I want my donations back! (page 2)

Hortenzie

Aunt Fancy - I feel for you...

I just found out that the donations I can prove add up to $4 080. That's for the last 4 years. I didn't claim it on the Income tax before that...

Nathan is not being negative, he is trying to shock you out of this attempt. Your best play in life, is to not waste time fighting. If you are really interested in seeing if that is a possibility, you will need to consult a lawyer......which will cost money.....and I do not believe you can be succesful.

See, there is something we all have to acknowledge about ourselves and others. Ina very real way, we are ALWAYS in control of what we do. Your former religion did not FORCE you to give them money. You decided to. Now you can claim they lied to you, or decieved you, and more......but it was still your free choice to give them money, go to the Kingom Hall, and more. You DECIDED to do those things. The reasons why are immaterial in a court of law, although of course they mean something very serious to us as individuals.

My personal advise, is that since you can't get the 15 years or $ back.....that you make the next 15 years your best ones! :)

Go for it you may set a precedent. I personally do not think they will reply any correspondence, but keep us informed. I want my donations back too. Kate xx

Problemaddict - If they told me the truth about the organization I would not give them my money. If I knew that they vote to make decisions and it is not the holy spirit who leads them as they claim, that would be a start. I have no personal experience of god and I had to take their word for it. Yes, that possibly makes me stupid but they lied, knowingly and willfuly.

Since when has anyone known of satan returning anything he stole?

You might as well forget it.

Satan's spiritual ark is full of attorneys who know how to drag things out until you die.

I would definitely not approach this without legal advice. No point in losing more money. Those still attending but mentally out, just vote with your pocketbook/wallet.

Hortenzie,

I understand the pain and frustration. We all do. You are not stupid.

Lets however play this out. The GB STILL BELIEVES they are being ran by holy spirit. In a philosophical manner follow me here. You now percieve a different truth than they do, so you are saying you were lied to. They however actually believe their "voting" is by the guidance of the holy spirit. So what you are calling willfull deception, they would disagree with.

You have to take this new truth, and build a life. You gave your money to a religious charity. You regret it. That sucks, but too bad. People encouraging you to give it a try are showing support and that is great. I am telling you, you are responsible for your own actions. Take responsability......build a better life! That is the best revenge.

I have no personal experience of god and I had to take their word for it.

No.......no you did not. You and all of us at one time...DECIDED to take their word for it. Now we have decided against it. Let it go. Get happy!

Honesty - I don't think I want to sue them. I might just call them up and ask for it. I want to stress to them that they always think they are the righteous ones so they should do the right thing and give me my money back. I also want to inform them that they are NOT a beneficiary on my life insurance any longer.

Hi Hortenzie, Go for it!!

After you write/call the WTBTS asking for your money back, you can write to Canada's equivalent of the US Treasury Department and your political representatives to inform them of how the WTBTS treated you. Laws are more likely to be changed when constituents inform their political representatives of their experiences and potential solutions.

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

Robert
