Letter to my sons, why I left WT -- 1975 and lies were reasons

by FatFreek 2005 in

several months ago i wrote a letter to two of my sons, still jw.

the letter is 41 years belated.

i am now 78 years old so this was a bucket list item.

If you sent by regular mail, it was probably intercepted by Gxxx's wife. I hope you sent by certified. We've not spoke to G in a long time. I think Allen holds over that family. And G don't want to rock the boat till kids are over 18. He has too much to lose if he wakes up. They were watching him for apostasy a year or so. After that we've lost touch since we are shunned again by family for a second time. Been a year now since I've seen my grandkids. And G don't come around hubs work like he use to...no I take that back, wasn't long ago he came in and hubs kinda ignored him. Just waved and walked into the back for employees only. They'd been friends for so long but we've seen how fast they'll drop you for the bs. We used to get some gossip here and there, but we've been cut off from everyone.

I wish they wake up. Even if they are awake, G will hide it. Hubs mentioned family to G awhile back. Saying how losing a parent would make you wish you'd spent more time with them...G just agreed but it didn't seem to get it. Hubs tried.

Yup, I think CO visits will be replaced by video feeds. Think of all the money they would save.

my husband ran interference. I left first, cold turkey. Because of reading "what to expect when leaving", I'd given him the heads up as to what to tell when they call or came by his place of work. Depression, leaving it in Jah's hands, etc. He never went back either. I think ours was a fade without a fade. I read info online and within that day I knew it wasn't the truth. I was mad. We had 2 adult children still in, about 3 of them were out before us. (have to say on a side note, we've notice they, the last 2 are missing meetings more now. Not asking just supporting what ever they need from us)

I'm glad hubs kept them off.

What are your new year's resolutions?

by rebel8 in

jw

do you have any?

Angus Beef

Lose all that weight I was suppose to lose in the NewSystem, lol.

Start paying our bills and get out of debt because that NewSystem was suppose to wipe out my debt. lol.

Become more involved in charities and events, like participating in a walk-a-thon,

Buying a car that doesn't hold 7 people. And a color that I like! lol.

Finally tossing out the last few pieces of meeting clothes still hanging in my closet.

I've only been "out" for a year. So there's a few things I'd like to do now that my mind has been totally freed from the bullshit.

I'm waiting to see how things work with my still "in" JW family members. If they don't wake up by next December, I'll be writing a DA letter on a Christmas card to the BOE. I can't force them to wake up, but I'm just saying I'll take the shunning etc because I won't live by their rules anymore. I love my freedom that I've gained this year... 2015 is really gonna be fun~!

i've been having health problems for the last few years and instead of any help, i'm listed as spiritually weak and of course associations is only my kids and husband.

all the good jw's have moved to other congregations and are doing well.

I realized that this post was a year ago come the 10th of Dec. Amazing how much you learn over a years time. How green I was... just wanted to say thank you for all those who post and how much it's helped. A year... wow... it went by fast.

It's a nursing home for all the aging DOs & their wives. When they give them their exiting cash, they can turn it over for a room and WT can collect any social security checks, it's a money making idea.

of course Im being silly.

My Open Letter to the WTS

by braincleaned in

today, i was pissed.

so i wrote an official open letter to the borg.

i'm posting it everywhere i can.. .

Angus Beef

^ I agree, after the first sentence it will be tossed. That's why I'm not writing a d'a letter. I know nothing I'd write would go farther then maybe the first 2 lines. I know they are evil and we know they are evil, telling them they are... ah not so much. they think and always will think they are the right hand of god. sometimes getting it out on paper is mentaly helpful. But well written anyway.

Protect the elderly

by defender of truth in

this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

Angus Beef

DOT, I'm glad you're bringing this out, I haven't seen a KM in 6 to 8 months.

in my experience, nursing homes rarely let church groups proselytize. most are choir groups to sing to residents or children groups coming in to visit etc. There's always an assorted church group that visits. If there's a resident that has a family "preacher" they will visit that resident. But to have a group come in for bible studies, from who I know that has been an administator at health care facilities, they just don't allow it. It can upset families who are not of that faith. but children singing, piano playing, sing-a-longs, christmas programs etc, they don't mind. Call and ask a nursing home if you can do a bible study in the dining room after lunch and see what responce you will get, probably a big no.

I hope this is an epic fail for most who try.
