This is such a horrendous tragedy. Rather than lashing out, I'd hope people will find ways to try to comfort this poor mother.

TrèsDéçu,
Excellent letter. Too bad you didn't get a reply last time. I'm crossing my fingers for a better response this time.

How many people have you helped/facilitated to leave JWs?
by Julia Orwell inme: one, my husband, so far.
if we all snatch one person from the borg, will our numbers grow exponentially?

Hi Julia,
We can't just go around snatching people up. They have to agree to come with you, or it's kidnapping..

"I won't watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" because Neil Patrick Harris is gay"
by OnTheWayOut inthat's what my jw mother said.
folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch how i met your mother, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them.
i should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v.

I wonder how people who take this stance deal with Broadway. Is Broadway off limits, then?

I wonder how she found out about NPH. Maybe it was the opening act at the 2013 Grammys the other night. :-D

exJW Psychology 103--Let's Reconsider "Confidentiality"
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inover the course of decades as a jw, an elder, a bethelite, then learning ttatt and wanting to leave, i'd collected a lot of insight into the power of "confidentiality.
" although the confidentiality in a judicial hearing is supposedly to protect the sinner, in actuality, i saw that it was about control and was protecting the power of the jc.. i didn't use any of this knowledge until i was called before the boe because the other elders figured they had grounds to remove me as an elder.
it was a work situation that only lasted a matter of hours, but it was enough that they seized the moment.

I really enjoyed reading this, Billy. I wish you would do a "Crisis" book of your own.

The fact that what she is telling people is that you have "...turned my back on the organization" speaks VOLUMES. It's all about the bOrg. Cult. Period.

You wrote:
"She still has all the bound volumes going back who knows how many years but has literally taped them all closed so that "She is not persuaded by old light". It is a freak show"
WOW. Just...WOW. Everything from her letter SCREAMED cult. It's all about a giant publising corporation and her complete and total loyalty to it. There is nothing she wouldn't sacrifice for the Corp. Not you. Not her family. Not even herself. So very sad.
