"but try and see the pain between the words"
I was thinking about that as I was reading through the thread. I agree with Simon that you don't just get a free pass to do what you want because you are a victim, but, I'm genuinely worried about Umber. I hope she is getting some help.
Umber - We are on your side. Please reach out to us for help anytime, but more importantly, please reach out to a professional.
how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.
how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.
how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

No, actually, an anointed, very humble brother that I still love very much woke me up.
I was also a pioneer for about 4 months, when I figured it out and then posted on here.
thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
"I'm quite stunned by so many people's thoughts and expressions."
Don't be stunned Min. There's a lot of us here who care for you. Hope you are holding up ok...

just feel like i could never make it on the outside world.
i was never able to adjust, except in being a mom and in business.
those are the only things that i feel strong in.
"Lots of relatives and friends that mean a lot to you that would cut you off entirely? Children involved who would get caught in the middle? Husband who would make your life hell?"
I think you hit the nail on the head... Dealing with this is such a nightmare. I'm lonely, insanely hurt, and trying to balance everything... It's not even that easy. Everything has a million implications...

Thank you, I just feel alone sometimes. When I'm being really honest, yes, I'm hard on myself. How can I not be? Especially with being a mom. I didn't have a great example to go by, I'm guessing my way through this, and praying I don't screw things up. Being a mom is everything, and I hope I'm good enough that my kids can use me as a baseline to become better.

Not sure what really to do. Maybe I'm just a warning, to get an outside life; away from the JWs... Idk...
so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.
John - It just doesn't make sense that they'd have a cash flow problem right now with the sale of so many properties. Something is going on.
I'll have more of an opinion on this at a later date.
i have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.
it includes the relevant part of the transcript, along with a string of watchtower quotes to show that what he presented was not accurate, and that watchtower translates rod as a literal implement to hit children with.
.
Thank you Paul.
As a side note, it's unbelievable to me how their policies have hurt so many kids, and they get to just lie and act like they didn't promote this type of punishment. I get a lot of parents did it back then, but, pressure from them to enact this sort of punishment certainly exasperated the situation and they need to own up to it. You don't just get to lie because everyone did it back then.
