  It's time for me to say Goodbye

  by oldflame in

  2. friends

  i have been on this board for 7 or 8 years, i have learned a great deal from all of you, but it is time for me to move on and put my life in a different direction.

  so i say so long, who knows maybe sometime in the future i will pop in and say hi.

  thanks to all of you who have done a great deal for me, i have learned a lot about cult religions and a lot about myself.

  Elder: "Why are apostates ANGRY???"

  by hamsterbait in

  i was talking to my brother, who remembered an elder who came (in the mundane sense) on a regular basis to talk to us for shepherding calls.. sadly i now realise we got all these calls on cold winter sudays, because with unbaptized kids they could count the time.

  ( i used to think the borg just cared more in those days).

  anyway - this time he went on and on about apostates, it was just before the dc.

  “I am treated as evil by people who claim that they are being oppressed because they are not allowed to force me to practice what they do.” -D. Dale Gulledge, Author

  Wow. that quote is amazing. pretty much says it all.

  But also great letter. They are an organization filled with hatred towards anyone who is not their own, or whom they view as a threat. That sounds pretty evil to me.

  hello and welcome!

  You know, i just got done reading a book that ... i didn't care for the way it was written, but at the end there is a great section on "what to ask witnesses" and being a witness i could say these would work great without confronting him and making him mad. You just come across as the "concerned and curious"father... it's worth a shot. The book is 'captives of a concept". it's a real short read, but the back chapters or 2 have that info in it, you might find it quite useful~!

  Wish you luck! ....

  and as my husband and i like to say...

  DAMN CULT!!

  that's where it's AWESOME to use credit cards though, if you lost cash, somone took it and went to mexico... it would be "oh well"...

  We've had fraud charges, you just say it's not yours and it's over. Greatest thing,

  WHY use CASH????

  when i even started reading COC. half way thru it.. i kept telling my husband ... we have to move..there's no other way to get out of this... and we HAVE to get out!!!!

  We didn't end up moving, why give them that much control?

  but immediately with that book i knew. I tried one or 2 more meetings, but i was freaked out the whole time, wanted to run for the doors.

  THat was it! i wont say it's not hard as HELL, giving it up isn't easy. but proving it wrong... that's easy!

  the 1980's was certainly a strange time for rock groups, and musical development.

  lots of techno, beginnings of alternative , and some rock n' roll groups trying to push along.

  what were your favorites ?

  Need Help, Hubbys Mad at Elders and I Need To Get Info for Him...

  by cognac in

  2. friends

  hubbys brother is not baptised and faded.

  another girl in the cong - same thing.. they just announced both of them as no longer bap't publishers.

  from what i've been told, that's not just an announcement to just let the cong know they don't put in reports- it's like there d'fing them or marking them or something.. anyways, in order for elders to do that, they are supposed to at least attempt to meet with the person.

  2. friends

  i'm trying to figure out how to word what i have to say to mom, and i'm just not cuttin it.

  here's the story...came in the "truth" with mom, i was 13, she was going thru a divorce.

  she's convinced to this day that we would have no relationship if it wasn't for the fact that we found the witnesses.

  wow whitman.

  That was beautiful. espically the last line.

  And the sentiment is great. Yes, making her feel confident that i'm not going to try to change her.. then she can be confident with me. that's great!

  Thank you!
