.:FRANK M – Crescendo com familiares membros Testemunhas de Jeov\u00e1 que eram ped\u00f3filos, ele n\u00e3o podia esperar deixar esta religi\u00e3o<\/strong><\/p>\n Crescendo numa perversa fam\u00edlia de ped\u00f3filos, a inf\u00e2ncia de Frank como Testemunha de Jeov\u00e1 foi repleta de abuso sexual e confus\u00e3o espiritual. Enquanto crian\u00e7a, Frank tinha sonhos de estar agradando Jeov\u00e1 e governando com Cristo, mas estes sonhos foram rapidamente silenciados pela rejei\u00e7\u00e3o de seu pai e a hipocrisia religiosa que experimentou nas Testemunhas de Jeov\u00e1. Aos dezanove anos, Frank n\u00e3o aguentou mais e deixou a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o. Embora o percurso espiritual de Frank ainda n\u00e3o esteja longe de estar completo, ele est\u00e1 feliz de estar livre dos ditames da opress\u00e3o religiosa nas Testemunhas de Jeov\u00e1.<\/p>\n I was born into a Roman Catholic family\u2014a perverse family who were nothing but pedophiles.\u00a0 At the ripe old age of six, two Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses came to my door and started converting my mom to their religion.\u00a0 Given the super strong personality that she was, once she believed, she quickly converted my dad and us children.\u00a0 At the same time that I was being converted into the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, I was also being converted into a pedophile\u2019s victim.\u00a0 My Uncle John started molesting me at age nine.<\/p>\n Talk about confusion!\u00a0 On one hand, you have these people telling you that you cannot have sex until you are married, and then on the other hand, you have a trusted godfather who was touching you in those very places that you were being told you couldn\u2019t even touch yourself.\u00a0 Our conversion had begun; there was no turning back now.<\/p>\n The Christmas of my ninth year was the last we celebrated, and it was the saddest.\u00a0 My oldest sister was thirteen when our path to \u201cthe Truth\u201d (Watchtower organization) was started.\u00a0 The youngest sibling was only three.\u00a0 The five of us were like obedient little soldiers in Jehovah\u2019s army, and we did exactly as we were told\u2014even to the point of alienating my grandmother who was there for us from the beginning.\u00a0 I started knocking on doors when I was ten, and I loved every minute of it.\u00a0 I thought I was doing God\u2019s work by spreading \u201cthe Truth\u201d to all who would listen. Those who didn\u2019t, I felt sorry for.\u00a0 I figured they would learn the hard way what it was like to anger the only true God.<\/p>\n By the time I was eleven, I was giving talks in the Kingdom Hall.\u00a0 I was so proud of myself and so was my mom.\u00a0 Around the time I was thirteen, I was convinced that I was so blessed by Jehovah that I believed I was one of the \u201canointed\u201d (a member of the 144,000 \u201cheavenly class\u201d of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses).\u00a0 I thought I was going to sit in Heaven as a judge with Christ.\u00a0 \u201cWow! The disillusionment of a child who doesn\u2019t know any better,\u201d the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses thought.\u00a0 That dream was crushed in a hurry.<\/p>\n Over the next year, I was instructed very intensely so I could get baptized. This happened when I was fourteen.\u00a0 By that time, all four of us older siblings were baptized.\u00a0 The first one out of the organization was my sister.\u00a0 She was disfellowshipped when I was sixteen, and I was out by the time I was seventeen. But since my mom was so strong in her beliefs, I went back until I was nineteen.\u00a0 By then, I\u2019d had enough.\u00a0 I wanted out and away from those hypocrites and my dad.\u00a0 I should tell you that my dad told me that he never wanted a son. So, I wanted to give him his wish.\u00a0 I was now free to live my life to the fullest, without the condemnation of my father.\u00a0 At first, my mom tried to shun me, but it was too hard for her not to talk to me.\u00a0 She eventually caved in and talked to all of us.\u00a0 Her family, her children, always came first, although she did stay very strong in her Jehovah\u2019s Witness faith until her death in November of 2007.<\/p>\n Leaving the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses was the best thing I ever did.\u00a0 I can now feel guilt-free in doing whatever I want and not be depressed by telling the people we meet along the way that they are going to die at Armageddon for not listening to our translation of the Bible.\u00a0 Since leaving this religion, I have come across many of my old friends that are now also out of this religion as well.\u00a0 It is so great to re-unite with friends that had stopped talking to me, but who now seen the error of their ways.\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s my story. \u00a0Thanks for reading it, and may Jehovah bless each and every one of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" .:FRANK M – Crescendo com familiares membros Testemunhas de Jeov\u00e1 que eram ped\u00f3filos, ele n\u00e3o podia esperar deixar esta religi\u00e3o Crescendo numa perversa fam\u00edlia de ped\u00f3filos, a inf\u00e2ncia de Frank como Testemunha de Jeov\u00e1 foi repleta de abuso sexual e confus\u00e3o espiritual.
