  DNCall Unmasked - Part 4 of 5

  startfragment.

  even though i didnt have the title of elder, i was still active in my work at bethel and the congregation used me as much as possible.

  when the congregation recommended that i once again serve as an elder, one elder raised the objection that that barbara was a low-hour publisher.

  The Grieving Process after Leaving the Cult

  by cantleave in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really want my wife to see that we have spent our wholes lives in a lie, a lie promoted by mind controlling cult, but i have a problem and this is it........ my wife was extremely close to her grandmother, she lived with her in her teens and loved her to bits.

  when her grandmother died, 5 years ago, my wife was devestated, the only thing that allowed her to combat the grief was the hope of the ressurection, being able to see her grandmother again in the new system.. it is in my opinion, this hope that keeps her going in the "truth".

  if the she leaves the truth i am sure, that like me she will not fall back on any other religion, she will probably become more humanist and agnostic if not atheist.. this realisation will mean that she will never see her grandmother again.

  When will they realise that the bus isn't coming?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was still a kid and living at home at the time, and so that must have been well over 30 years ago, that i heard ron drage (now a senior member of the uk bethel) say "if you are waiting at the bus stop it, is better to be 10 minutes early rather than miss it".

  what he was referring to of course was the then then 1975 issue; in other words armageddon has arrived yet but it just round the corner and we are a little early for it.. i don't know what brought this to my mind the other day but i got to thinking, surely if you are waiting for a bus and you get there 10 minutes early and it doesn't then turn up, how long do you wait?

  10 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours?

  survivors, on anger, growth and change

  by Lucky Calamity in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you have any thoughts on that topic, or quotes, coping strategies, etc., please share.. i liked this, reading in aarp rag, this a.m., the stories of people who lost a lot and were fortunate and resourceful enough to begin the process of moving on, and taking control of their lives in the wake of enormous betrayal and financial disaster, (partly due to their own gullibility, and largely due to someone else's enormous capacity to take advantage of it.

  sound familiar?).

  in posting this, i am not suggesting that everyone can or will be able to recover as these folks have, but merely to suggest that their insights are encouraging and that having positive support, in the face of crises of any sort is extremely important to recovery - from anything.. anyway, here are some quotes:.
