...cult, a cult, an f***ing cult!!!!
(had to get that out of my system (no-pun intended)
i've been visiting this site for a week or so and it just hit me.
Welcome to the board Mahler,
There is a thread in Scandals & Cover-ups............ I need some more JW scandals/hypocrisies to add to my list..........2 3
You may want to check it out. Also, I also recommend "COC" to read. You will find plenty of support here so feel free to vent.

an elder read a letter last night, and i practically giggled through the whole thing.
his poorly manufactured gravitas was most amusing, given the ludicrous content of the letter.. it seems the society is pissed that the friends aren't choosing the "recommended lodging" when going to conventions.
i remembered two important details about the letter.
I've mentioned this in an earlier thread sometime ago....
The WTS must be upset because they are losing kickbacks, erm -- bonuses, from these major hotels for booking there.
This happens alot in the buisness I'm in. So I would think of as a threat to WTBS financially.

Even tho I left the organization I do not harbor any animosity towards the JW's or their chosen religion and lifestyle. I actually feel sorry for them because they are blinded to the facts and refuse to see or listen to them. They beleive it is all propaganda and lies. But they have to choose for themselves and if that is what they want so be it. Even tho I have family in it. I would like to see them awaken from their slumber and open their eyes.
I do agree you need to make a choice for your children and I hope that it is the right decision for you. IMO, if I had to do it all over again I would have never let my children be raised a JW. They started in their early teens and it has been awful for them.
I envy that you had the chance to meetup with sem Ex-JW's. I don't think that will happen for me anytime soon. It is a pretty small community here. But as for meeting with them and having a connection you will probably have better luck in this forum.
I am not athiest, I don't think, but right now I'm kind of agnostic.
The best to you!
