What did you take with you when you left the organization?

by coffee_black in

leaving the organization, it is like packing for a journey you can choose what you take with you, and what you leave behind (other than people).

there are things i chose to take with me.

for example, i have used the sales training to my advantage over the years.

I took a long look at my wasted life, I took my solitude as thats all you have when you leave this cult. I took my pride, I took a deep sigh of relief as i could now stay home or go out and have a life 3 times a week. I took the realization that everyone in the world isnt a satanist and that there are real people out there, they don't all want to kill and eat me.I took a long new look at my mother whom i loved and respected for my whole life(34 years when i was DF'd) and had to see her choose religion over her own child, I took the fact that my only brother, my best friend in the world would never talk to me after his the 2 divorces i had to sit thru and $13,000 school loan i gave him and never asked for back.oh and don't forget the occasional knocking at your door with some closet homo/pedophile looking guy with a pre-pubescent young boy who should be home playing baseball on his left standing there looking at you so sadly after you tell them your DF'd and vary happy, Hey WTB.....LMB

Well.least im not bitter right...........

GB -> unprofessional

by DannyBloem in

when i read some post on this board, they give me the feeling thet the gb are some crooked pure evil demons.

i do not believe this, for the following reasons:.

first of all i think that the issues that come out are actually few, if you compare it to the number of things printed, done etc.. like the un thing.

Hi

Im new to this board, but could not help to agree with you. They have more money comming in than some 3rd world country's,Buying land, selling mortgages to every KH built in the world with interest, coutributions up the yingyang all of not to mention are tax free(religious church state thing) and lets not even go to the money laundry mat they call the watchtower "farm" how you could ever find and follow a paper trail thru there is beyond even the Mob.

I wonder if they would ever say hey we were wrong about dis/fel those people now that we know better or how could we give back those peoples live's we destroyed, Gays, adultury, speeding tickets or what ever other things they consider a gross sin.

I have 2 members of my family who are JW's. I think you cannot even begin to feal the pain till you live thru being DF'and seeing first hand the sick cult that they are. Not having anything to do with you and forgetting all you've done for them thru the years, Its a sickness.

Funny, christ sat with sinners and prostitutes and even died for them but i cant get a cup of coffee from my mom...Thats real agape love.........Just my 2 cents

To scholar: re: child abuse

by Lady Lee in

in another thread you posted the following:the whole child abuse issue is simple apostates in their desperation trying to make something out of nothing for they delight in creating controversies and making mischief.

i was one of those victims.

it isn't a "delight".

Dear Lee

One thing, you have to remember that the JW is the perfect hiding place for crimes against man. They only answer to "god".They are above the police and court system.They have pioneers,people who do not want to work in the real world, just want to knock all day and live off others, you have circ overseers, people who are given a new car every year to drive around from state to state and never pay for a thing, staying with people from the congregations for free then given cash to move on, then you have the people like elders and min servents who realy answer to no one but "god". When something happens, the shuffle game begins, the elders are told, the meeting of elders and investigation of how much was said and who knows about it. If it can stay inhouse, then it is squelched, if it gets out then the dammage control begins

If your a bad person looking for a place to hide, You can just say I had a weekness or i need help, it is forgiven because you asked for help. The very first question is" does any one else know about this." In most cases it is the victum who pays for the crime in the Kindom Hall because the" bad person needed help and is getting it, " But you the good person should forgive and is not so your wrong. Its a terrible cycle.

My mother and older brother are in this cult so i know first hand, i left 10 years ago and they still have nothing to do with me/ I am a Fire fighter and evey once in a while i have to respond to the Kingom Hall for a medical. I still get the Piss shivers just being there. its like a cult meeting, everone gets so quiet when strangers are in the hall. very strange.....Best of luck.

Watchtower Properties Website

by Apostanator in

i was wondering if there is a website available that lists all of the properties the watchtower owns, as well as the current value of those properties?

if not, what would it take to establish one?

i think people would be very interested in what the watchtower holds as property or as businesses.

What do you think the farm in upstate ny is for, its farm land zoned agricultural. They hide huge amounts of cash there. how could you ever trace money from a scam like that. They use cash for everything. contributions are put into a box at the back of the hall so no one ever see's it. land and property left from will's, i know of one that an old guy was getting the full court press on his death bed , the congragation put a new roof on his home and everything. he died and they got the home and property worth 400 g's. no one ever heard another thing about the land, not even the relatives. and dont forget they are thier own bank, financing all the Kingdom halls in the world with interest

and they locked up John Gotti
