Fear mongoring, lack of love, lack of truth, feeling of running in a circle for the rest of my life just for starters.

One day the straw that broke the camels back, the rule that was one too many, the thought of dealing with accusations that were not even founded, when I realized I would have to face committee meetings because of being set up. Because of their lack of love when asking for help only months earlier, I knew they would believe and judge me and I realized for the first time how much I really had allowed them to control my life. And I decided I wasn't going to give anyone that power any more. So I decided never to go back. Have not doubted that decision for a second and every day find more reasons to know I made the right choice and the light of disollutionment/brainwashing/control, etc only gets brighter and more obvious every day.

Lack of love seems to be a really common complaint. I am interested is this mainly on the part of the elders (who should know better?) of the publishers as a whole. Or is it filtering down fro high up?

I was a young teenager when mom and dad left........if there was one thing I had to pick it would be the lack of respect young adults recieved..We were considered brainless,and not a valuble human to society....IMO.....

Yes, to your question, pete.
Lack of love from the elders, lack of love from the other people at the KH, lack of love from the CO & DO; and not just a single incident but a pervasive atmosphere of uncaring. There were a few individuals who refused to be like the others, but in many cases they were then treated unlovingly. Actions speak louder than words.

You can't MAKE people love. Either a person is a loving individual or is not. You can FEEL love. You KNOW when someone loves you. You can't train or legislate love.
