to the plate, as it were.

Thank you.

In search of custody hearing advice ...

by dubstepped in

i don't have kids, but i recently found that someone with kids that lives in my town is also an ex-jw.

she just happened to post on an apostafest thread on facebook for an event that i attended, saw that we lived in the same place, and i met her for the first time tonight.

pretty cool.. she has a 14 year old boy that is super smart and very articulate.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Since her smart son is only 14 years old, if I was the mom, I would lean heavily on the plea that he wants to go to College or University to study _____. At this age he wants to be involved in ______ to help him get a scholarship towards his goal of becoming ______. Instead of going to meeting and field service he wants to study and be involved in sports or whatever it is he is interested in which is opposite to what his father wants for him. He wants to volunteer at the local Red Cross Blood Bank and that is against his religions rules.

I have no idea what this 14 year old young man would be interested in but two things come to mind that the Judge will think is logical and alright and the JW father who's mind is stunted by WT control will hate it. Being interested in Political Science, and wanting to work for his Congressman or Senator at the local level and eventually the State level. Then telling the Judge that JW's are forbidden to vote or run for office and are forbidden say the Pledge of Alliance. When the National Anthem is played, JW's must sit down and not stand out of respect.

If the young man is interested in sports and tell them that the religion is against competition and that he has never been allowed to play in his neighborhood Little League games or hockey or wrestling or any type of martial arts to learn to protect himself.

JW's don't allow after school curriculum or joining any school clubs. He won't even be allowed to go to his prom or ever date unchaperoned.

If the young man is interested in studying Earth Science and tell them from their own literature that JW's believe mankind has only been alive for just over 6,000 years and that that kind of misinformation, messes with his young mind.

WT is against so called higher education. Any educated person hearing that will instantly know someone is bonkers.

I also strongly suggest, she needs an avocate for herself and her son. She needs a professional of some kind to show up in Court with her. Can she really stand up for herself and her son and be articulate and not crumble under the pressure her husband's attorney will most likely shower her with?

And dubstepped, thank you for having a heart and being a true friend and going out of your way to help some one in need.

Superb must watch video

by berrygerry in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xft_aeqw2ga.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Excellent!

@21 minutes in he starts speaking about JW's.

@34.25 minutes in quoting from the Bodies of Elder letter dated 1 Nov 2016: (Relating to Kingdom Halls) Break-ins, thefts, incidents of arson or other vandalism should be promptly reported to the local authorities.

When they talk about child sexual abuse, WT says they will never change their 2 person rule. If two people didn't see it, there is nothing to report. If the abuser does happen to apologize, the wronged party must accept this and then go home with their abuser... It is all swept under the rug.

But property damage to a BUILDING, should be promptly reported!

A little child, who's innocence is lost, who has been damaged and hurt, deflowered, paralized in fear, doesn't know who to trust, finally speaks up to be told, you must have at least 2 witnesses to this event or it didn't happen and the child is accused of being a liar.

This video's closing remark is: You know there's something wrong when a group that claims divinity, can't even demonstrate humanity.

$2,000 fine for not releasing files?

by Bad_Wolf in

https://international.la-croix.com/news/jehovahs-witness-leader-urges-elders-to-destroy-sex-abuse-records/8188#.

a california court fined only $2,000 to the wt for not releasing records of 775 sex abuse cases?

they should have made the fine 20 million +.

LoisLane looking for Superman

OMG hahaha

Imagine. The WT's dreaded CATHOLICS, reporting in their own newspaper, La Croix International, "The World's Premier Independent Catholic Daily" date line August 1, 2018 written by their International staff for the USA, truth about Jehovah's Witnesses and their cover up of child sexual abuse.

And the dishonest JW.Borg aka WT, the ones that blasted Brooklyn with their sign, Read the Bible daily, are no different than any other religion.

Hypocrites. BUT, The Catholic International daily newspaper, is at least REPORTING this horrid way WT handles perperators and children. Dismiss and deny, deny, deny and then WT continues to beg for MONEY to cover their sorry asses with their on going payouts for their covered up child abuse cases. All the while, JW.Borg aka WT, claims innocence, never happened, all of Satan's lies. JW.Borg aka WT... Who is LYING here??? NOT the Catholics but Jehovah's Witnesses are!!! And who is head of Jehovah's Witnesses??? The GOVERNING BODY. Liars, fakes and cheats! The GB does not care about children. Never has. They don't care about the lying way they coerce the adults into DONATING their hard earned cash to pay for WT's sex abuse cover ups.

WT aka Governing Body you are disgusting filth, hiding in your upstate New York compound, paid for by who? More donations to keep you feeling like intitled elitist's??? Narcissists to the core. Only care about yourselves and your supposed "spot less" image.

Well WT aka Governing Body, the Catholics are reporting on you! Under WT aka GB's rules, shouldn't all of the Governing Body, Legal department, all Circuit Overseers, and who ever else is involved in this sex abuse cover ups... wouldn't that be ALL ELDERS???... should all be disfellowshipped for lying, cheating and obtaining donations under false pretences. They are not building kingdom Halls. They are selling them off!

Watchtower Corporation Hacked By It's Own IT Department

by Brokeback Watchtower in

it's hard for me to think that the watchtower it department must be fully aware of wt duplicity as in they are experts in using the internet and are fully aware of what the internet is saying about their boss.. so why not hack them and make more public their utter bullshit in a humanitarian concern expressed by what ever powers he has to reduce guilt.. as the reputation of the watchtower goes south and more dirt is revealed the more likely it is for those in position of trust like watchtower it department to be forced into a very precarious position of helping a bunch of frauds and so why should it be of any surprise that some type of corrective vengeance is planed by many members of the it..

LoisLane looking for Superman

The WT lawyers get paid. They know NOT to sign a vow of poverty.

The WT IT specialists? Does anyone know any personally?

What perks do they receive? Are they going to IT exotic seminars on WT's dime? Are they getting an extra degree paid for by WT?

Besides being WT elders, what prestiage do they receive that they would want to stay loyal to WT?
