Ok, here goes... Isn't it true that since they have changed the terms of the baptism wording (back in the mid 70s ) it is their view that we are a part of their organization therefore they have the right to control our life and hold our standing over our heads. Well, if I am a part of something does that not mean that I own a bit of it?? Like my stock acct, right? Bear with me. I helped sell those damn magazines, ok, not very well but that is irrelavent here and I contributed for those stale 'loaves' at the conventions and soured pudding, and furthermore I followed their damned advice and parked, sllept and ate where the basterds told me to so that my 'mother' would benefit from the kick backs... well, I am leaving now and I need my share of the monies. That would be one into however much they have world wide...n ot just in the US as funds have been transferred through other countries.
If a few thousand of us got together and pursued this would there be any chance. Yes, the contributions were from the heart but the kick backs were fraudulent as far as I am concerned.
