i have recently gotten myself out of the org.
after 2.5 yrs.
of research about the org.
Southern Belle,
Welcome. Your bravery is impressive. I hope that your family will come around and begin to speak to you once the shock has worn off. You are so right about the weight being lifted. Even with the all of the bad things that happen, it really is worth it.
Again welcome to the board. There are a lot of kind people here and it is always nice to have another join us.

i guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.
I wish that you were just joking and that you really had a wonderful childhood.
Your story is truly heartbreaking and I hope through the telling of it you heal some.
Hugs,
Sheri
...and other lies men have told women.. men: what lies have you told women?.
women: what lies have you been told... and believed?.
The worst lie I was ever told was by 12 different men:
You are going to live forever in a paradise earth.
I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

i had the sneaky suspicion the girl in the picture below was a dub.
she had never drank, smoked or watched a rated r movie.
she was married at a young age and just seemed too wholesome.
Yeah,
We had the suspicion but then she is from Utah. So, she could be Mormon. Hope that she isn't a witness. That would just really be disgusting.
What did you think of the girl from Oregon, she sang Amazing Grace?

well, using his terminology ex-jw's would be called supressive persons- sp's .
hurry before it gets blocked by the lawyers.. http://gawker.com/5002269/the-cruise-indoctrination-video-scientology-tried-to-suppress.
Watched this video earlier today. It made me feel really sorry for Tom Cruise. Poor guy thinks he won the lottery just like I did.

imagine that you are staring down from some ethereal plane of post-death...not the funeral, mind you, but perhaps years or decades after your physical decease.. what would you feel pleased to see written on your gravestone?.

he thought he'd figured it out,.
Loved this quote, it would make a great epitaph:

1. bethel in ny suspect high level apostate, cant identify it but know its there.
2. major organizational changes about to start rolling out, one is changes to the "service committee" and titles, po to be done away with, thats all i know for now.
was told that if you are the sort of person that cant handle changes, you wont stay in the org for long.
I don't believe that Barr is the apostate. At the last DC that we attended he was the bethel speaker (two and a half years ago Ft. Worth, TX). I went up to speak to him and give him the green handshake. His eyes looked completely empty and he is just really really old. I was hoping to feel something that made me change my mind about the org. Obviously didn't work. He didn't seem to have the ability to be fighting with anyone but I could be wrong. Not like that hasn't happened before.
