The natural response here is, "let's give the victims some space, so they can stabilize."

Instead, there's a herd of obsessive, psychotic people who migrated from a religion that called down fire upon gossiping while having the most gossip-riddled religion on the planet.

I get it... the religion with a vulture complex and ambulance-chasing spirituality ingrained a sense of reward in running about standing next to worse people so that one doesn't have to put forth any real work to be better.

And if a wife and child get's traumatized, so what?

"How about giving them some space."

"I'M CALLING OUT INFIDELITY"

That's a lie. You're gossiping for clout because in #JW world, gossiping was currency and how women leveled the playing field in a misogynistic faith where they will never be in control.

This exJW (or she might not be, there's some confusion because everyone LIES) met me in Austin, Texas, I spent less than 10 minutes with her and had to stop her.

"I don't gossip," I told her.

Like the faith that spawned her, "no" doesn't mean "no," so she continued.

I had to stop her again.

"I'm UNCOMFORTABLE with gossiping."

It didn't register to her. I haven't seen this woman in 10 years and her entire diatribe was a constant flow of people I knew, what they look like, and some horrible offense they did... one after another.

It was at that moment I realized that I have progressed to being a better human being (YEAH ME!) but that there was a toxic comfort in degrading people that stems from a religion that doesn't do anything but stand around and explain how awful everyone else is.

The Australian Royal Commission highlighted this. The only thing you're supposed to do after finding a harmed child is call the police and SECURE THE VICTIM.

Nothing else is important, yet there are all these rules and caveats that prevent the very simple "give them some space."

YES, my dealings with QAnon have jaded a few things in my faith in humanity, but there is an impeccable "tell" there's a hidden agenda when the logical way to help the true victim is abandoned for a different solution that a group of people happen to be passionate about.

So today it's @cedarsjwsurvey, but months back it was @davidmweissman going through the same fucking thing.

And of course the "I want to help you, why don't you try THIS SIMPLE ACT OF HUMANITY" tactic is met with swarming, targeted harassment, spamming, hate, and mania.

Well okay then.

OBVIOUSLY, what's more important is that everyone gets their gossip fix, run to a bleeding animal, STEP ON THEIR WIFE AND CHILD to broadcast for 3 days straight how much better you are than them.

And call it "activism."

"Calling it out."

"Bringing awareness."

"Give them some space" is controversial to those with an agenda that goes contrary to the organic flow of humanity.

I'm so interested in why this doesn't happen in #exmormon circles. LDS has similar ambulance-chasing spirituality, but my guess is the ingrained gossip hypocrisy.

I walked away from the entire ex-JW scene for a different reason more directly related to QAnon. I did't want to.

On Reddit or with the defunct Jehovah's Witness Recovery . com, weird people pop up to "take control" of the situation, "to lead the way."

Anyone here want to actually "lead the way?"

Release Watchtower documents. Show connections between WBTS and third party trolls. Relay the info you have on private meetings. Remember this Reddit post in 2016?

THIS IS ACTIVISM.

When I left exJW world, everyone was laughing at the guy who would go to Kingdom Halls and hijack the meeting when commented.

It's gross. Invading a safe space is wrong.

If one feels comfortable invading a church for YouTube views, one can invade a church with a bomb.

I was laughed off. Plenty of "🤡"

Do I need to give a list of churches/mosques/synagogues that have been attacked since 2016?

If you want to be an activist, then act like it.

If you want to take the worst parts of humanity & repackage it to your benefit, then just admit you're a terrible person & you want money to be terrible to others.

Activism is measured by the joy of movement, NOT BY MUD THROWN.

"Give them some space."

To everyone who replies with "LET ME TELL YOU WHY I CAN'T..." you're a POMI - Physically Out, Mentally In.

Vulture-circling, piranha mentality, gossiping, and lack of self-control with ZERO respect for a mom and her children...

We are not equals.
