Dungbeetle....Thank you for the moving words. They allow us to picture the event as though we were there ourselves. They also so effectively describe the WTS men as the bullying cowards they are who enforce rules they do not abide by themselves.
I share your dream, dungbeetle....
I have a dream. And in that dream I see a sign across the face of the Watchtower building. Instead of saying Watchtower it says For Sale.
.... because that dream frees the family members so many of us have. The fulfillment of that dream sees my family once again united as families should be....not divided because men want to protect their positions and control.
My hat's off to all of you who stood up to your abusers with your testimonies and those of you who supported them by walking beside them.
Thanks for sharing that with us Dung...and thanks to you too Teejay...great stuff. Wish I was there with you Dung...I was in spirit. Hugs to everyone there.
Very moving post D.B. ... I felt like I was there. Although I've never been a dub, I've learned a lot from you 'guys' on this board....and whether one was a JW or not, most everyone can feel for the pain of an abused, innocent child.
Thanks for your well formed words that brought the march to life.
WOW! Being there...........reading that.............. brought it all back to life for me. Nice job.
It also reminded me of the few people my age (30 or younger) who were looking out the windows on the left building, not the 25th one. Looking at us with these haughty grins of, "look at these worldly people, (thoughts of us being destroyed at Armageddon)."
I know exactly what they were thinking because I have been there myself. I can't even put into words how I felt seeing them mocking me with their facial expressions. I just stared up blankly. That's how almost every JW thinks of anyone but their own. They KNOW they are right and YOU are wrong and there is nothing that's going to change that. I guess I felt a little helpless because of that.
I've always been drawn to your posts. Hope you are well. -- Detective
Funny you should say that, Detective. At times I have had the same thought about Dungbeetle (I've always hated that user name, though).
She reminds me of Guinan on Star Trek - Next Gen: always knew just a little.... bit... more.... than erra body else, in a way that was unsettling but comforting at the same time.
