Anybody remember the Little Rascal show (I'm giving my age away)? If you do, you will remember the He Man, Woman haters club. lol Maybe that is what the ring is, he is part of the He Man Woman Haters Club. My spouse and I joke about that all the time. lol

If anything, WT sure knows how to spin things to make it look like, "rich blessings from Jehovah."
If most rank and file members were told that the "kool aid will refresh you and bring blessings from Jah", they would drink it up in record time.
This is what cults do best!!!

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!
by dubstepped inmy dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

Disfellowshiped- reinstated- damaged
by Damaged indon’t know how i ended up here but no one who understands will listen, or any one who will listen doesn’t understand.
i grew up in the “truth”, i was baptised at 17 as it was encouraged by the elders.
i really didn’t understand what i was getting into.

Welcome Damaged.
How do you start re building your life? First off, stay away from WT. They are the last source you need to rely on.
You have had a lot going on in your life. Like cofty said, what makes YOU happy? Is it education, your career, traveling? Do the things that you enjoy. Make good financial and life decisions.
I think every time you made a choice in life that you were taught was wrong, you went running to the Elders. This is what we are taught to do. We had a friend that went to the Elders with some confessions. He thought that the Elders were going to help him (you know..."grease your head with oil"). Instead, he got DF'd . How the hell is shunning someone going to help that person?
I guess the best advise is find what makes you happy in life and go for it.
We were always taught that if you leave Jehovah (aka, the organization), you will be miserable. We have been out for over 5 years. BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE!! So happy without the hypocritical, judgmental and arrogant JW's.
Keep us posted on your progress.

We have been out for the past 5 years and it is so good to hear that the Borg is in decline and the young ones are wising up and leaving. With all of the publicity WT is receiving, who the heck would want to become a JW? Who the hell wants to join a fruity cult? lol

Question about JW finance
by Gorbatchov inwatched the jw finance video's.. they have sold all brooklyn landmarks.
bilions.
they are selling other property maybe up to 3000 units worldwide.. so, there is going something wrong.... there must be a giant money leak.

Gorbatchov - You make a great point! What happened to the billions made from the NY sales?
Did the have equity loans against these assets that had to be paid back to the investors upon sale?
They could have been using up the equity as a piggy bank for decades to supplement less donations?
This could be one reason they did not have a large windfall of cash after the sales. They used up their equity over the years?
Remember, the end was coming...no need to pay it back!
i hope soon, a Bethel insider in the know will reveal the real facts.

We continue to be amazed at how family still holds onto, "the end is just around the corner." They refuse to change their circumstances so we have to stand by as they all "wait on Jah." Ugh!!!!
