Hi all
I will try to keep it as short as possible. so if it seems abrupt sorry, or if any questions do ask n I will fill you in.
Update to the news of 5 people leaving(2 couples n a single sis).
They have been in touch with my PIMI friends( the ones who shared their news with me). In conversation my name came up.
One couple who have been very involved in spiritual activities .They are a nice couple from what little I know about them.They had moved around quite a bit in need greater too so they have come in contact with lots of Boe's, Co's, r n f; n experience with them which goes without saying.
Long story short while moving about to different places, they heard about the CSA lawsuits. Did not believe it at first as one normally does.
Hears it a couple more times, wherever he heard it, imquired with one of the elders who straight off said there is nothing to it . just lies to reproach jehoover.
He lets it be but it continues to nag him but he does not know what to do ie how to check it out! (when you are in a cult, everythign becomes an uphill struggle if you are going against the current).
With time, he forgets it. But one day when he was visiting another cong with regard to RBC, since it was a Saturday, he n his wife decide to join the field ministry group. On the field he meets a guy who first listens to them n then asks them if he knows about the CSA n questions them about our policies. The couple take the opportunity to satisfy thier lingering doubts to be substantiated with evience. Sure enough this guy gives them links n also show them a few videos on youtube about ARC. This disturbed them deeply n they thought of doing more research when they get home. Sure enough they did, the more they did,the more they felt disturbed, upset n anxious.
Ultimately they approache a couple of Co's separately n asked about this.They both said "dont pay too much attention to it, it has got nothing to do with you. Sometimes things happen , it is all being dealt with by the society".
This was their exit-ticket. They approached the local boe for answers but as usual they showed the finger . Then on they immersed themselves more into researching n have been looking at the links given to them by the guy they met on the ministry.
They want to meet up at another convenient tiem to get the low down for my waking up n all.
By the way this couple just in passing told me that the other close couple-friend of theirs who also left coz there were some individual incidents in the way that they was treated (people not living up to bible basic standards, lying afterwards outrightly, being openly dishonest,) that led them towards finally researching those aspects, but in the end it really was as simple as: they believed a lie, they stopped believing the lie, started accepting proven facts.
This is all I have for now.
