Thanks again CherieKropp. I was born into and grew up in this faith (1966 to 1984). I think my great-grand parents were in it at the start. (No I don't mean when Jesus told them this was "the way", I mean in the Irving days.) I "professed" at about 10 yrs. KW's name popping into my head one day started my quest for answers to questions that I've always had but never even thought that the internet would have these answers since there is so much secrecy. I've never been able to question somebody from within and get a straight answer. It is really blowing my mind that there is so much info and that the faith is so big... like a company. I've always thought is was a little nomad wandering group of lowly selfless workers sacrificing (mooching) poor souls but to find out now that there is a huge hierarchy of power and money and scandals like any other group, religion, company etc. makes me actually feel stupid that I hadn't seen it this way as a whole before. Brainwashed. The word comes to my mind when I think of my bringing-up. In a certain sense I feel I still am as I am looking for info to what?... justify some of my personality?, morality?, maybe even my mortality? Maybe this isn't the post or thread for this kind of personal disclosure but I can't talk to anyone near or close to me. Do you suggest a better post? I may even need a head shrink as it feels it's going to explode. Every answer I get just leads to a buttload of additional questions, a lifetime of them. Can you suggest a post or thread or whatever that I can name specific workers names and dates and their "fields" of "work" or is that prohibited in some way? I really appreciate your participation thus far in my quest, thanks.

I really appreciate your participation thus far in my quest, thanks. I know how you feel. I professed at 8 and quit at 12. But like you I never even thought to look on line for the group because it never occurred to me that they would be allowed computers. Because they weren't even allowed TV's when I left. My parents died quite a few years ago and I had no other relatives that were still alive that professed, so I lost touch. I did know some, but never even thought to ask them about the things I learned when I found this forum. I was shocked about Irvine and was angry at first that my parents had been faithful to this religion not even knowing how it all started. I was told it started with Jesus on the shores of Galilee and I never questioned it. Mind you it never mattered to me because I wasn't part of the group anymore. But still, the fact I never questioned that proves just how much we did just believe everything the workers said. Welcome to the forum btw.
