Leaving a Cult - Hollywood v Reality
by Mickey mouse ini was thinking today about the classic scenario of someone leaving a cult; steve hassan's experience is a good example.
when he left the moonies, he had a loving family on hand to support him emotionally, physically and financially - protecting him from the daily demands of normal life whilst he recovered from the psychological trauma he had been through.. sadly for jws, this is not the case, and especially not for us born-ins.
we have to make our exit whilst alienated from family, usually whilst having to continue going to work, caring for children and dealing with the strain placed upon our marriages.. .

They are bothering my sister
by truthseeker1969 inmy youngest sister who has never been baptized and never shown an interest in the witnesses since her teen years was recently visited by a couple of elders.. they asked her what she thought about witnesses and how she viewed the congregation.
she basically told me that she told them she could care less what anyone believes or does but she refuses to believe that the gb are spirit directed or inspired and that the material she has been shown by my family is the same stuff since she was a child.
she did tell them that she sees the gb beating people and using lies more and more and referenced me who was df'd in absentia but then had it overturned.. they stayed for an hour and at the end asked her to tell me that i should still limit my contact with my mother since i am not attending meetings etc.. i thought it was strange until she told me the name of the elders, both on my jc and both still it seeems bitter!.

Do the Governing Body members ever go Door-to-Door?
by 00DAD inin his book, in search of christian freedom, ray franz wrote that that gb members for the most part never participated in door-to-door work.
they were "too busy with more important things.
" (gee, how come that excuse wouldn't work for the rest of us?

US Debt clock
by diamondiiz inhttp://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html.
for those who might think that us has a chance of getting out of their debt without defaulting or hyperiunflation in the near future.
at present all eyes are focused on europe and us dollar strengthens but once the european mess is dealt with, with whatever the outcome, the focus will return on us debt and you can bet your dollar the us dollar will drop.
