Going Clear- Scientology- Movie made this year

by truthlover in

on tonight -- many of the leaders and co horts of david miscavidge on tonight who have left the organization.. it is scary how close they are to the jw's with the exception of the volcano episode and that we are "thetans",.... they hold out a carrot for each level of progression on the "ladder" - to immortality, telling all they will live forever in a peaceful, beautiful world- and of course, each step on the ladder means thousands of dollars and volunteers make 30 cents a day working on all their projects.

they fought for tax exemption as a religious organization, started by hubbard, who at level 8- the highest on the ladder - tells his thetans they are out of a spaced out world -- it is terrifying -- and they are supposed to be able to read minds, levitate things, others in the org are scared of them.... but the org are buying properties all over the world as a benefit for their thetahs" to show their good works.to the irs - building a massive real estate empire with publishing and volunteer labour...... watch it if you can.... .

sound familiar - .

Yes, TI - apparently Cruise is the main star in attracting celebrities too... Leah tried to get Jennifer Lopez into the mix - watched her as well and all I could think, how familiar, how sick it made me to think all the years wasted

with JW's - now they are out in the open crying for money and still building - there was a new title on here yesterday how they are selling off 3 halls in Mo.USA --a Cong of 44 and the building is bigger than ours and because of the continual calls for more monies, they cant afford to keep the hall and will have to travel 35 miles to the next hall.... the fan is going full tilt even tho it is being covered with sh..

and another thing, they cut you off from friends and family who are "suppressive" -- and if you leave, they leave their family and friends with the org and many do not come out of it...

Then all the wrongs and issues they have revealed through the "clear" (lie dectector) when they join and always thereafter have to be checked to see they are still loyal, is held against them -- piles of paperwork on every person and they are reported to their leaders if it is thought they may be becoming suppressive themselves ( doubting/ apostasizing, etc).... sent to a restorative centre where they work for minimum food, little sleep, -=- all deprived causing them to feel they are not worthy.... low self esteem!!

Rivalry among the sisters

by Esmeralda001 in

when i was first introduced to the "truth", i was so distracted by the love and affection that the members were showing me that i was ready to convert into the religion without thinking twice.

i was conviced that jws were god's people (i still think some of them are).

i made it my goal to get baptized as i wanted to be part of the "only" religion that produce such good people.

truthlover

Talesin:

Who would ever think you are snotty?? In Nova Scotia - perish the thought.... our paths probably have crossed

Esmeralda:

If you are single, then you are independent, and married women have a reason to be jealous -- or think they do.. after all, your a working gal, making money, not answering to a spiritual head who may or may not keep you in line... (sarcasm).. you have a lot going for you -- that they don't -- so don't look for close relationships unless it is with the older folk or single females... hey -- they don't even include singles in their prayers!!

You wear and look the way you want -- I do!! I wear Coach, Kors, LV, Vera Wang, love jewelry -- and the list goes on

I purchase what I want when I want, and if someone has something to say, I agree with them, shuts them up mostly.... always with a smile on your face...

If you can afford it, do it...

Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

by thedepressedsoul in

i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

truthlover

We heard a story of how the Warwick property was purchased from a brother and sister just by luck one morning as they were just "thinking" of selling..... It had to be next to the whole parcel of land that was condemned and had massive contamination issues still ongoing........

Jehovah was given the credit.

Yearbook 2016

by Gorbatchov in

jw

stil no 2016 yearbook on jw.org, due to my fade i forgot the normal publishing date.

do you remember when the yearbook was released?

i'm just curious about the 2015 publisher data.

truthlover

I know that most do not take a close look at the report... I like number crunching too and there is a lot of room for discrepancies that the pubs don't get.... I love to call issues to the fore, the society only gives the good reports on various countries and indicate increases to offset the obvious.

As you cant be negative in the hall -- I will tell any who listen as to what the real story is, but it falls on deaf ears.

The society has said it is doing God's work and therein lies the problem - they bring God into the picture and then they can do anything they want without question.

You wonder why Germany did what it did in the camps under Hitler???? the WTSociety is the same - people are under a spell.... it cannot easily be broken.

That's the scam... Buy 2 large screen tvs - send the old one to a place in Africa -- I wont name it in case this hall is the only one sending it there... the new set up will cost several thousand dollars.

If You Dont Disassociate Yourself, Are you Still Counted in Average Publishers on Annual Report?

by truthlover in

jw
friends

for all the newbies and angry ones of the forum and other forums, is it beneficial to show your stand to indicate that numbers are dropping in the org rather than increasing?

this is to those who are in a position to do so.

i know many cannot due to family members in the org.

Or is it that if you do not report service for 3 months or more??

Just wondering..

Relatives who work in Warwick are visiting

by cappytan in

friends

so i have some relatives who work in warwick visiting us this week.

the visit has been largely drama free.

they came between meeting days, so the subject of going to the meetings never came up.. however, they have been talking about the "downsizing.".

truthlover

When 75 came and went, we decided its time to start putting funds away for our later years, we got two good jobs with pension plans and had xtra monies placed in the plan over and above what was being deducted.

I, at that, time was the driving force behind this as my mate had been brought up in the truth and saw no need to do this.. so here we are, 40 years later......

Its so sad, that using God to fund their real estate and publishing empire, surely He has to be angry....
