Gloriavale

[C_T_Russell]

It looks like some churches are taking advantage of the situation and recruiting members from Gloriavale, I just hope they are not the misogynistic fundamentalist types.
However sadly, it's been their whole life knowing nothing else, they probably still need some form of religion going forward, for the time being anyway.

What a depressingly cynical view of the world you seem to have where you view helping escapees to find housing, jobs, giving them clothes, furniture & money etc to help them get started on the outside as just an attempt to "recruit members".

I'm qualified to speak on the matter having escaped the jehovah's witnesses cult myself.
So many parallels to gloriavale and I've seen many situations where ex-members just go from one cult to another.
I dont have an issue with churches helping out, it's the right thing to do, but I don't want to see vulnerable people getting taken advantage of either.
