  Bethelites on Facebook, etc.?

  by neat blue dog in

  i know there are tons of need greaters that have blogs and websites, but are there any official special full time servants (like bethelites, co's etc.

  ) with a web presence (i.e.

  facebook, twitter, instagram, blogs, etc.)?

  As far as I know there are no official "rules" against social media, but then again I have been out for 6 years now. I have seen plenty of elders on facebook. But like all true ex witnesses know, there are plenty of unwritten rules or activities that are frowned upon, surely this is one of them. I doubt any of the big shots, like CO's, DO's, and Bethelites are on social media and if so, very few...

  Did leaving the "Org" ruin scary movies for you?

  by jeanniebeanzz in

  many 'scary' movies base their 'jumps' on a belief in the supernatural, demons etc.

  since i have left that all behind, ther aren't many 'scary' movies that even make me uncomfortable let alone scared.

  lol.

  I love horror movies, but I do believe in demons still, even after leaving the org. However, I don't feel guilty for watching them like I did while still in!

  Random Thought: Was Prince in good standing in the Org?

  i find it hard to believe that the flamboyant grooming, earrings and heels would grant him positive status in the congregation.

  it definitely wouldn't fly in my old cong in arizona.

  he would been pulled in the b room rather fast.

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

  @Chook, I agree. I had a few secret sins when they asked me that very question lol I answered "no" and still got appointed, which further led to my doubts that Holy Spirit is not involved.
