i want to thank so many of you for giving me the ammunition i needed to initiate actions that i hope will save at least one of my two children from the cult of the wtbts.

i have been able to undertake some positive actions in no small measure because of all you people here.

some of you may recall from earlier posts that two of my boys friends were dis-fellowed and that i went ballistic when my kids told me they were not allowed to talk to their best friends because the society says we cant.

i just want to share this observation with some of you if i may.

its a bit revealing about who i am, but since i dont have much to loose at this point (the big df is only a matter of time) so i think will risk revealing some identifying info about myself.

also i have a book that will soon be out concerning some of the clandestine work i did for the federal government (kgb, hackers, fbi, secret service), some real neat stuff that i can now talk about.

what is it about the organization that changes seemingly normal people into carbon copies of corporate policy, changes them down to their very soul?

how is it that loyalty to this organization can cause one to turn off natural affection between parent and child, spouses, grandparents etc.

what exactly, specifically, is it that they do during these five weekly meetings and/or with their printed words that has such a profound and powerful effect on people.
