Momcrazy I never had you down for AnnSummers parties! Just shows how you never can tell!

momzcrazy

No, I don't even think lace trim is allowed. But they look cool wet!

What he's trying to say is that you Momz do sex toy parties...

Yes, because we trusted in what they had to say. It's only when one has been well and truly enmeshed does one realise what a great con it is - and by then it's a really risky business trying to get out if you don't want to lose any family.

You only have to read the staggering amount of posts here to realise being conned has nothing to do with intelligence. We believed it because we are caring, loving people and we wanted to help our fellow man. The fact that we were conned is not our fault.

As you say, leaving the cult makes us completely free to really live.

Love,

This is what they control:

Sex life. It isn't bad enough that they say no to premarital sex. adultery, homosexuality, incest, and bestiality (though evidently pedophilia, as long as it is done by abusing a position of authority, is OK). They have laws pertaining to what married couples are allowed to do behind closed doors. Masturbation, and any toys that facilitate it, are banned. Porn is obviously a no-no. They even control behavior that has a tiny potential to lead to fornication, like offering rides to people of the opposite sex when the person is not likely to actually commit fornication. Some congregations even disallow teenagers to leave the auditorium while a member of the opposite sex, particularly another teenager, is also outside. (Yet pedophilia is OK, if done to control the child or the parents, as long as there isn't a second witness).

What you wear. Notice that, a while back, you had to wear a white dress shirt and tie if you were a "brother". Sisters had to wear skirts that were a certain length, often one that was not readily available. Shoes, ties, belts, watches, glasses (remember the wire-rimmed glasses issue), and other accessories also had to fit their requirements. The top collar button had to be done at all times, even in hot muggy weather.

The car you drove. It had to be clean and in good running order (and yet they had a stroke if you took time out of field circus to clean or repair it). It had to be 4 door. Never mind the retired couple that would like to travel alone, for which an economical 2-door coupe would be more practical.

Your time. Those blocks of time reserved for boasting sessions could not be moved. You had to squeeze work and sleep around them. Any time you had a nice large block of free time, it was for field circus (I noticed that immediately. Before going in, I looked forward to those large blocks of contiguous time. Once I was in, I had to do field circus whenever that happened and was left only with fragmented time where I could not readily do field circus until the next time they met. It also meant I had to be with the group at 1:00 PM.

What you can do for work. If your job required putting up Christmas lights, selling lottery tickets or cigarettes, singing "Happy Birthday", using a weapon, or gambling, there was always some hassle. And, if you work in the entertainment business, Brother Hounder is going to try to force you out of it (unless you have a contract that has several years left and was signed before becoming a Witless, and there is no way to break the contract and take the penalty). Many decent jobs were also banned because they had some potential to involve national defense.

School. College is now out. And, now they are frowning on nursery school (look for more in upcoming Puketower Kool-Aid editions). Children have to stay up way past their reasonable bedtimes for boasting sessions twice a week, including one where tests are popular the next day.

Your associations. Anyone that was once a Witless is off limits. Those in the world are, too, except to bring them into the cult. You aren't even supposed to have any feelings of love toward them, except as a lost life if they do not come in. Even among the "friends", there are many a reason to not do much with them. They can also stop you from meeting anyone of the opposite sex at their whim.

Your entertainment. Music is strongly censored. Such innocuous acts as Journey were condemned by the idiot that I studied with. They strongly condemn Led Zeppelin, which is quite innocuous. Michael Jackson is obviously condemned, since he is disassociated (even though Off The Wall and Thriller were done before he did that, they didn't want me to keep those LPs that I already paid for or listen to it because it supported him). Movies and TV are also censored, and those PG ratings can stand for Pure Garbage. (Yet they are allowed to make children view graphic pictures of mass destruction as reality.)

What you have in your own home. Things not directly associated with holidays or other religions are potentially stumbling to others if they have even tenuous links to them. You can get disfellowshipped for displaying a snowman or snowflake decorations, because some idiots might think of them as Christmas decorations. Likewise, I saw someone hounded to get rid of fuzzy dice decorations because they stumbled someone. Candy that is in holiday editions, candy canes, eggnog, turkey, and other foods that are associated with holidays are potential stumbling blocks for which the hounders look deeply for. I once had the hounders look for Cadbury Creme Eggs, which I had inconspicously placed in my shopping basket, because they might stumble someone for Easter (the eggs were not for Easter celebration--I ended up eating them into July and even later that year).

What you have for a home. Too expensive, and you should be spending more time in field circus and more money into the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund. But, if it looks like a dump because you now can't spare the time to fix it without dropping out of pioneering, you get hounded for the shame and reproach it brings on Jehovah's name. Try suspending pioneering for the time needed to fix it, and Brother Hounder is going to tell you that you should have fixed it without spending any time doing so.

I am sure there are many more. Look for further articles and items in upcoming Kool-Aid Puketowers. Plus, I am sure more will be released at the Grand Boasting Sessions ahead.

being conned has nothing to do with intelligence.

I am counting on that. I am still feeling like a dope.

I heard the woman's garb is crotchless. Any truth to that?
