Thanks so much for all of your comments.I especially liked the comment on compromising and being discreet.It can sure be a lonely time until you find something else to do.Billy the x Bethelite,please tell us your story....It is a long time for some of us,but my mind is Finley free....thanks again.

How are you faders doing?
by pat1060 injust wondering how all you slow faders are doing.i know this subject is discussed many times,but personally i wish it was more.we should post every once in a while just to say how we are doing,we need to encourage each other.as for me,it is still going very slow.right now i'm looking into the history that is being covered up.i have learned so much just by reading the older threads.it is very painful for me because this was the truth.and to be finding out so much crap that 99% of jw don't even know,it just is unbelievable.i have cut my field service down,and miss more meetings then i ever did.i'm hoping the sister that is in my face all the time,trying to help me,will forget about me soon......so how are you doing?.

That is so true,we do become self centered,but ,look we are trying to get out of a controlling org,telling us every thing to feel and think....and lying to us.We will be so much better off when it is over.But I do want to avoid DA because I still have a son in,even if he does live aways away.I just want to disappear.

The Caring Elders
by cantleave ini would be interested in your opinion of the following:.
a friend told me about an incident that had happened in a neighbouring congregation.
she told me that a sister from the congregation needed to get back to work after a meeting but discovered that she was boxed in.

White Dove,I agree with you....The elder should pay,even if he can only make payments,would be the loving thing to do...

Think the GB Knows much about WT's Financial Holdings? Think Again
by flipper ini missed this point the first time i read ray franz's book " crisis of conscience " 3 years ago.
but it leaped off the page at me the second time around reading it this time.
on page 28 in discussing how secretive the gb meetings are and only rarely will an outsider be let in to gb meetings to give a report- then were sent away out of the room so the gb could continue meeting in secret.. franz in discussing financial issues states on pg.

I was told that the legal part and the GB are separate because if persecution comes along then the legal part is the one that will be shut down,and the GB will continue to dish out food.

Ray Franz Views of "Information Control" by WT Society Agree with Hassan
by flipper inhaving read ray franz's " crisis of conscience " 3 years ago -before i read steve hassan's 2 books on mind control - my wife and i thought it would be good to re-read ray's " crisis " book again now that we know more about the workings of " cult mind control".
we just finished chapter 2 and i noticed striking similarities i thought i would share.. notice this quote in " crisis of conscience " on pg.
28 & 29 by franz , " thus numerous factors that are relatively common knowledge in many religious organizations are known only vaguely , if at all, by the vast majority of jehovah's witnesses.

Thank you for this information.I read Franz's book in parts a long time ago.I'm going to get it and read it again since this time I'm fading.I never realized how controlling the GB is. No wonder you can't just leave it.
