					<description><![CDATA[The episode on Jehovah Witnesses was so spot on!! You all did a great job showing what goes on within the very private organization. I was a follower for over 20 years and unfortunately still have many loved ones still in. It&#039;s a constant struggle to keep a somewhat relationship with them without saying or doing something that might lead to a episode of shunning. 
 Like many, our leaving had to do with the abuse of children that goes on within the org. Unfortunately for us it was our own 9 year old that was abused by a trusted JW. 
 The way things were handled along with the subsequent treatment we received after cooperating with the authorities and prosecutors was eye opening! 
 I&#039;m truly thankful for the bravery of those who spoke up on this episode and for you and Leah Remini for sharing our truths.]]></description>

Captain Miscavige, Sir:
Forget your wife.
That was just an excuse.  
The truth is I&#039;m terrified of Lou.
This is not a female I&#039;d want annoyed with me.
If she even is a female..
I harbor some doubts on that score.
Never saw an adams apple like that on someone of my gender.,.
But... whatever.
There&#039;s the Black Belt and so forth.
Along with the propensity to bend fingers back... until they break...
I&#039;m fond of my fingers, Sir.  
They&#039;re useful
I want to keep them. 
All of them.
So there you have 10 reasons. Captain.
10 good reasons...
But don&#039;t despair.
I get that Lou is possibly losing her edge.
Maybe she&#039;s just not mean enough anymore.
I get that with all the abuse you dish out you need some reverse flow.
To get back what you give to others.
I understand.
That would not be me.
However, somewhere on the Fringes of the Internet there&#039;s an angry  Bitter Defrocked Apostate just  longing to verbally abuse you and otherwise cater to your hidden masochistic fantasies.
I just know it.
Don&#039;t give up.
The course of true abberative relationships never runs smoothly.
I know you&#039;ll find her.
No ARC at all,
Aqua

I&#039;m all for that but please differentiate between LDS and FLDS. The two denominations are not the same. The main LDS church sees the FLDS as heretics who are in violation not only of church teaching but also in violation of the law.]]></description>

Very well said.  FLDS is so very destructive, You-Tube episodes of &quot;Escaping Polygamy&quot; to see how bad it really is.  And yes, our orange haired &quot;leader&quot; is a fear monger....]]></description>

Hi Heather,
It sems pretty clear that the Watchtower Corporation, like scientology, is a for- profit cult masquerading as a religion. Like scientology, it practices disconnection/ shunning. Like scientology, it has billions in liquid and real estate assets. Like scientology, it demands total, unquestioning obedience to its scripture and leaders from its adherents. Like scientology, it protects rapists, pedophiles, and spouse abusers. Like scientology, it posits itself as the only group in possession of the &quot; right way &quot; to spiritual salvation. Like scientology, it flaunts the law of the land and believes itself and its members to be &quot;above&quot; and not subject to that law. Like scientology, its founder labelled something that he pulled out of his ass &quot; divinely inspired &quot;. Like scientology, it regularly takes advantage of its followers by, among other things, getting them to work for no pay on building and refurbishing buildings that are sold for profit that its leaders keep. I could go on, but I have the feeling that this kind of empirical evidence won&#039;t cause you to question your apparent knee-jerk defensiveness about the show&#039;s portrayal of the Watchtower Corporation.]]></description>

Yo Aqua. You didn&#039;t get the memo? There is a new policy going around, 
&quot;YOU CAN BE WRONG&quot; anyone not savvy to it is a rotten egg. 

Oh, and i&#039;m so sorry about all of this. It all started in the Book of Job. My theory is Job invented the word Satan. Now who else invented fancy names like that... Mara, Xenu... Hmm. Well, In any case, Satan has actually packed up. This happened. It was cool. Sorry, the whole religion thingy is a little awry. 

Jesus is well, truly. I wish I could tell you the story... 

Much love? really? well that&#039;s nice. My heart, once free, had imploded, is recuperating, thanks.]]></description>
