LOL I totally agree...show them that you will NOT be alone and miserable.....show them that we FREE former cult members are not unhappy and are successful and loved. The bondage is over...time to start living life.

Classism in America?
by under74 ini recently had an experience at school where i felt like the one odd poor class in the room.
the conversation started with homelessness and then gravitated to poor people in general.
there were a lot of weird and false assumptions laid out like "those people walk hunched over" and " they" .....well you get the picture.

Here I am again spouting my disability jingle but I can equate your feelings sititng in that group with many of the people I teach.
We open our training session with my "able bodied" business partner seemingly starting the class, with me out of sight. He begins to talk about people with disabilities and asking for how people feel about them, what makes someone disabled, what do they believe people with disabilities can and can't do....some of their answers are unbelievable. Their stereotypes and misconception of what it is like to have a disability are amazing. Most admit that they are uncomfortable around PWD even if they don't know why, most would not consider dating or marrying a PWD and would try to talk their child out of marrying a PWD as well. At this point in the class my business partner thanks them for their comments and introduces me at which point I move to the front of the room and watch their expressions change as they realize that I was listening. We then move on to teach some disability awareness and try to do it with humor and acknowledge why they feel the way they do, while hopefully opening their minds, and hearts to PWD.
We start out hearing.."Those people".."wheelchair bound"...."cripples"..."retards"...."nut jobs"....."burden on society".....among other things. But in the end most usually leave with a greater understanding having met someone who is fairly normal...even if i am obnoxious...who has a disability. **(I have three great disability t-shirts that raise eyebrows...one says "Piss On Pity" another says "Does THis Wheelchair Make My Ass Look Big" and the last says "Keep Staring, I Might Do A Trick". LOL..told you I am obnoxious)
Sometime we will put people in wheelchairs for the day..or blindfold them and make then learn to trust someone to guide them around...or tape them up on one side to simulate a stroke....now they will never fully understand what it is like to LIVE...all your life....with a disability, but it gives them a little taste.
I see the same, lack of understanding among social, racial and economic "classes"....someone who has never lacked for ANYTHING....will never understand what it is like to lack for EVERYTHING. As a result their misconceptions and stereotypes can be VERY condescending and hurtful whether they realize it or not.
Once again I have typed a book....Sorry all.......LOL

the love you had at first?
by eye 23 ini have been so sadend by finding this site and wanted you all to know that the organization is indeed a loving one with only your best interests at heart...but i'm sure, if you look deep within your hearts you already know this to be true...dont you?.
if you search your inamost thoughts and feelings and put away your debeauched/immoral life style ( because if you are truly honest with yourselves, guilt is the reason you needed to distance yourselves from righteousness) and come back to the truth you will see that only kind, loving and overwhelming compassion has always been at the forefront of the wtbts and that although you may feel contentment in a (deluded sort of way) you would have a real happiness within the true christian organization...as your former bible trained concience must know... all others that profess to be 'christian' are satanicly influenced even though they may appear to do good/kind things....how else would the last days of satans system be?.
so i urge all the 'lost sheep' to 'find the love you had at first' and return to the loving compasionate embrace of the organization....you know this makes sense!!!!

if i was near you my family and i would come....i think we should start this as a practice when we hear of DF's/DA's. show our support...show the dubs that our numbers are growing and show that the aposto family cares even if they dont.
i wish there was a way to find out about up coming announcements in the local area....
