Elon welcome to the board. It makes me very happy to see more and more people coming to this board, especially those who held high rank. The only person who needs to forgive you, is you. We were all blinded at one time, and we should all simply be thrilled to be released from their bondage. I'm happy for you that you have your wife with you, and I'm very sorry for the loss of your son. I look forward to more of your posts.

61Please forgive me...!!
by ELON14 ini'm new here and this is the first post i make (i promise that more will come).
i have been following most of the posts made here quietly for about 4 months and i would like to thank all of you who are called apostates for the well documented and researched material you have presented here.thanks to you i know now the truth about the wt organization and i'm no longer blind and misled.
i disassociated myself about 2 months ago after 15 years of very "faithful" service to the society.i was regular pioneer for 12 years and an elder for 8 years, i served mainly as the service overeer.my experience was published in the 2 of the society's magazins.. as i was a very zealous and prominent elder in my circuit i zealously promoted the organizational rules and i allowed myself to be fully used by the society to promote those mind controle techniques that now i know hurt those who were my sheep.

Am I damaging the silentlambs cause?
by Simon inone of the few unfounded (i think) accusations that have been thrown at me by certain people is that i have caused 'untold damage' to the silentambs cause.. i don't know quite what this is supposed to mean or what i'm suppoed to have done or whether it is anything more than just 'mud' flung by people who find it easier to criticise rather than actually do anything.. over the last year (is it?
) i've been happy to promote the silentlambs cause and have hosted links to bills site and vidoes / sound files of tv programmes, radio reports, photo's of the march etc... as well as providing a place for people to meet and arrange things.
i hope it has been useful and helpful to at least some people.. if i have inadventantly held things up in some way then i unreservedly and wholeheartedly apologise.. all i can say is, i do my best and may not always get things right.

Simon, as one of the more newer members here, I have to tell you this site has done wonders for me personally. I've tried very hard in recent months to keep close watch on the silentlambs guestbook, emailing those who wish to talk to someone, finding local contacts etc and simply being a listening ear. This site has done so much good for me, and I can't help but pass along the link to everyone I talk to from silentlambs amongst other boards.
Ignore the gripes and complaints, they don't know what they're talking about. Or maybe "It's getting too hot in the kitchen" and they need to take a walk. Dubs seem to be getting pretty upset lately with all the media attention.
Thank you Simon for making this site. It's been wonderful being here, having people to talk to, vent, share experiences and histories, etc. You've done very good here.

I don't know how I managed to miss this post, but Great Job Elsewhere!!!! I also had goosebumps when I was distributing my lambs all over town. I put almost three hundred miles on my car that afternoon! I went all the way from DeSoto to Denton, Mesquite, Garland, Frisco, and a few in Dallas city limits too! It was a blast though. Did you come across any new halls? Were they luxurious like the new ones I found? Good Gawd! I was trying to find out a particular address for you to drop one off to, on behalf of Jesika and her sister, since he lives in Coppell over towards your way. If you have any more lambs let me know, 'cause this guy really really needs a personal return visit! LOL!

by Jesika inwell, i talk about my abuse so much i haven't found the need to post it.

(((((((((((((HUGS JES)))))))))))))))) The stories we have to tell about our family would take way too long to write, wouldn't it Jes? Everyone, Jes is my niece if you didn't already know that. For my brother to have done that to you Jes, still blows my mind. To beat you for biting your nails; as if you didn't have REASON to be gnawing on them to death! I bit mine too for a long time, probably still would be if I didn't have these fake ones glued on! Growing up a Thoman is so unlike how so many people thought we grew up. We used to be called The Thoman Empire. If they only knew..........
I've carried alot of anger towards your dad Jes, my oldest brother. He molested me, my youngest brother molested you, good gawd how did we survive? The beatings we endured, not being believed about horrible things that happened to us. People throw Forgiveness around so much, it makes me sick. I've simply Accepted that this is my/our history. And we move on. And we do everything in our power to help others as we've been doing. It helps them, but it helps us too, doesn't it Jes? We've been there, we know, and we can be a shoulder to those who've been through it too and help them find comfort like I/we have found here with those on this board amongst the other boards we belong to. Helping others has done so much for me, and I know it has for you too.
I know there's so much that happened to you that you didn't put here, and I truly understand why. I posted mine in bit pieces on SL, and a portion of it here recently too. Trying to write it all down would really take writing a book, which I really don't want to do. It's hard enough putting the bits and pieces of our lives let alone writing all the details.
Jes, you and I are very strong woman. We would never have made it this far if we weren't. I'm here for you, as you are for me. Pass me a beer will ya?

I must have missed something somewhere, an earlier topic posted or something, cause I don't understand where this all started. But, I'm wondering, What/where is this Beyond Board?
