33. Truth and Consequences

Now, keep this in mind. Debbie was not punished for having sex with me before marriage and getting pregnant. She was punished for MARRYING me, for marrying outside the religion, for marrying an infidel. If she had decided not to marry me, have a bastard child, be a "bebbimama" and me be the "bebbidaddy", she would not have been punished so. This is why I have a grudge against the Jehovah's Witnesses. The right thing to do was to get married, give the boy a name, and build a family. And she was punished for it. I hate hypocracy.

After Debbie and I told her parents she was pregnant, she had to go before the Elders of her congregation to decide her punishment for having "sinned against Jehovah". Her congregation was in Beacon, New York. As an "unbeliever", I had to wait in the parking lot while she was on trial for having loved me and giving herself to me. After about an hour, she returned, sat quietly in the car for a few minutes, and began to weep profusely. She was "disfellowed" for one year. This is the quivalent of being shunned. She could not participate in any Kingdom Hall activities, and none of her friends were allowed to speak to her. Technically, even her parents were supposed to shun her, but they did not go that far.

I demanded to know what happened. (work in progress; more to come)

A little harsh weren't they I'm sure God himself wouldn't have banned her if she came humble seeking forgiveness.. So who are they to ban her like they are free of sin and all holy...phony behind people.
