Hi, SS. There is an article in the Tennessean newspaper about Kelsey and that would be a good place to start. Maybe Snoozy can post the link here for you.

I went through an intense month with Kelsey over the telephone when Jon got sick. No one could have been playing games about the things he was going through. We sometimes talked several times in one day. Not only did he have to come to grips with losing his only son, his ex-wife (who is a jw) and all the elders were treating him like shit and his mother was being evicted from a jw property, a property that had been promised to her until she died.

Picture this: you, an apostate, are in the hospital, surrounded by elders and your ex-wife and daughter. Your son is in a coma (with ugly blood marks all over his body and blackened arms, hands, feet and legs) and not expected to live. You show kindness to everyone, even bringing coffee to all of them. Your daughter is getting ready to leave the hospital and she goes around the room, hugging her mother and every one of the elders. She comes to you and shakes your hand. How do you feel?

Why would anyone make up a story like this? I heard the anger, dread and shaking in his voice, the disgust at the elders and his ex. It was not a joke. It was not a lie. I completely believe him, because I came to know him very well before, during and after these things were happening to him. What will it take, Jon's medical records? And, maybe the elders from Mr. Bowen's congregation will post here so everyone can believe that Kelsey doesn't know any of them.

clearly there is a lot of hate still lingering among many exjw's.

my coming to these boards about a year ago was an intersting and a growing experience.

i have learned a lot and it has helped me to feel even better about my decision to leave the wt.

Snoozy, there is no point in doing this to Kelsey, Kenpo or me. You are under enough pressure with your husband right now. How do you know that it is to you that I am referring? Why are you bringing this up here? I was telling Kelsey about the bad experiences that I've had. Period.

Dear Kelsey, I am glad for this past week. I was able to completely overcome the anger I felt toward you. I still care about you and I wish you the best.

For over a year I have been posting on exjw boards. I've met some very wonderful people. I have also been attacked and lied about and hurt so much worse than any time during 30 years as a jw. When AlanF made that cavalier remark about Jonathon, I thought, o my god, if someone had said something like that to me regarding my son's leukemia, I don't think I could have endured it. I found it to be extremely painful even though it was directed at you. But, I have been falsely accused, lied about and subtly harrassed continually by a certain poster, so I feel I can empathize with you on all counts. I can't tell you how much I am hurting at this moment thinking of the bad things that have caused me pain over the past year.

You said in another thread that you can walk away and still have a life. That has been my goal since all the madness started. There are so many good things about coming to these sites, so many genuinely kind and caring people, but there are also people who seem to live for the attack. I have stayed because I haven't given up on the human race yet. But, I find myself wondering, why do I want to subject myself to so much mistrust and evil?

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know that, although we've been at it at times, I am glad to have met you and wish you the very best that life can offer you. My love to Jonathon.

do they still make family movies?

it look like things that get produced these days by holyywood filled with f word, sex, violence, drug use and hurling.

no movies hardly to take your kids to or that a christian can watch.

Well, here's another 'prophecy' that hasn't come true. Another example of a sweet movie is Parenthood with Steve Martin.

alanf posted in another thread: .

"i want to put the board on notice that this "kelsey007" person is a jw in good standing (possibly even several jws posting under the same handle) and is on this board only to stir up trouble.

take a close look at his posts.

AlanF said: Kelsey worked with the elders in Bill Bowen's congregation to Bill's disadvantage.

Would you mind elaborating on this or do we all need to be people that you know and trust?
