Did You Know They Left?

There are many people who have left the Messianic movement and returned to real Judaism. However, it is hard to tell this by the Jews for Jesus website. They still have articles and stories on their website written on, or about, people who have long since left the Messianic movement.

For instance, you can still find Ellen Kamentsky on their website. Ellen is well-known for having written the book "Hawking God: A Young Jewish Woman's Ordeal in Jews for Jesus", in which she rips the dishonest practices of Jews for Jesus. This book was written back in 1993! You would figure that after more than a decade and a half of having left the movement, Jews for Jesus would remove information on her from their website but they have not.

The same can be said about Jeff Neckenoff. Jews for Jesus still has articles on Jeff Neckenoff on their site yet he has been out of the Messianic movement for many years and runs a counter-missionary website, www.bethgoyim.com

You would figure that after someone left the Messianic movement (and are working quite hard against the Messianic movement) that Jews for Jesus would take them off their website. It would be logical to do so, but Jews for Jesus has not taken this logical step.

So funny.
Jeff Neckonoff here.
I actually contacted David Brickner of Jews for Jesus, politely asking him to remove my "ancient" testimony from their site.
He bluntly told me "no way".

What a jerk, as it's the best testimony I have of being involved in the "messy" movement, and now it gives me tons of credibility with messies looking to break free.

Thanks "Idiot Mostly Not-Jews for Jesus".

Oh, by the way, while the "bethgoyimn.com" will take you to the same site as the links below, I now use http://www.JewsforGod.com and http://www.JewsforHashem.com" instead.
