When I was a member, I was told that people who had left the wms had gotten sick, gotten into bad car accidents, etc. Did anyone else hear similar stories?

By the way… Do someone knows why after every baptism they take pictures of that person? That is so weird!
It really isn't weird at all.

angelikkeprParticipantWell… Actually if you don’t know or you are not sure of what they do with those pics, it is.

Cephas' BrotherParticipantIt does seem like kind of a "Big Brother" type thing to do. That's 1984 big brother, not your big brother Tommy. The "book of life" is essentially a giant database of everyone they've ever baptised. Think of how you would use that if you were a multi-level marketing type scam…like the WMSCOG is.

angelikkeprParticipantReally, really weird! Thanks Cephas’ Brother…

Cephas' BrotherParticipantNo problem ๐ If I might ask, how is your forum handle pronounced? When I'm reading posts my inner voice says it as "Angel-Like-PR", but I wonder if it's not something like "Angelique-PR"?

Love'n HoneyParticipantThey also ask for your home address to be recorded in the book of life.

Cephas' BrotherParticipantOh how wonderful. SSN? Credit Card numbers? Urine sample? I keed. I keed. ๐

Cephas' BrotherParticipantYeah, that's true Simon. With cameras everywhere now, pretty much everybody's got your picture. I guess as an "outsider" to this group, I just can't defend them having all that personal info. It's a church, you don't need to know where I live or have my picture to "save" me.

Love'n HoneyParticipantThey like to have your address to visit you in case you fall away or need help getting to zion, etc. When I was in the hospital, I was visited by cog members and they called me everyday to make sure I was ok.
November 14, 2012 at 3:34 PM #46970
Cephas' BrotherParticipantThat's quite nice of them. It really does seem to me that the lower level members of this group are great people.
November 14, 2012 at 4:37 PM #46971
Love'n HoneyParticipantYea.. My missionary and some sisters visited me. I wish o could talk to them but i know i can’t.. =(
