it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".
"is he 'in the truth'?".
most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.
I'm posting this from the other thread.
I eradicated it in 15 minutes, and I was essentially a born in. It might take some a long time or never to eradicate. For some of us, it happens at the speed of light. Using it on this forum has repercussions. If I'm a lurker and I read people talking about the 'truth,' I'm wondering why they left it if it is the truth.

As with everything we post, we owe it to ourselves, lurkers, other posters, the topic, the site and to help those exiting from this god awful cult to give some sentient thought to WTF we type.
That isn't rocket science.

It makes me want to vomit. But you all already knew that. I don't mean to be mean, but anyone exiting the hate filled cult should quickly evaluate how and why they were attracted to it and/or trapped in it. The special language was one of those indoctrinating, controlling tactics employed by the Dark Lords.
As Punk states, cults develop their very own unique set of words and language with one purpose: to control the rank and file. It is difficult for me to understand how anyone leaving the hate filled cult can not understand that and quickly end use of those 'special' words. But to qualify, to me Patience is a stripper down at the Platinum Club.
i bumped into a sister that i have known for at least 40 years or so.
we were catching up.
she and her husband have been in the truth for decades.
Thanks Steve2,
As I've said before, there is a reason Simon has you as one of the wardens. You do an excellent job. I am somewhat of a challenge, and I know my toes are routinely across the line. It's kinda sorta amazing you all haven't given me the boot already.
I've tried to change. Really, I have. I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way.

the big book of how to build a human - your genome - is approximately 3 billion letters long.. the text is arranged in long molecules of dna called chromosomes.
each letter of code in a chromosome is joined to its compliment - a to t and c to g - and the whole string is arranged in the iconic double-helix shape discovered by watson and crick in 1953.. our chromosomes come in pairs, one from our father and one from our mother.

I am un-impressed. In just 7 days, FrankFurter can make you a man, which is a lot quicker.

steve2,
You are always so pleasant and kind. Me, eh, not so much. I did say please 3 times and try once. Give me a break. I have ignored them, for 2 1/2 years on this site. You play good cop; I will at times play bad cop.
Otherwise I will do what I usually do with your kind but misguided guidance. Ignore it.

Thank you for the compliment.

The have been shunning those still in for decades by a variety of measures, all of which have been supported directly or indirectly by the Dark Lords (marking, viewing those who miss a few meetings or have low hours in FS as 'weak' or 'bad association,' often failing to invite such ones to the reindeer games or other congregation functions, restricting 'privileges", etc.).
The elder wraiths are simply doing the will of their masters in Brooklyn. A lot of elders LOVE this kind of stuff; it gives them a reason for living and a feeling of importance. Now they get a chance to rid the congregation of evil, keeping it clean and white for the evil Sauromons in Mordor.
To all site members and posters. Please, please, please try to refrain from referring to the cult as the 'truth.' I don't even like ttatt. There is nothing truthful about this hate filled cult; it was formed on lies and it lives on by lies. I stopped using that term immediately after exiting the Dark Tower. I do not understand why so many of you continue to use it.
The sooner we stop using the loaded cult-like language which was designed to indoctrinate and program us, the quicker we can all move past it.
a. in 2026 in what state do you think the organization will be?.
) 9million + members.
) roughly the same amount of members as today (7-9 million)..
The Dark Lords have a mitigation strategy from what I read on this site: Baptize 10 year olds with the hope of trapping them in the cult forever. Born ins leave at close to a 70% rate, and that % is likely to increase in the future. The Dark Lords have apparently developed a dark and evil strategy to address it.
Shunning isn't going anywhere, as it is the two pronged approach to keeping the born ins in. Without it, all of them walk by the time they are 19.
What else can they do to spread their infection? They are screwed in the industrialized and wired nations, and the numbers they get in the emerging countries are bleeding the coffers, putting even more pressure on the undereducated, lowest income earning religious members in all the industrialized nations to provide sufficient $ to build a lot of 3rd world KHs, convention centers, and Bethels.
Lurkers and current Dubs - The Dark Lords (i.e. GB) are evil men.
part 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genes.
in part 4 we saw that roughly half of the 800 genes in the human genome that code for olfactory receptors are broken remnants of our evolutionary history.
they were vital to our distant ancestors but in humans, as in our primate cousins they have been allowed to fall into disuse as our eyes became more important to our survival than our nose.
Thanks Cofty,
But you had me at hello. Well actually you had me at Hello (Part 1), How are ya (Part 2) and especially How YOU doin' (Part 3).
Now will you have your lawyer speak to the judge about maybe ending that restraining order? I mean seriously, how often can I make it to the other side of the damned Atlantic.
