Time to piss some people off
So I was 28
My girlfriend, my brother and I were at Dads house, bored af
We spot Jehovah Witnesses walking through the yard from the neighbors house
My GF sez Jerry I dare you to answer the door naked
Game on MOTHERFUCKERS!
They hide on the metal spiral staircase to the basement as I answer the door in all my glory
I look all paranoid, scratching my arm and face and very accusatory say, HEY MAN, YA SEEN MY GOAT!
The younger guy who is clearly uncomfortable quickly retreats to the far end of the deck
The older guy smiles and starts talking about the kingdom of Jehovah
My partners I'm crime start banging around and shaking the metal staircase
Old dude asks me if we can pray
I'm like, sure, whatever, but have you seen my goat?
Dude actually touched my hand
All of a sudden my GF screams GET BACK IN YOUR FUCKING CAGE
as my brother brutally begins to smack his hands together and begs PLEASE DON'T HURT ME I'M SORRY MASTER I'LL BEHAVE
Old guy stops praying and gives me a stern look
I took his hand and said Won't you join us for tea?
I've never seen a Jehovah Witness run until that day
They must've thought we were a strange Cult and Jehovah was testing their will to turn away from temptation and damnation
Sick thing is, while we were praying together and holding hands, I noticed his rapidly arising erection
His trousers and facial expressions told a much different story than the words coming out of his mouth
Fuckin pervert
He was kind enough to drop a Watchtower as he fled the scene
At the time I had a very slender build and long wavy locks that reached midway down my back
So I imagine after they left the fucker either tried to seduce the younger Witness, or found the nearest public restroom to rub one out
You're welcome
So what's the moral of the story?
Was it wrong of me? Did I behave inappropriately?
You betcha
But the fucker took the bait and proved our point
1 Don't trust Cult Members who show up uninvited
2 If you're in a position of power ie Pastor or Elder don't use your message as an opening to get laid, that's Abuse
Now this isn't a #MeToo moment cause I instigated the whole thing
Truth be told I've had a few #MeToo moments, some of which I'll never disclose and others are a story for another day when I'm feeling brave and bold like the countless women and men who've come forward
I will say this. If that fucker was so hot and bothered over me and was ready to abuse his influence as an Elder...how many Young Men, Women or Children has he corrupted or abused in a Kingdom Hall basement or storage room, or a car ride?
Wolves in Sheep's clothing walk among us every day
They're Predators
They prey on vulnerabilities, they're opportunists
Clergy, CPS, Boy Scouts, Boy's & Girl's Club, Coaches, Teachers, Counselors, Janitors, Law Enforcement, City Hall, Governors Mansions, Capital Hill, UN
When you grow up (if I may borrow a line from @marilynmanson I Am)
"The Pedophile's Dream"
and spend your adult life advocating for victims, you can smell a pedo a mile away. It's like Where's Waldo, but easier
A 6th Sense/Super Power
Every walk, every supermarket, bodega, laundromat, park, library, public transit line, church
You can spot every Predator and every victim
They wear it on their face and the way they walk
Tragedy of it all.. you can't intercede in most cases
@rosemcgowan wanna add anything to this?
While you can't intercede you can give other victims a Compassionate look, let them know that you know and they're not alone
Sometimes you just tell them their lives matter and life can be better
Sometimes you might make a difference
And the Predators?
Hunt the hunter
Taunt, tease, intimidate them
Catch em off guard and they realize they're not in control, they expose their true nature, they become the victim because you're in their head- free real estate
They'll always wonder what you know, if you told
They live in constant fear of what's coming next
just like their victims
Long after you're gone, you still own that free real estate
I'm not saying this to Trigger anyone
This is to Empower anyone who reads this thread and knows all too real what I'm talking about
This is to let all of you know that you're not alone
If you don't have a support system in place please find one. And know there are people who care
That's all I really have to say for now. Any women or men affected by this evil, just know that you are beautiful, you, your life matters & there are people all over the world who care
You're a survivor
Like they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
