After being inactive for about 4 years or so, some elders decided I was a piece of crap. Why? Because I had a hold of my step-sons shoulder and he twisted and it left a mark about half the size of my thumb on his shoulder. The next day, at book study with his Mom, he was spirited away by his aunt and the elders and another "sister." Of course, he had already told them that I beat him the night before. They took pictures and everything of this minute mark. Then, "brother dickwad" called and requested a meeting bwteen him and I and the step family the next Saturday.
Before the meeting, tho, step-son approached the school officials about this same mark since the elders didn't immediately remove me from the house. His counselor told him to go back to class as there was no mark evident on his shoulder. This was the very next day.
"Brother dickwad" showed up Saturday as planned, with "brother assinine." I was busy in the other room. They waited some 10 or 15 minutes for me to come in the room before turning to the wife and ask her if it were okay to open with prayer. Immediately, I let them know that I was the head of the house and although inactive, I was still the head. Even if DF'd, I was still the head and those sort of questions are to be directed to me, as per Watchtower teachings. Of course, this set the tone for their little game. This so-called meeting was nothing more than an effort to ellicit an angry response out of me over anything they could so they would be able to trump up grounds to DF me. In time, it worked. I blew up and physically ejected them from my house.
I immediately got of a letter of complaint to the Watchtower. In about two weeks, I received a poorly typed copy of a letter informing me that a judicial committe had been convened in my honor as I was "prone to wrath." Of course, both "brother dickwad" and "brother assinine" were sitting on said committee. This letter was even certified.
I got out my Watchtower CD, the elders manual I copied from the web and researched both. I then wrote and mailed a three page letter back to "brother dickwad" explaining from the watchtower itself why his committee was in violation of both the Bible and the Watchtower literature. I closed by telling them I refused to attend said meeting. I never heard anything back. Probably becuase I threatened legal action if they continued in their harrassment of me.
Almost a year later, I just got sick and tired of the whole mess and wrote them a letter of disassociation. Mostly to remove their ability to continue harrassing me.
Today, step-son ran away and is living with his prim and proper JW aunt. She is about to go nuts dealing with him. Her husband and mother-in-law, also dubs, want him gone, but really like the state assistance they are receiving in the form of money. Money, by the , which they wanted me to pay. Since I am not the blood father of these brats, the State of Washington says I have no child support commitment. They took the wife to court and have assessed her $10 a month support. The kid regrets running away, but that is his problem. If he learns no other way, he will now learn that once you make your bed, you have to lie in it!
While other KHs turn a blind eye to abuse, the hall I used to attend manufactures it where they can to get rid of those they don't personally like.
Where else but a Kingdom Hall can one find such love? (sarcasm)
If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?
