Maple Bacon Makes God Angry

I'm on a social networking site for ex-Jehovah's Witnesses.

Below is an email I got from someone, presumably no longer a Witness, who had this to say:

"Hello ****,

Crowds of Jehovah’ s Witnesses around the world are finding freedom. Please forward this message or mail by courier to your fellow Jehovah’s Witnesses.

(Hebrews 10:24,25 ) “ And let us consider one another to incite 
to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of 
ourselves together--”. Have you ever remarked that these 
scriptures do not say anything about teaching or instructing? 
That’s because such is the work of God’s Holy Spirit. Each 
person should be led by the Holy Spirit not by man. It’s easy 
to shift this responsibility to an organization that claims to 
fulfill all our spiritual need, but is it without cost? There 
is a high cost to pay when we allow someone else to strip away 
our rights to be curious and to question the status quo. Here 
is a classic example: I vividly recall the brothers encouraging 
the congregation to keep a firm grasp on the promise of 
everlasting life by attending all five meetings a week, these 
meetings were described as the firm grip of five fingers. It 
was explained this way to stress how vital attendance at each 
meeting was. For many, many decades the meeting schedule we all 
complied with was – the five meetings which took place during 
three days of every week. How often a church or congregation 
meets for worship whether once a week or more is of man’s 
design but not a mandate from Jehovah/Yah. Now attendance is 
required two days a week for four meetings but not a question 
is raised neither is one allowed. All in attendance simply 
look forward to the next time the number of meetings are 
decreased and they anticipate the next reduction of pioneer 
hours (ministry hours) to shout for joy. The Israelites came 
together on the Sabbath to hear the reading of the Law. 
However, originally the weekly Sabbath day was observed inside 
of the private home. ( Exodus 16: 29) “ Keep sitting each one 
in his own place. Let nobody go out from his locality on the 
seventh day ”. Each of us have a complete copy of the Bible in 
our home, thereby our spiritual need can be met with the 
guidance of God’s Holy Spirit. It’s time we act responsibly and 
have our freedom back. 

I used to believe that great organization skills, the name Jehovah and God’s kingdom were unique of this one true religion until I did my own research. For a long time I was a contented full time pioneer in this organization but at the same time I was in a desperate situation because of poor health. It was by avoiding certain foods as I described in my letters I experienced what is spoken of at ( 1Corinthians 3:16). “ Do you not know that you people are God’s temple, and that the spirit of God dwells in you?” God is holy, he requires a clean temple to dwell in. This scripture applies to everybody not just a governing body or circuit overseers. By the way, the governing body and the circuit overseers eat and condone the eating of pork and everything else that are scavengers. These creatures are inherently unclean, unclean is not just a label in the old testament. The light of God’s Holy Spirit set me free from following men and guided me to the truth in the word of God. I am not a member of any particular clan, it is love that motivates me to furnish this explanation. Through various biblical teaching methodologies multitudes have already discontinued attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall. Please do not shut me out because I am speaking truth.

Agape,

M***** P****

P.S. for a simple, never heard before explanation about Babylon 
the great, just contact me."

First of all, "by courier?" Is this 1937?

Second of all, I suppose recovery takes all forms. I can respect that. Below is my response:

"Hello M*****,
I hope that your recovery from the Witnesses is progressing nicely. It sounds like you're open to exploring different things and for that I applaud you. In my humble opionion, anyone who makes it out of a cult like that is fortunate as long as they continue growing and avoid getting caught up in other cult-like groups or mental manipulation. Have you read "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steve Hassan?
Its an excellent read. There are so many great books out there that deal with exiting from the Witnesses. As they say, "the
world is your oyster now," although it sounds like you may
have some issues of personal conscience consuming said oyster.
Speaking of, I wouldn't shut you out for your speaking YOUR truth. Kudos. But it sounds like your truth is different
than mine, and that's okay too. I personally enjoy frying up a
bunch of maple flavored bacon on Sunday mornings (although it does make the house smell like a maple syrup bottle for about a week). Bacon-wrapped dates, stuffed pork chops, shrimp anything-- well, you get the picture-- it all tastes so amazingly good and I'm thankful to whatever God, divine consciousness or spark of evolutionary coincidence that
brought it all here.
All kidding aside, I hope you find whatever it is you're
meant to find on this wonderful journey called life. Stay open,
stay free and enjoy this beautiful day free from the oppression
of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
Wishing you truth, love, and bacony-goodness—"
Lastly, Babylon The Great, unless it can be summed up concisely in the same space used to publish a Tweet, interests me about as much as the inner workings of a maple bacon processing plant.

AGAPE.
