It makes me really sad just reading your stories. These things are unimaginable... I am just thankful that I am the only one in the family stuck in the "truth". For those who are still studying to become one of JWs, I hope you are able to read this and know the reality.

Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?
by tootired2care inafter being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.
somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.
for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

How Do You Generally View People and Yourself?
by minimus ini tend to look at people and situations with a little bit of humor.
i tend to feel that many view themselves as being better than they really are.
people's perceptions are often skewered.

Before I became a JW: "I need to study hard, do my best, and become successful so that I can help my family and community in the future.."
While studying to become a JW: "Yay! Why did I not know these things before?! ... And they're so loving. "
As a JW, pre-TTATT: "Gosh, these people (referring to the "worldly" ones) ... "
As a JW, after knowing TTATT: " (Thunder, lightning, ground-shaking) Dear God, why did I put blind faith in all these things?! How gullible of me.. "

We have another clone of SPFW here?
Back to the topic: I chose Red Cross and another long-time registered good-reputation charity organization . And NONE to the WBTS. They have billions of dollars at their disposal! They keep fleecing the flock and won't shell out anything from their very own pockets (I mean the Faithful and VERY discreet GB). How convenient.

Emergency relief fund for the Philippines. How will it work.
by joe134cd ini was just thinking it will be interesting to see how the wts emergency relief fund will operate in the philippines.
ok it worked well with the storm in florida, with cashing in on the insurance cheques.
sorry to generalize, but americans have the disposable income, and the insurance polices for things like this - a thing the wtbts finds very attractive.

Not sure about the relief goods having been distributed November 10th--- because all roads were still not passable at the time, according to many sources.

It's become a habit for me to say a brief thank you before eating.
Now, who remembers what Deloris Van Cartier recited before the nuns?? :D

Another mega-church in the Philippines, the Iglesia ni Christo is drawing criticisms due to their alleged refusal to provide shelter to the people knocking on their gates during the typhoon.
Now, what do you think would WTS do in this situation?
I think the WTS would do the very same thing and proclaim later on that they were the only ones saved by God.
Meanwhile, we saw videos of the typhoon's devastating power from inside a Catholic church. Why? Because everyone was let in--including the TV news reporters that couldn't hold back their tears sharing what they saw (shown in the video link below).
