I wasn't planning on making any comments on this thread, but I feel that some of you have spoken harshly and perhaps judged Bibleexaminer , questioning why he is still going in field service after 16 years of knowing the truth of this religion.
I will say that every situation is unique. I applaud those that have been able to cut ties with this cult and have never looked back. But for some, the family dynamics is so complex, that cutting ties poses a hardship on family members.
I know this firsthand because Bibleexaminer is my husband. It's been extremely tough for him keeping up with the charades. It's been tough for both of us. We are both keeping up the facade for my family. I can't go into details, suffice it to say that my family depends on us. Our leaving and severing ties would create a huge hardship for them. We have managed to go unnoticed.We do as little as we can. Yes we go in service, not often,but its so easy to fake it. Most of the times, dubs in our area will do 2-3 calls and then out for breakfast or lunch.
Only once in a while, something happens that is hard to swallow. The situation that BE spoke about in his OP was quite disturbing for him. It made him physically sick.
Lost generation said:
so bible Examiner you are the savior we all need to praise because you
stay in "undercover" and can name drop unlike the rest of us.. Or maybe
we simply choose not to name drop and enjoy our freedom day after day,
while you go out in field service on your Saturday mornings
No lost generation BE doesn't need to be praised. But the reasons he stays "undercover" are very noble. If you only knew how much. As to the name dropping, everything he said is the truth. I am proud to say that he is a very effective apostate.
