One thing the flock book says, is that if a person is willing to meet with a judicial committee thus in effect admitting accountability to the WTS then this should be considered. So I decided that I was acountable only to Jehovah.

Well, what the book say is one thing, what the letters from the service department do say is quite another matter. Let me give you an example of what actually happened when my wife and I decided to leave the Watchtower.

I had been investigating different things for quite a while, and found there was no love, no honesty inside the organization. They lied about what they had taught before, and they denied hard facts. When I started asking questions about these things it was, to say it the least, not popular.

When I was reading on the Watchtower study, and the article actually said a human was not thinking with the brain, but to the contrary with the heart, I told the preceding overseer that this was simply not the fact. Maybe he did – but normal people didn’t. Do you think he was happy? Not at all.

After a while, I decided I didn’t want to be a Jehovah’s Witness any more, and I informed the elders in my congregation about my decision. I also told them why, but it would be too far fetched to go through all this here and now.

I told them that they did not need to bother calling me for a committee meting, since I would simply ignore them. I was out, and that was that.

My wife to be gave them the same instructions. She just left, and she did not plan to come to a meeting explaining anything to them. She just left, like I did.

I never heard a word. Absolutely nothing, and I never heard what actions the Watchtower had made. And, I admit, I didn’t care either. But after a few months my wife to be got a letter saying she had to meet before a judgemental committee at a certain date. The letter, naturally, went to the place it belonged – in the waste bin.

Then, after about 14 days, she got another letter, stating she HAD to come. Those morons seemed to believe we cared what authority they believed themselves to have. The letter went the same way as the first one.

After another 14 days or 3 weeks, a new letter arrived. Stating the following:

Since she had not met for a the judgemental committee, they found it most correct to disfellowship her!

Absolutely hilarious. What happened to the 2 or 3 witnesses? I can’t remember to ever having invited some of the elders to our bedroom, or any other JWs for that matter. As a matter of fact, we worked both for a sales company, and was traveling around Norway together with around 5 – 10 others, staying in hotels, mostly.

So what is the moral here? If there is a child molester in the congregation, they are extremely anxious to have the 2 or 3 witnesses. If the person do not admit his actions, nobody can do nothing, the Watchtower says. And naturally, 2 people that leave the crackpot-club because they don’t feel like going around as hypocrites no more are extremely more dangerous than child molesters and rapists.

Of course, that is the truth too. Because a child molester won’t tell anyone about his actions, while we could. Without shame, and without fear of anyone knowing the truth about why we left. And we did not fear anyone to know the facts, while the Watchtower did.

The moral in this is simple. The more hypocritical leaders, the more hypocritical “mini-leaders”, and the more hypocritical, the more arrogant they are too.

The funny thing is that the people that were so anxious to tell everyone what dangerous guy I was because I took girls to the movie, or maybe listened to some music they didn’t like, had their own peculiarities. Like the elder that proposed wife swapping with some friends of mine after a study (my friend didn’t like the idea, and terminated the study), or the presiding overseer that disconnected his speedometer to avoid paying the insurance for his car.

Or the ones going away every now and then to be drunk as bats where nobody could see them. Maybe I should post a picture of a guy, now some hotshot, from a party, together with some female JWs. Cute pioneer sisters. When you see this guy, with makeup all over him and 666 written on his forehead, I’m sure everyone understand why I was such a danger to the flock. LOL

As a matter of fact, I feel the spirit inside the congregation is really bad. The JWs go to their meetings, and everyone looks happy. When they return home, they look sad again. Until they have to go to a new meeting – where everyone is happy again.

Did anyone wonder if this happiness might come from small pills? In the congregations I have been in, and that’s about 5 of them during the years, an extremely high number of both male and female members used different kinds of pills. To relax, to sleep, to stand the pressure. And why is that so?

Just asking, and I have to say – both my wife and I are extremely happy we don’t need to fear what we say anymore. We don’t need to ask some old fools what we can or can not do. We are simply free, and we never had it any better than just now.

It just makes me so incredibly sad when I see people on H2O, trying desperately to defend something they deep down KNOW is just nonsense. Clinging to it, as if their lives depended on it. When the truth is their life depends on getting rid of that dependency of humans and human made organizations.

I really hope for all of you, my friends, still trapped behind the Wall – that you one day will dare to open your eyes. Dare to look at what you are actually doing. Dare to take your own choises, living your own lives!

The fact is – nobody else can live it for you – and the sooner you recognizes that fact, the sooner you can be full human beings.

But. Life is short – and it would be a shame being 65 years before you see the light. It’s much fun you can’t do anymore, and most of your lives will be spilled on the altar of a bloodthirsty and money-hungry sect-

Regards

Kent
