Vern on his Fixing My Faith channel just uploaded a video on this.
good morning all, i would love some genuine advice please.. i have an old friend who is still in the org, but has never been the very staunch type.
however, she is going through a very rough patch in life, (past deeds from youth caught up and now is in prison) and i reached out to her by old fashioned snail mail.. by her reply she sounds more pimi than ever and finding some sort of comfort in the literature.
would i be wrong to attempt to wake her up, would that actually be a cruel thing to do right now?

Send her a copy of Crisis of Conscience..
Then order her some of James Pentons books.

it comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.
is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?
i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.
Not Former;
The pleas for money are now so obvious that they're after members home equity,, wills & estates. In addition they want your frequent flyer miles from supermarkets,, air miles & reward points....
If you go to any assemblies or conventions they have contribution boxes strategically situated throughout the venue. They have credit card & debit card machines strategically set-up by the washrooms & entrances so you cant miss them.

i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.
Sometimes going to BetHELL,,, is what it takes for the jW's to,, snap out of it.
'many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered.
but at the may 3, 2024, meeting of the general conference of the worldwide united methodist church in charlotte, north carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.. .
“the united methodist church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct.

As I always reiterate,, we really see what the Borg is about when something even remotely even hints a threat to them.
When it comes to to legal issues or $$$.
