When I saw this topic and read thru it, I made myself stop and think for a minute. I put all the bitterness and anger I have aside, or at least, as much as I could. I cannot think of one good thing that came out of the WBTS.
People talk about learning how to do public speaking. That is also something you learn in school. We were not taught social skills. Independent thinking is discouraged. They cause dysfunctional families, that cause dysfunctional people. Their enviroment causes depression and other mental illness to bloom.
There's nothing wrong with cleaning offices and doing windows, but their elders are not trained in any way to handle any specific problem. They only know how to quote scriptures and close in prayer. Depression and other mental illnesses are like any other illness, like diabetes or heart disease. They need medical attention from medical professionals. Not addressing them, only makes them worsen. Hence, the dominoe effect. I'm not even going to touch the blood issue.
And what about the breeding ground for child molestors they foster? Nothing is done for the victim. Therefore, the victim sinks into a shell. Falls into that "dominoe" effect. I know for myself, for many years, couldn't understand why I could not have a real relationship. I sabatoge every one of them, and still do. The pain would never stop. It was/is like I'm in a tornado, that never touches down.
They stole many years from me and my family. I feel they have stolen my "real" mom from me, and left me with a shell of a person. They have protected my stepdad, who molested me. All they have done is take from me, till there is nothing left.
But, thankfully, I'm done with letting them take. I choose now to fight them, with every ounce I have left.
Can u hear me WBTS, I can't really do much alone, but together we can. And we are coming for YOU!!
