Never really bought into their belief system re/blood, holidays like the hard liners and attended several weddings and a special church service or two with my in-laws in other churches the short time I was around WT crazy. I'd seen/experienced such evil with the cult members within a month that I didn't trust much of anything - thankfully!

33WT Teaching That You Can't Leave Behind
by jhine inafter posting on another thread it became apparent to me that it can be difficult for some ex jws to totally shake off all wt teaching , even after leaving the org.
do you still feel guilty going into a church for a wedding or a funeral .
can you bring yourself to celebrate birthdays or christmas .

mrquik - so sorry re/your oldest daughter/grandchildren. It's hard to believe a con game of religion has the power to do this. I'm glad you at least have another daughter - I'm not trying to undermine your situation.
Keep care!

Zalkin Law Firm flooded with calls from ex-JWs
by Roger Kirkpatrick inyesterday, i posted a question for a friend in texas as to whom he should contact to report sexual abuse from the 1960s by a jw pioneer/elder who is now deceased.
(incidentally, there are plenty of people who are still alive and in the organization who were very aware of the circumstances and who can be summoned to give testimony regarding these accusations.
) so, my friend called the zalkin law firm.

YEP - I hear ya - the slithering snakes will continue to skate and evil prevails - always. I gave up hope moons ago but hopeful hall/property closures/sales will carry on and at least substantial shrinkage. Wish they'd implode as a religion without harm to the adherents. I have empathy for the elderly caught up in the fraud.

I've heard of professionals being offered nice packages to take up life with the cult - all their debt paid off, etc., and I'm sure the nice homes are part of the deal depending how bad they need someone.

Sounds like Zalkin has already had staff increases - WOW! WT lawyers losing their digs (London) and San Diego real estate soaring because of Zalkin. It's like when the original MGM Grand caught on fire in LV -- the big hitter personal injury lawyer counted multi millions in a day and had to lease extra buildings/offices and hire floors of lawyers/staff. Unreal!
I'm so happy the exJWs - PIMOs/whatever have Zalkin to turn to. This is beautiful!
Zalkin's earnings will make law school tuition look like chunk change.

Nice digs - is Cook also in private practice or work for WT? I think the majority of WT legal (house counsel team) might have a hard time swimming out there in the real world with the competition. Many can't cut it right out of law school and realize they better find another career. There's always politics -- lol. Guess they'd lose their religion and free board & rent in one fell swoop.
