You son feels safe enough to tell you how he really feels even though it makes you feel like shite. At least there is communication, albeit painful at the present moment. Give them all time, time to trust and see that you are genuinely out. We are all victims of this horrible cult that really does destroy families on so many levels. I would say this is just a stage of rehabilitation for your son and yourself. Give things time and keep talking things through--- keep your wits about you and remember, kids will say some stuff that cuts like a knife... but we are the adults and can handle it. When the proper time comes, explain yourself once again and give it time to gain back any respect you may have lost. If after a good deal of time--- you do need to protect yourself from overly negative comment and toxic relationships... so, speak your peace, live your words, and concentrate on healing and making yourself a better person. You should not have to suffer with guilt of past mistakes while under mind control. The fact that you finally came out, and at such a great sacrifice speaks volumes!

The Most Hypocritical Talk I've ever heard
by javierjiminy inpimo filmed a marking talk about him.
crazy how the many of things mentioned are the same thing the borg does, like brainwashing and indoctrinating.
what's crazier is how he's saying to the congregation not to do research or look up bad news articles because they are all "fake news.

Fading. They aren’t stupid.
LOVE THIS ANSWER!!! lol On a serious note, I agree with the comments on the time and money in making "kid-vids" not much there as compared to the emotionally manipulative adult videos... the mix of sappy, cheesy and oh soooo culty deserve all the attention. Wonder what will become of all those Caleb and Sofia picture spots they put up in all the assembly halls?? hahaa

This new commercial design will be easy to sell off when the time comes. They look a lot like Starbucks or a donut shop... lol -

This show grinds my nerves... but, of course, I am semi-hooked. I just don't like the really pissed off mood it puts me in after watching... I wonder why?
Under his eye... may the lord open... blessed be the fruit.

Watchtower Spies and Secret Agents
by TerryWalstrom ini'm posting this link:http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/spies.htmlonce you start reading it you won't be able to stop.fascinating and well-documented citations which give credibility to the belief that such a sneaky, underhanded, and often illegal practice has been secretly promoted for decades by watchtower society world headquarters..

PS> as far as some of the stuff on the link of the original post... I don't know... I agree with the comments that most of it, if not all, was crap elders would take upon themselves... I do know for a certainty in the 70's they would follow suspicious activities of members (like going into gay club etc) and definitely watching singles homes to catch them fornicating... this was to comply with the almighty 2 witness rule!!! Anyway, I am not big on conspiracy theories-- but theres so much crap this org has been caught doing... wouldn't put it past them.
