@Akromo

How do you know the letter never existed?

You seem to know a lot about it and seem to post a lot only about this, so i have to ask you what is your relationship to Frank Otuo?

Sounds like a lot of greed going on there and always someone gets stung in that mix.

We had a couple of different people like that too,one ended up an elder, always looking to make a quick buck and not too fussed about how, stepping on anyone in their way and suing anyone unfortunate enough to get on the wrong end of their dealings. They dont garner any sympathy from me.

Frank Otuo is he a con man or are we to support him.

a couple of things first: .

-nothing would bring me more pleasure than seeing wt getting stung in a costly law suite.. - please forgive me but i have only briefly read the court documents.

so this brings me to my question.

Going to meetings to "save face."

going to make this short and sweet but i need some advise again and i kinda need to vent a bit so sorry.😢.

so it has been weeks since the wife and i have been to meetings.

it has been nothing short of wonderful!!!

Witness My Fury

However it can feel too like you're condoning things.

That is exactly what it amounts to, the more people sitting at the meeting the more it stifles those with doubts ability to wake up as they are lulled asleep again with the thought of the "all these people believe it too" mentality.

There will come a point where you cannot stomach being there any longer.

Just to add, by the phrase "been destroyed", I was under the impression you meant that the fraud accusation was proven unfounded, not that the actual letter of accusation had been destroyed.

There is a rather large difference between those two scenarios.

You didnt need to go to a meeting to hand in keys and a book did you? There are always other ways.

If living your life to save face is the aim then you will be forever on that treadmill and never pleasing yourself. Dont do it.

"an unhappy creditor" according to the newspaper, so he was lent money for his business and failed to repay some or all of it. No doubt he would have been given ample opportunity to do so.

How has the allegation of fraud "been destroyed"?

If you have the evidence that that is the case then lets see it please. Otherwise you are asking for leaps of faith.

Not wishing to defend the wts here, but it seems likely to me simply on face value that he was DF'd based on his having taken someone elses money and not paying it back.

Unless there was some other stuff going on that escalated into that situation and he felt he was owed the money he got, then I cant see why someone would accuse him or why the elders would deem sufficient evidence to start a JC and then actually DF him, unless he had actually taken the money.

But hey, I wasnt there, I dont know anything, I'm just saying what it looks like on face value.

So personally, I'd be very wary of jumping in to support someone in this position unless you have inside knowledge of the JC and are pretty damn sure he didnt actually defraud someone.

Any here who didn't rebel as a teenager and were a goody two shoes instead?

when i was a teenager in the borg i was a dyed in the wool, goody two shoes, squeaky clean,"spiritual " sister.

alot of my peers around me were rebelling and going off the rails but not me.

i was constantly praised for this and even felt a little smug about it ha!.

The cult is all about guilt and fear and boy did i have that in spades, I tried my best to be good and hated myself when i wasnt, that's a pretty toxic mix to grow up with and does nothing positive for a person.

I never understood those around me fornicating and living double lives because i was a believer and as such could never have allowed myself to do that. I nearly left the cult in my 20s because i just wanted sex so bad but felt the only way was to quit the cult then go do that, i didnt mainly because i had no way to support myself properly and leave home at the time because that is what i thought it would come to, which looking back now is odd as my dad was not JW, so it was all about my mothers reaction.

Do i regret not doing so, not particularly as there are too many unknowns and variables there to judge. Clubbing and drinking were never my thing, it was just sex.
