I contacted his office a few months ago . I sent in my predicament using the attached forms and got a reply saying Steve "had read my story" and would be happy to help me . 400$ an hour for a Skype call . They sent me the whole list of fees for meetings etc. If anyone wants ill post it here .

I cant believe he is a scammer , ok , high costs but he really is or appears to be a good man. Saying that, on his Facebook , he is always pushing his products especially his two books . But I guess hes got to make a living too.

He mentioned once that a Cult education website had been bought out by Scientology , which in turn kept the original name, maybe this is the website ? It sounds familiar and in a part of his book he mentions that they do things to damage his reputation.

He also says intervention has not been practiced since the mid eighties or so , and is now illegal , its like kidnapping or something .

My opinion, he is genuine , has to earn a living and maybe this website is not 100 genuine .

Well Ive just looked at the website, and it looks quite good actually , so maybe this is not the oneS cientology bought out .

'Worldly' man looking for a little more understanding...

by Verecocha in

saw similar title in a google search so thought i'd read more and now simply have to share my experience if anything to hear that i'm not insane and it is that simple.. met and fell madly in love with a witness, and her with me.

what began as love at first sight turned into a 6 year relatiomship which simply ended very bluntly.

there were many painful twists and turns along the way, first from her inability to leave her husband, then my mistake in finding someone else as i simply couldn't take the pain of her coming and going with such simplicity, but in the end she got a divorce and suffered many consequences within 'the truth', and i sorted my issues which were many and admittedly dug with my own hands and stupidity in trying to protect a young girl who had done no wrong in this long affair.. eventually we found ourself on what i believed to be the home straight.

So , tell me please How are you now ?

Im in the same position as you were when you started the post . Its horrible and uncomprendable , the power of the cult is deep rooted , just cant believe it

Need advice

by Drwho in

i'm a middle aged man.

i dated a jw lady for 3 months ., we never had sex, just made out , half naked , well everything except underwear .

she has been a jw for 40 years ., was married to a jw but he committed adultery 13 years ago so they divorced .

Drwho

´Little update .. The daughter has left the Org , two weeks ago . She has a non jw boyfriend . My ex ( or still gf ) is thinking about a lot of things . Has got rid of her " no blood " card and promises not to shun her daughter if she disassociates .

She has admitted to her concerns about the child abuse facts . But its a long way to go . : )

In love with a JW girl

by rastapau in

need advise.

i was in a relation with a jw girl for almost three years(im am not jw) and we are so inlove with each other until someone saw us from her congregation and she was disfellowed and that where the oddness happened.

her family and friends are not talking to her anymore, she wants me to stop seeing and talking to her anymore not until i became a baptized jw.

Drwho

This stinks of fake

Pet Zahut, She never cheated on her hubby , it was the other way round.

She tried to get me into the cult , but I couldnt help laughing when I saw wome of the literature , guess Im too logical .

She is , like most JWs a very nice person and would nver ask me for any financial support, she is fact quite well of . I love hearing advice but scaremongering is something akin to what the WT does , so why bother ?

Crabby Ive known her over a year . And you really dont like anyone do you lol : )

Raven, yes that my intention , just play it by ear . But am slowly getting pissed off with it all . I see lots of improvement , I see more and more of the real her . Its weird sometimes we will be walking and talking and she will stop , look at me and say " I m not going to leave the JW ", she will repeat this once or twice . Weird , I dont mind telling you , that freaks me out .

When I saw their picture of " paradise " I did not feel dizzy or tired , I just thought " oh my god , this is like something to show a 8 year old kid " and this was my first encounter with JW literature and my relationship with this organization ended after 3 meetings and 2 bible studies , which I did purely out of research purposes , to understand and see first hand how they operate , I could nt keep a straight face to tell you the truth , it was so childish and directed at kids , I am 48 .

Your example of the Swat team is very good , and to approach a JW indoctrined for 41 years with the SWAT approach does indeed make them turn to the cult for comfort . Now in your example, the police should have sent a loving trained negotiator to ease her away from her kidnapper . Apply this same approach to my ex i.e. show her love and that there is a life outside the WT , a life of freedom and love then she will start to think . If do the SWAT approach , going in heavy handed then she will defend herself as trained per mind controlled indoctrination.}

So , your next remark that " she was dumb enough to choose this " Well ,actually no , she was bought in as a small child, her parents were the dumb ones, she never choose this, or were they dumb ? They were new to this country and had little friends back in 1974. A JW recruiting campaign very near to the 1975 Armageddon did a good sells job on them , they spoke their language and offered them a congregation of their nationality , coupled with the bullshit of the near approaching Armageddon was a perfect recipe to fall into their trap , People who submit to cults are rarely " dumb " or "choose " to become involved ..

I will not become a " Devil worshiper " , Ive made the clear , and I am not trying to save the world ,just 3 people . Although I would like nothing more than saving the whole world : )

Tell me about yourself , where you ever a JW ?

Thanks Simon
