  Making friends in the "truth"

  by Jordandemm in

  what is it about making friends in the organisation am i the only one who had found it tough?

  don't get me wrong there was some good people but unfortunately there was also a lot of egotism, back stabbing, jealousy and gossiping.

  i could never really fit in any group, everytime i thought i had found a group it was as if i would be sidelined or ditched.

  The preceding comments are spot on. If you don't act the way the cult wants you to act you are ignored and have no friends in the congregation. It is used by the cult to control the members.

  Go in field ministry regularly and people will invite you to their homes and hang around with you Miss a month or two of service and they will ignore you.

  A couple of years ago I realized I was wasting my time developing relationships with conditional friends. If I were to be really down on my luck would they be there for me? If I was an alcoholic or addict living on the streets these same "friends" would cross the road to avoid me.

  Hiererchy among elders --so says Kenneth Flodin

  by wannaexit in

  there has always been a hierarchy among elders.

  now it's been validated by kenneth flodin in this talk about the word "princes".

  so not any elder can be a prince in the new order.

  All of the elders are equal, but some elders are more equal than others.

  Don't his parents have jobs?

  It is usually the children asking for money not the parents.

  Fleecing the Flock

  by Coded Logic in

  at the last assembly i attended in 2005 the cost was $11,000 per day in yuba city (just over two hours away from our circuit).

  this always seemed a bit high for a facility that was built on donated land and whose construction loan had been paid off for 20 years.. i just looked up the cost to rent the redding civic center, which is just as nice if not nicer and a whole lot closer for our circuit, and it only costs $2,500 a day plus $250 for consumables (parking included).

  if it would save the brother's and sister's $8,250 a day and they could have the assembly locally why wouldn't they do it?.

  There are threads on here about the pricing of circuit assemblies. It has nothing to do with the cost of the facility but it is based on a per publisher charge.
