  the remarkable sister pettifog.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.

  this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .

  Terry, I loved that! It did make me think some of my grandfather Elijah. Yes, his name was Elijah. He was born in 1885 and was a follower of CT Russell. All I ever knew about him was that he was considered an apostate and that he was somehow into 'spiritism' He died of TB in 1966 and it was the only time I saw my grandmother cry. Mind you, I loved my grandma dearly. My JW aunts used to tell me how they would cross the street when they saw him and later, my only non JW aunt blamed him for bringing the scourge of the JW religion into our family. I mostly just wish I could have known him and talked to him.

  Terry, I'm sorry to hear that Johnny shunned you even though he never shunned his DF/DA'd sons.

  __________________
  
  It wasn't until the last four years he shunned me completely and only then because he was caught and exposed. I have heard--but don't know for certain--it was one of his sons that outed him.
  
  Being one of the good old boys I'm sure he was let off with a warning. However, I do know one thing for a fact. When he was caught he lied his ass off.
  I think he should have at least stood up for himself in some small way but they obviously had him cowed. A rather sorry ending for his life, in my opinion.

  Terry, do you think and read about anything else but Jehovahs Witnesses?

  __________
  
  It probably seems that way.

  The answer is this, I write every day and about an hour of that is devoted to JW material. The other 7 hours are completely unrelated. This place here filters out most but not all the other stuff.

  I recently posted some Hollywood memories and also an occasional short fiction story.

  She seemed to believe the promise of heaven was not affected by the incompetence of the so-called Organization.

  My friend Johnny felt the same way. He once told me that the Organization's leaders "had a lot to answer for" but that their malfeasance would--in the long run--be straightened out by Jehovah.

  A Forensic Investigation disproving Watchtower’s self-made MYTH

  by TerryWalstrom in

  a forensic investigation disproving watchtower’s self-made myth(chosen by jehovah as the only true religion on earth).

  [ it all began when joseph rutherford removed four members of the watch tower society board of directors under a legal technicality that equally applied to himself, and then authorized the writing and publication of the book "the finished mystery" contrary to pastor russell's will, the society's official charter, and without approval of the board, and then falsely advertising the book to the public as the "posthumous work of pastor russell".

  I've always wondered if any Jew at any moment in history dared to try and pronounce the "sacred name" other than the High Priest on the Day of Atonement.

  I mean, why would they?

  Oppostate: What I find interesting is that you were very upfront with her--you didn't try to mislead her into some sort of 'poztate trap. You told her exactly what your experience had been and your estimation of the WT religion being a "cult".

  I was just thinking about that Asian lady and wondering what ripples I made in her pond and if the experience was more that of triggered panic/fear or of curiosity and investigation. There is no way to know.
  
  We plant seeds. However, we aren't around to see what develops. It could be years before doubt, anxiety, and dissonance reach critical mass.

  Maddening. It is simply maddening.
