Having been raised in the troof I have no idea how to grieve. It seems to never leave. Time helps but it is so horrible for so long.

I'm sure religious organizations have been hiding their money into different Inc.s , offshore accts, laundering all that they can as fast as they can.

What about the Daily Text? I saw a video on you tube. It really sounds like they are totally liquidating. Prepping for lawsuits? Making a hide away for the GB to live out their lives. They have several corporations to hide money in and nobody knows anything about off shore accounts.

Commuter Bethelite video
by no-zombie infor those who missed last weeks clam meeting, there was a video played that was amazing ... however not in good way.. we are all aware how thousands of full time bethelites world wide got the boot and put out onto the street.
some having giving most of their lives to the organization, but often with no real way to support themselves other than to depend on the generosity of others.
so when this video talked about how special it would be for those who could step up and become a commuter bethelite, it made me think how calculating the governing body must be.

It was all over for me when they started "rebranding" THEN to sell of that property and dump people in the streets. "You will know them by their fruits" .

What would make an Ex-Jw go back to been a full in Baptized JW
by LOLS ini was just wondering , why would my jw husband return to been a full blown baptized jw after 20 years of fading?.
he has spent 20 years of his life been a worldly person , with a worldly wife & kids & worldly friends .... to joining the borg full time , to getting baptized , to getting new brothers & sisters .... and to writing off most of his worldly friends (some his known his whole life ) , to trying to convince me & our children how wonderful this org is ......and anyone else who will listen :(.
has anyone ever experienced this ...... oh and he seems to be in it 110% and no-one can say anything about this crazy org or show him proof that it all bs...... his such a clever independent , successful guy , why on earth would he go back to this , after been out for so many years & change into this domineering , opinionated fool ..... oh and his entire family also went back ... father , mother , brother & sister .

What Carla said. I would just be very vigilant about him and other JWs indoctrinating your kids. Keep them involved in school, activities with non JWs,make a deal with the spouse.....only Sunday meetings...none on school days or nights. If they don't want to go then they don't have to. Your kids will be taught to think, have normal friendships and development etc.

Is there a Will..?
by zeb inhave begun to update my will.. for some who have very severe divisions in family it would be a good idea to avoid orgs or undesirable relatives claiming part of your estate and more to the point making sure it goes to what or who you wish it too.. live long and prosper in wisdom..

I don't know if you can make an iron clad Will. My MIL had a Will and left a generous portion to her two sons with added protection of "if anyone contests this Will they will be eliminated". One contested. Her lawyer said that anyone can contest a Will.

Apparently I am not worth saving ,why else would they acknowledge me and then pass on by.
by smiddy3 injw`s were in my area for the first time in i don`t know how long.i`m in a regional area.
anyhow i was walking down my driveway with the purpose of going around to my outside fence to spray poison along the fence boundary.. across the road were two witness ladies talking together on the opposite side of the road and could clearly see me coming out of my house.
i proceeded to rake away newly mowed grass to better expose the area i was going to poison along my fence.. when the two ladies ,maybe 40`s and 50`s ?

Maybe they were afraid of the poison in your hand.

Family is now reaping what they sowed and they don't like it.
by Gemmel ini resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.
one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.
i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.

People can be so stupid. Just follow the example from the Organization. They kicked out all the long time servants in New York. No job skills, no money, no social security, no letter of reference just a thank you and get out. They gave NOTHING to people who gave everything. Don't reward inhumane treatment. You did the right thing.
