My English songbook doesn't have Beeker in the inside cover. I feel cheated.

Local cult exiting groups - a wish
by cog_survivor inreading some of the exit/fader stories my heart breaks.. i wish there were some kind of local support groups for people who want help in leaving behind their cult lives.
living in the heart of the midwest, there really isn't anyone to turn to.
i would have loved to meet with others in a safe enviroment to work through some of the issues.. all the implanted fears make people scared to turn to other religious organizations.

The problem is that there aren't enough ex members of individual cults in an area to make it feasible. Ex Mormons, JWs, brethren and WCOG need to start working together more.

How many doubting Thomases?
by konceptual99 inas an active witness atm i speak reguarly with friends and family who are also active.
it seems however that there are some things that people are comfortable discussing such as beards (whats the problem) and birthdays (everyone would if they could) and, if you are with close friends, things like confusion over the generations, pressure of keeping all the balls juggled, harshness of rules around da/df ones along with long lapsed family and to some extent blood.. my guess is that there are many more who may be in a similar state of mind to me and wondering if it really is all worth it.
it makes me wonder about how many with express themselves more if they could?

The consensus when this has been discussed before is that the percentage could be anything from 10-25?. I found that you could get so far with a conversation and then you would see them flip to cult mode as Steve Hassan describes. At that point it seems as though you may as well speak to the wall but what you say does still register.

For those in any doubt that the Society is at war with Facebook...
by cedars in...take a look at this from page 29 of the latest october 2012 awake!.
the gloves are now well-and-truly off.
referring to facebook as a "social networking website" clearly isn't working.. the society now feels compelled to start being more specific about which websites it doesn't want you to visit!.

Welcome. You sound a lot like my husband. I was the first to awaken and it was tough. We tried to walk the fine line of keeping family happy whilst not going against our conscience and supporting something we knew was at best wrong and at worst downright dangerous. I think if we didn't have children we may have pulled it off but even if you can lie to yourself, lying to your children is another thing. We are out now, not without consequences but doing the right thing isn't always easy.

Watchtower and Anonymous Links, Updates, News, etc.
by DT ini wanted to consolidate a lot of the information about the attack of anonymous against the watchtower society.
if you disagree with the tactics of anonymous, that's fine.
this information may still be useful as the public is made more aware of the the dangerous policies of the watchtower society.

Worldwide Church of God collapse
by cog_survivor inon my introduction post a few people expressed interest in how the worldwide church of god (wwcg) imploded.
i think maybe in hopes something similar will happen with the jws.
i think the jws will also eventually experience a meltdown but probably not in the same way since the power structure was a bit different.

Welcome. My grandparents flirted with WCOG before joining the witnesses. I find the parallels very interesting.
