  I remember when my mother-in-law died, we cleaned out her house and I dumped everything. She was in the French congregation.

  I was in 4 different congregations. First 2 in NYC, I got along with great. They were mostly Bethelites. The last 2 were in Jersey. The 3rd one the Presiding Overseer hated me with a passion . He ruled by fear, the other elders and Servants were afraid of him. I wasn't, I spoke my mind while the others were all "yes men". In the end he still hated me but he respected me, because he knew I would tell him to his face how I felt.

  Rumors were circulating that I was an apostate. Someone was writing letters to everyone, and mailing out literature, Franz' book. I was like, "you think I'm gonna waste my money mailing out books to people who will just toss it away?"

  One time we were having an elders meeting, and he just lost it, he charged at me, tried to get his hands around my throat, took 3 other elders to restrain him, I just sat there with a smirk on my face. In the end, I handed in my resignation from the body, kicked the bookstudy out of my house, and a month or so later I left the congregation, for another one, that lasted 6 months before I just disappeared, never went back. Before I stepped down, I went into the file cabinet and took my files. That was 30+ years ago.

  I was locked out of my old account, but I was one of the "founding" members. Lots of fun over 20 years ago.

  Are You Starting To Feel Bad About Being A Racist??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.

  so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??

  Yeah, I get reminded all the time on social media how much of a racist I am. Boggles my mind how people can assume that without knowing me.

  I remind them that I'm a minority, that I was married to a black woman for 25 years, and half 2 Haitian/Puerto Rican kids. That I'm currently married to a Native / Irish woman. But it don't matter. They'll believe what they want to believe.
