Just a brief update
by Joe Grundy ini've been away from the board for a while, and just wanted to give an update.. i met a lady via another board who had concerns that her 'boyfriend's' young daughter was being sucked into the dubs.
i responded to her concerns and thanks to many of the posters here (including some who were in direct contact) that danger seems to have been averted for the time being at least.. during the course of my conversations with the lady we became close.
i went back to the uk early in january and met her for a couple of weeks.

I am assumeing you have told her the things you don't believe already....but if not, I would include some of those things to try to give her some "food for thought".
I think your response was very good .....but I would get a little tougher too.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!! How exciting!

True Co$t of a Convention
by zack infor years one of my assignments was in accounting both at the circuit level and district level.
i was never department head because those slots are filled my true company men.. the cost of an assembly is determined by a formula the assembly hall committees uses.
it's pretty straightforward.

Geeeeeez.....They know how to really fleece the flock, don't they? My sister was at the last convention of the summer 06...she was so impressed that the society spent the money for pirogliphics (?sp...Fire effects) I bet it made people give more money for the wonderful "special effects".

In Memorandum
by RichieRich init was the 14th of april last year that i had to sit my mother down and tell her i was an apostate.. i was closer to her than anyone else.
my father and mother are still married, but he let her raise me as a witness, and that meant it was me and mom.. me and mom in field service for 100 hours in july because she had to make her time as a regular pioneer.. me and mom fighting over what to bring for lunch to the district convention.. me and mom up late at night, when she would berate me, and then unload all her problems on to me.. me and mom and our 4 hour family studies, where we discuss 2 paragraphs of a random book, and then she would browbeat me until early in the morning.. somehow, through all that, i pretended to be a witness for years, just to appease her.
looking back, i don't know if i loved her, or if i was just afraid of her.

Wow....just wow. I feel like that with my mom...like evrything we had when I was a witness was fake anyways, and I am much happier without her (as a person) in my life. I long for a mom...not MY mom. And no one can be "your mom" except your mom...so it is a big loss. We are orphans....but getting over it and removing the tumor is a good idea....just easier said than done.
I am going to step on the cracks too.....(That statement....Oh....too much!!)
I actually got a door matt that was left over from the holiday season at Big Lots for 1.99. It says JOY on it...which is mymomsname. I never buy x-mas things that say "JOY"on them....they make me cringe....But wiping my feet on JOY makes me feel good.

Hey Brook...where did you cocktail waitress? I was one too at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin NV. It was OK...but the wemon were very catty and I had to work all the less desirable shifts.
I have also bartended during the day at a cool little bar. That was really fun while it lasted.....Great tips and lots of regulars. Plus, during the day you didn't have to deal with drunks.
Then the last job I had was at a 401k call center. That was the most fulfilling because I got to learn about retirement plans (which I had no idea about before due to never concidering it)and I was able to really help people.
Now I am a stay at home mom...the best job ever!!

Jousting with windmills
by Bobhere inthe wt has no claim on me i don't think its purely altruistic ( i'm no saint) on my part to help other victims which i have over the years it's like i was part of a dsylectic family and i want to make it right.
a quest like that of don quotie " to right the unrightable wrong" i say it has no claim yet here i am posting on this site.
its like i want justice but can't find the enemy let alone pin him down and thrust him through with my sword.

I think one of the main reasons I post here...and read the posts, is because it gives me hope to see all the new people, elders, CO's and DO's coming out of the org....and reading things that keep reasuring me that the society is a bunch of crap. (brainwashing is a process to remove from your head)
The ones I have tried to "help" are like you said..."happy in the prison"...so, I just like to vent here instead of making them all mad (although I still do when I feel like I can't keep my mouth shut at times)
My last attemp to "help" someone is my non-baptised little sister has a df'd roomate that does all kinds of "bad" things she has so much guilt over because she thinks the "truth' is the truth. I wish I could ease her mind....but she is super stubborn. I gave her a COC book and she hasn't read it. I guess my little sister confescated it. Oh well....I told her in 20 years when this system is still here, she can feel free to call me....and that I will always be here for her to talk to...even if she gets back in.
