I knew it was coming as it had been advertised on TV. I just thought to myself, I hope that my father doesnt get wind of it. If he sees this no good will come of it, so i never mentioned a word to him. Unfortunately I also had a JW relative staying, who has a habit of sticking his beak where it isnt wanted. I was hoping that he was also unaware of it airing as well. So last night as usual we said good night, and we both had a smile on our face.
With this experience I couldnt help but think of the games I play. On the one hand nothing would bring me more satisfaction to see WT go down in a blaze of legal fire. But on the other hand i find myself having to hide the truth from him. For his sake i hope Wt holds on long enough to out last him. I also hope that they dont start asset stripping and selling off KH. His social circle is there and it occupies his time. He also has little idea of how to work a computer and always has difficulty logging into the meetings. In some ways carry on with zoom meetings is really unfair to him and to others in a similar situation.
The response i am probably going get here will be "would he be so inclined to return the courtesy if I was the one disfellowshiped". In all likleness the answer would probably be "no he wouldn't". I'm not here trying to play down the impact of CSA or the impact of it to those victims. it just trying to balance everything at the point of equilibrium.
