During the past month, I have watched and listened carefully at all things WOFF.
I wondered if my absence providing current blogs since mid August would be conspicuous.
It was.
In previous blogs I have mentioned that I monitor all traffic, the visible and the intentionally invisible, to see who is accessing this blog. My regulars were just that, visiting the site regularly to glean from the invaluable links that I have gathered over time and, presumably, visits to other less visited blogs written here since July '11. During that time, I found people from many interesting places have come here: England, Germany, Brazil, Russia, Africa, Name any Scandinavian country, Japan, France, Southeast Asia, Australia and almost EVERY state in the U.S.
The Brazil and Scandinavian countries are noteworthy because WOFF ministries have extended their reach to these places for some time now. But the regularity of visits here are telling, because they too, have questions, or doubts, or seek information, just like folks here in the U.S.
Many of you have been looking for newer, fresher blogs. Thank you for continuing to visit this site.
I CAN tell you that the "Letter to Jane" was a major hit. It is up there with the blogs"Document Everything" , "Never Underestimate the Power..."and "Let's tell Leadership..." with the highest hits and traffic.
So, I am still here. I don't plan on going anywhere.
I have surmised that the two blogs connecting WOFF people, that is, families of members, and members themselves, and those contemplating joining WOFF, come here, and to religiouscultsinfo.com for ANY information, analysis, rants, comparisons, etc.
Let me say that the "rants" almost ALWAYS originate here, as I have said before that my aim is to get in WOFF's face and call them out.
While leadership at WOFF publicly, or even among themselves, wish to think that WOFFWATCHER is just a rant blog packed with lies, I know from chatter that they are unsettled by my calling them out, but more so the concern is that there is other work involved in bringing WOFF down.
John Huddle's religiouscultsinfo inside view to the world of WOFF and culture is heartbreaking and jaw dropping. His personal accounts are compelling. His analysis and comparisons are top notch. I learn something every time I read John's blog. His blog is must read for everyone with WOFF concerns.
WOFFWATCHER, on the other hand, is like the kid in school who just won't put up with bullies, questions the system, and creates awareness when the air is foul.
Just so you know, I WAS that kid in school. When I reached 6th grade, my father was horrified to learn how I handled bullies without ever having to confront them again, through High School.
The WOFFWATCHER blog has made conclusions and comparisons viewed by some people as "reaching" or "out in left field", and that perspective is respected however I have to consider most of those views come from those not familiar with the culture or government or social perspective in which I am well versed. And I am glad it is LEFT field!
My lessons, comparisons and such, are perhaps asking the reader to be proactive.
This is why I believe that lessons aren't enough. They make my point, they may inspire, but the person needs out, the family needing answers, the interested person researching WOFF...is just reading.
My blogs are calls to action. They are intended as intellectual ammunition against those who would scoff at the very idea you might be questioning them.
"Just Say No" also works here WOFF members, when they tell you to do something that you question.
The thing I don't understand is when WOFF leadership tells you to go stand in the corner, go to the fourth building, give up your phone and so on...is that you meekly just agree to their punishment or treatment of you.
HAVE SOME GUTS PEOPLE! Stand up to these lying, pretentious, charlatans and take charge of your own life.
REMEMBER THESE AND KEEP STORED IN YOUR HEAD...YOU WILL NEED THEM.....
USE WHEN NECESSARY
ENOUGH
NO
WHY?
THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
BACK IT UP WITH PROOF
ACTIONS

CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN DETAINED
CALL THE POLICE IF YOU HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED
CALL THE POLICE IF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR PROPERTY CONFISCATED
CALL AN ATTORNEY IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN SLANDERED

I have said time and time again, that people approach opposition, particularly in the case of confronting WOFF leadership, are too nice about it, thinking that it would be civilized to do so. However, WOFF leadership is anything but civil when confronted with the truth, or questions, or just saying no.
You can't fight this way. You can't solve the problem this way. They sure won't.
And, if you are among those that believe that "going down to their level" is beneath you, or not in your format, you need to rethink that. Everyone that is "high minded" like this, loses. I know from experience.You must fight every battle at the level it comes for the opposition knows the message loud and clear. They have to know that you understand their position, make them understand YOURS , in their language.
So, Let me start....
Woffwatcher says:
They are lying to you.
I am here to help you, not to lie to you, and certainly not to hurt you or your family. They see me as someone trying to destroy them. They have already done that job much better than I ever could. I don't kike how they treat people. I don't like how they keep secrets. I don't like how they collect and spend your money. They are wrong. Jane is not Perfect.If you think that this loud, thorn in their side is just a rant blog, think again.
Yes, I am giving you ideas and perspective. Yes, I am inspiring you to stand up for yourself. Yes, I have a vested interest because I have family there.
I believe I have lesson-ed you and myself to exhaustion. So, future blogs will contain more calls to action, more like: "in your face". Hopefully more useful ways of confronting them and ideas on who to contact when they step out of line.
WOFF has a long trail of mistakes ready made for someone to blow the whistle. The sad part, WOFF doesn't think they've done anything wrong.
And I am not pinning my hopes on this blog ranting, or just providing links, or hoping YOU will take it upon yourself to turn them in to a government agency,etc.,WOFFWATCHER continues to be proactive until this mess is done.
