  Not Too Bad A Cult.... In Comparison To Others. Let's Talk About Cults.

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i saw an episode of a day talk show the other day in which they interviewed these two women that were part of a polygamous cult in utah.

  the cult was referred to as 'the order'.. men married many young wives, and these were expected/forced to breed in large numbers.

  these women worked for the cult.

  Oh My Gosh JustTickeledPink, that is terrible, it turns my stomach.

  Anyhow, i suppose that their are groups out that here that are more extreme then others, it has always been that way and will always be that way. It seems like they are trying to out-do eachother with different ways of control.
  This doesnt make the wts less of cult, it just shows how much more sneaky and organised they can be. Harboring pedophiles is something i consider sneaky, they try and tip toe around the laws of the land, and that is something they are guilty of controlling.

  Just my 2 cents on the issue.

  I didnt get to watch it, i got hooked on it the first 2 years. Anyhow, seeing as i dont have a life either, i checked out the pictures on American Idol's website and looked through the pictures. I FOUND HER, i think anyway. I cant zoom in enough to see the title of the book, but it sure looks like the old hardback version of the NWT. I dont know how to post the picture on here, so if someone wants i can email it, just pm me.

  Yes, a dub on american idol.. whats next!?!

  missy, im sorry you are having a tough time. Just remember that in a few weeks, it will all come second nature to you. I know that does not help you right now, but the point is that learning this job will come to you, it normally takes a person 2 weeks to learn a new job, plus you have not been given that much time to learn your job. Just hang in there sweetie, i know its hard. I have changed jobs a few times, and it is always overwhelming.
  Dont be afraid to speak up and make sure that the other girl knows that she does not intimidate you, even if you are not intimidated, she might be trying to.
  I dont know if i made sense, but all in all, i know you will be good at this job, you have such a sweet personality that shines through on this board.

  which is worse.....?

  by undercover in

  from time to time some of you post letters/emails, etc that you receive from family/friends urging you to come back to the "truth", jehovah, whatever.

  even though the intentions of the sender is misguided, it is apparent that they must have some affection or feeling for you to bother to send the letter.

  others get no letters, no calls, no inquiries.

  hmmm, that is a difficult question. I suppose it would be better to know that you are not forgotton and that people that are out there thinking of you, rather than always wondering if you were ever loved.
  Yes, i think its better to be thought of (even if it is with witness literature and letters) than to not be thought of at all.
  It wont make one feel so alone in the world.
  
  Just my take on it. I have been out of the org for over 5 years now, and not one elder to call or come to see how i was doing.

  wow gina, that is wonderful news. i cant wait to hear how this develops, i know how difficult it can be to try and talk to your parents about something this complex and hoping they will listen. I am sure you will be hearing from them soon, as you probably did put some doubt in their minds,hopefully they will read through it all and take it to heart. You should be so proud of yourself for having the strength to go through with this.
