  I would class myself in the 20% with Justitia.

  While I had some initial panic, it was quite short-lived.

  whenever a new branch or k/hall is built, its always proof that supposedly j is blessing his people and speeding up the work.

  does that mean when they have to close a bethel branch it means he is pissed off with "his people"????.

  How many more 6-and-7 year olds do we have to hear about getting dunked?

  Less and less, my friend......only one of my kids got baptised ( and still not df'ed or anything....thank the goddess ).

  Which means none of my grandchildren will be!

  Very few of my neices and nephews are "making the Truth their own" either.....

  We're not going to save everyone today!

  But it's coming!

  Good night, dear one!

  Agonus.

  Which is why I think Cedars' way of doing things is much more effective.

  Expose the whole.

  Confronting an individual (person or congregation) will only make the person or congregation defensive.

  Get the information out to the public - that's the way to do it.

  Those outside the Org need to know and those inside need to find out for themselves.

  Agonus,

  Point taken.

  My perspective is that I have 2 children out - both young adults. Judging from them and their friends - the majority of young people in the religion do not believe it, nor do they take it seriously. They are attending meetings ( barely ) and doing that only so Mommy and Daddy don't abandon them.

  I give it one more generation. The religion is imploding.

  It doesn't need our over-the-top efforts.

  Which is why I say, if Serenity and friend needed to do this for THEMSELVES - great!

  Otherwise, leave the old-timers that are left to their dignity. They aren't going to change now.

  They created the monster.

  Agreed.

  I just feel we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

  But as I said, I understand the emotions that go along with this. So if this is what you need to do in order to heal yourself - mentally and emotionally, then OK.

  But I get the impression from the video that your friend went there for a different reason.

  Agonus,

  Yes, Jesus went right into the temple grounds and drove out the money changers.

  He had the right to do that, he had the authority, he was God's Son.

  Do we have that same right? To enter their "temple" and disrupt?

  Did Jesus give his followers that same authority?

  I'm not sure.

  That's all I'm saying.

  Of course, I love you and dear Serenity...... And I understand the emotion that this comes from.

  Agonus:

  Disagree and act like an ass - you're a tool of Satan.

  Disagree respectfully and be a total sweetheart - you're still a tool of Satan.

  Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

  True, but the difference is how YOU act. As you pointed out, you can act like a an ass.....or you can act respectfully.

  I prefer to disagree with them in ways that allow both me - and them - to keep our dignity.

  I'm not sure this is the way to do it.
