  Hi there,

  I'm looking for the Spanish version of Steven Hassan's book Combatting Cult Mind Control. MY mom is on the verge of "leaving' the JW's for good. She's in a new City, has a non-JW fiancee, & isn't attending meetings.

  It's the 'perfect' time for her to read this book. My JW family has been trying to convince her to the the KH in the new city & 'confess' to the elders if she has done anything wrong.

  I spoke to her & told her not to go to the elders.

  Amazon doesn't have it. I also e-mailed the publisher but I haven't heard from them yet.

  My e-mail is open.

  WTS have their own Will forms for JW's

  has anyone seen the jw will form?

  i was asked last year, when i was attending meetings by an elders' wife, if i had already done my "will" & if i hadn't the elders would provide me with a blank wts will form for me.. at the moment i thought to myself, my life insurance is for my daughter not the wts.

  so i never talked to the elders about it.. when i was reminded if i had gotten my 'will form' from the elders i simply told the sister i don't have any assets just bills.

  Mulan,

  The apostofest looked like lots of fun. I had to work. I have a summer job. I'm trying to save money for graduate school this fall. (I hope not to hijack my own thread). Count me in for your next apostofest. I live about 70 miles north of you in Blaine, WA. Can I adopt your family as mine? I have a 9 year old who misses our JW family lots & I need to replace them for her emotional well being. I'll e-mail you my home tel. #. My e-mail is also open.

  I've always felt guilty for not attending meetings, service & so on. Now I'm starting to feel lots better. I like the portion where it says that if I had been informed completely I would have never joined. I was only 8 when my grandmother gave a JW the okay to study with me the 'great teacher book' eventhough my grandma was & is a Catholic. I guess it gave her some 'rest' time from me. I love my grandma so much that I would never hold it against her.

  I don't remember my catholic background. I only remember celebrating x-mas once when I was 6 in 1977 & my birthday cake that was given to me by a non-JW for my 8th birthday & how I thought she was trying to break 'my new faith on Jehovah'. I remeber feeling SO guilty for having to blow out the candles.

  I was saddened to read how I was 'robbed' of true identity from age 8 to now (31). It is so true. I have so much 'trouble' trusting people. In addition with my divorce to a JW, (going on 10 years divorced next march) I can't 'trust' any man. I'm so afraid.

  I also agree on how JW's are indoctrinated to 'self destruct' if you leave. That is so Horrible & wicked. & it's true that any legitimate organization lets it's members decided if they no longer want to be a member & lets them walk away.

  I did like the idea of thinking about the positive aspects once you leave. I learned a 2nd language fluently. I gained public speaking skills how to dress professionally. It also saved me from using drugs, alchohol, getting into gangs, partying, sex & so on.

  I'm soooo happy that I survived & that now I can think for myself and make my own decisions.

  Hi everyone,

  I'd like to know how many of you have read this book? I just finished reading it. It took me less than three days. I just couldn't put it down.

  I can't believe the similarities between the moonies & the JW's and also the 'lingo' (language) they speak.

  I'll start reading Steve's other book "Releasing the bonds; Encouraging people to think for themselves." I also starting reading Ray Franz's Crises of Conscience.

  Does anyone know if Steve Hassan's books have been translated into Spanish?

  Let me know. My e-mail is open.
