Ah well, from the Society's point of view, if the person delayed in reporting it, that may indicate that it wasnt actually rape.

This really highlights their stupidity and ignorance...

You are NOT alone !

this post is mainly for our new forum visitors and members.

perhaps even those who are just lurking or visiting here but have not yet signed up.

maybe you are in the initial stages of researching and finding out the earthshattering and life changing information about the religion that you once held dear and called “the truth”.. it can be a very stressful period of time as you realise that your whole foundation has changed and that the people in your life that you call friends or family may not take kindly to the things you have discovered.

Oh LOLS, so sorry to read about your situation.

Please remember that he is not thinking in his right mind at the moment, and may very well be influenced by the cult mindset. That cult persona is choking out the "real" him.

Be strong in your resolve to be the same kind loving mother to your kids that you have no doubt always been. He will see that, and it may help bring out the "real" him again.

Much love to you

Excellent Netflix Documentary: Deprogrammed

by pale.emperor in

i watched this really interesting documentary on netflix the other day.

it's about a man called ted patrick who became a cult deprogrammer after his son was recruited into a cult in the 1960s.

he basically self taught through trial and error and interviewing many cult members and former-members.. i must say i dont agree with his method, maybe as a last resort but i think it's likely to do more harm than good.

Thanks for sharing PE!
Looks very interesting!

No new releases? How are the r&f taking this?

friends

is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?

if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?

surely they must have noticed the absence?

stuckinarut2

Why bother to release "new" stuff anyway, when it will all become "OLD light" within a few years and obsolete?

So they are just saving the hassles now....

Why do they need a new release when they just had the final video with bearded Jesus riding on clouds wielding a bow and arrow to save them from the hordes of worldly people!?

No time to read new stuff. They have JUST GOT TO BE COURAGEOUS AND HANG ON!

Great replies! Thanks for the input everyone.

I really want those who are newly awakening to know that they are not crazy, and that they are not alone.

And how appropriate that the first three replies came from people that I am proud to call FRIENDS!

Hi everyone!

This post is mainly for our new forum visitors and members. Perhaps even those who are just lurking or visiting here but have not yet signed up. Maybe you are in the initial stages of researching and finding out the earthshattering and life changing information about the religion that you once held dear and called “the truth”.

It can be a very stressful period of time as you realise that your whole foundation has changed and that the people in your life that you call friends or family may not take kindly to the things you have discovered.

We know that these friends will quickly disappear. They will brandish us as mentally diseased apostates, they will speak ill about us behind our backs, and the friendships we thought were loyal and reliable will no longer exist.

But please be reassured that things do indeed get better! The circle of friends that I have made since waking up to the truth about the truth is amazing. The people I now call friends are genuine, sincere, and reliable people. And these are people from all over the world!

I am truly grateful for this network of friends. We keep in touch via social media, forums, and direct messages. We can all be there to support one another through the good days and bad. Not all of our conversations have to talk about a religious background - sure that has brought us together but that does not define our relationships.

Unconditional friendships and support does exist!

So if you are new here, or struggling in some way please be assured that you have genuine support and genuine friends to understand the situation you’re in and truly get what you are going through❤️

New Shunned VIDcast #3 - Comparing Ourselves To Others

by dubstepped in

just released a new vidcast on the youtubes for "shunned" about comparing ourselves to others.

you have to at least watch the first 30 seconds for my sweet sweet new theme music.. in this vidcast i drop a sweet new theme song, followed by a serious discussion of how we view ourselves and our stories after leaving the cult of jehovah's witnesses.

comparison isn't typically healthy, and i discuss how it goes awry and how we can help give proper weight to our experiences.. subscribe to my podcast here, on itunes, google play, your podcast app of choice, and/or visit my site at http://shunnedpodcast.com for more information.. https://youtu.be/qo0n69vme-o.
