Mr. Williston was raised in a twentieth-century new religious group and has experienced first-hand the benefits that come with living in such a group. But in the early 2000’s, because of his conflict of conscience and widespread false and maligning rumors by the ministry, he separated himself from the group. The traumatic choice affected his family, friendships, career, and health – such that his life since then has been a gratifying recovery from that betrayal.
About me
Bob Williston grew up in Miramichi, New Brunswick, and has lived in four provinces of Canada and three states of the United States. He is a graduate of the University of New Brunswick and has pursued extensive post-graduate studies at Université Laval, Boston University and College of Southern Nevada. He had a forty-year career as a teacher of French, English Second Language, American History, and Political Science; with a break to serve in the Nevada State Senate as Secretary to the Senate Finance Committee. He finished his career with five years of teaching Character Development at a middle school for troubled adolescents.
Bob Williston, raised in a mellow fundamentalist Christian sect, spoke out in defense of egregiously abused members of the group. That resulted in years of false accusations, harassment, and ostracization; and subsequently failed health, a lost career, and separation from a lifetime social support system.
When he organized a small group of personal friends to gather for a vacation near his home in Nevada, the clergy across the continent warned friends not to attend because what he was organizing, they claimed, was an unconvention for people excommunicated from the church. Even relatives were asked to sign agreements to disassociate themselves from his efforts. He considers that the betrayal of his lifetime.
