It will happen. The momentum will build.
As I mentioned, I don't see us all as "victims", but rather as "survivors". However a day like this does give strength to those who need it.
So I think it is a good thing.

The Assembly Hall for our region was a focus this year. It has Regional Conventions held at it every Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
It was rather appropriate that the sign for "Be Courageous" was present!

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 !
by stuckinarut2 inthis 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 ini 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.

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

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.
