We have what the Catholic survivors do not - because of our small community, we are able to support each other.
Being so isolated (unlike my RC or Protestant compas, who had school friends, education, etc.), made an internet search for 'others' like me, imperative. When I got my new PC, the first thing I Googled was "Jehovah's Witnesses", and there was JWD, my tribe.
Now, we have an huge community, not just here, but on other sites and facebook. It's a wonderful and amazing thing. Such a contrast from the 70s, when I was kicked out, and no support - zip, zilch, nada - from other exJWS.
I had some wonderful non JWS who helped me out, though! And life was pretty damn good. Challenging? For sure. But worth it. I've never looked back.
To all lurkers and newbies ... yes, you can do this. And you can choose happiness. No life is perfect; illness strikes, jobs may suck; the same ups and downs that the JWS have. But I can now 'roll with the punches'. There is no one I must report to, no one monitoring my every move, indeed, my every thought.
As Oscar Wilde said "The best revenge is to live well." It's written in my 25YO address book, and words to live by. xx -

OC, check out this page - note the donations (not receipted), gifts from 'other charities', and line 5050, which is curious - is this a donation to Headquarters in NY?
And this (I thought that all KH buidings/land were deeded back to the Society?):
Did the charity own land and/or buildings? 4050 Yes

That's what struck me - the donations being so low. There is no way that is true. And, no tax receipts? This is a strange one - I know that my parents used to deposit 12 cheques in the Box, so that they got a yearly receipt for tax purposes. There is no way the rich people would be donating without that receipt.
If they are not reporting donations, does this mean they no longer issue tax receipts? It is very strange, indeed.
smiddy, most charities have *some* paid employees. I would be interested to check their 2014 and previous files, to see what they show.

I didn't notice the date, but noted that the names were all new to me.
I wish I was more in the family loop, my cousin has been at Bethel for over 20 years. It looks like they may be shutting down the TO Bethel?

Look, I just have to bring it up because mental health diseases are so stigmatized, and there might be (probably are) people on this site that also have a serious mental illness. The worst message they could possibly internalize is that medication is bad. Because, like you said, people die from these illnesses and medication noncompliance is a big reason why.
GT, I so agree! Especially since we are exJWS, and were taught that MI is Satan's way of messing with us. They also do NOT want people seeing shrinks - too much to hide.
The indiscriminate prescribing of unnecessary medications is what I am against. It's happening to so many people, and is an huge problem for seniors (especially with drug interactions).
I lost 4 friends IRL, who stopped taking their meds, and bipolarism killed them; not the noose, the razor blade, nor the samurai sword, but the illness. It's so important to stay on the meds, and understood. Meds for schizophrenia are really hard on the body, too. I wish we had better alternatives, but in the meantime, it's the best we have for these serious MIs (including depression, which can be either a temporary, reactive depression, or long-term - reactive depression may require short-term meds, but also will heal with time and therapy). xx

The absence of the detailed financial report is curious, and based on these conditions.......
Complete Schedule 6 if any of the following applies to the charity:
a) The charity's revenue exceeds $100,000.
b) The amount of all property (for example, investments, rental properties) not used in charitable activities is more than $25,000.
c) The charity has permission to accumulate funds during this fiscal period.Apparently, they received less than $20,000 in donations for fiscal year 2015, and own virtually zero property.
Huh? No employees, either.
