  thoughts triggered from a comment cappytan made on a different thread:.

  cappytan the newest guy in the gang, mark sanderson, is no exception [to being a gb helper at some point].

  - w2013 7/15 p.26 a new member of the governing body"in september 2010, [mark sanderson] was invited to return to the united states, where he served as a helper to the service committee of the governing body.".

  I think this has serious implications. The doctrine is flawed and exposed for any and all to see that would like to. JWFACTS.COM

  In the JW world, sadly, this is nothing...

  heartbroken and not sure what to do...

  i don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.

  we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.

  yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.

  Those symptoms do not sound "high functioning" to me.

  Limited focus, meltdowns, emotional disconnects, and distractions of everyday life need to be managed.

  My anxiety and meltdowns I have experienced are almost exclusively JW cult exit related. The other day it took several hours before I felt like going out for the day. Couple of times I just had to lay down. Sometimes a dark room can help get one back on track.

  My weakness is people that genuinely act terrible in front of me.
  I used to just ignore them and let it go. After being taken advantage of for so many years in WT, I refuse to let people screw with me. This tends to get me into hot water...

  You are welcome to PM me if you like.

  There are varying degrees of affliction in the autism/Aspergers spectrum.

  Anywhere from barely able to cope with anything to "high functioning".
  My JW wife believes I am the latter. I tend to agree.

  I find myself at times taking things too serious or too literal and this can cause a social conflict. Sometimes it takes special convincing to help me see an obvious mistake most others see.

  What type of behaviors/routines are difficult for you/him to cope with?

  "No one knows the day or hour", I thought?

  I knew this very mentally unstable JW woman years ago. She would get so hyped up for Harm-you-gettin', that she would find herself committed to the sanitarium near annually.

  We looked after her two pre-teen children for a couple weeks during one of her episodes.
  They all shun me now...

  Love to hear some of your October or seasonal JW real life fantasy moments!

  Looking back, why do we shun again?
  
  This is pure madness and I hate myself sometimes for taking part in the "love".

  The levels of pain within this ORG that JWs pretend has no effect on them is almost indescribable.

  Prayer Question I Had After Sundays Watchtower...

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while i was sitting through another grueling watchtower, dying from my brain being turned into cult pudding, i had this thought after i heard this read: .

  when we express our most intimate thoughts to god in prayer, he may answer us through a bible passage, an article in a magazine, or an encouraging word from a fellow believer.

  I hate that we were fooled.
  I hate that I have given up all of my adult life in a delusion.

  I love that I am free.

  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  Maybe some dirty, apostate, bethel, financial mole scuttled the ship from within.

  Self destruct sequence has been initiated and cannot be reversed...

  That would make a nice movie plot.
