I would like to hear about some of your great experiences prior to getting involved with the WMS. Who was your best friend, what did you do with your families, what were your goals and aspirations. Please don’t use this topic to tell us how much better off you are now since you joined this group. I/We want to know some of the things you used to like doing and the people who you loved and admired prior to joining this group.

I had no friends here in wyoming before joining WMC really with no real goals or aspirations that count for anything even by your standards all I did was read and watch tv and movies and go to work. I did a lot on computers in terms of webdesign but that was kinda fruitless because it isn't like anyone really looked at anything I did. I didn't go to school because it seemed pointless because I felt like life was not going to go anywhere because I had dropped out of college after it went into accredidation probation and I didn't want to start all over again. The only social interaction I really had was before I move to Wyoming I did a lot of square dancing and even some calling amateurly but I had to stop because surprisingly there is really none to do here.

JoshuaParticipantWow, that’s kinda cool. (At least parts of it.) What is calling? Is this like what hunters do? Are you a hunter? As for web design it sounds like you didn’t do much networking or promotion. You might want to give it another shot from a different angle. Before you joined would you say you were lonely?

SimonParticipantSquare Dancers dance Choreography given by a caller who calls/announces the steps to be taken.
My webdesign was mostly for fun more than other people anyway.
I was lonely yes my friends were all back in california or people I met online (I play[ed] MapleStory and am on a couple Facebook groups) so I could occasionally talk to them on FB which I still do sometimes, not really the same. I really hated it in california so I never wanted to go back.

Love'n HoneyParticipantI was a rebel before I was baptized into the COG. I went out to the club literally every weekend. I spent my money on clothes, mostly shoes. I love shoes. I had a boyfriend who I almost married this year but that didn't happen, apparently. My best friends were Alyssa (I met her in middle school) & Nneka (I met her in C School). If I wasn't with Alyssa, I was with Nneka, vice versa. I did a lot of bad thigns. I stole, I drank, I smoked (hookah). I almost pimped out a girl but then I thought how bad it was & decided not to. Lol.. if you were to meet me in person then or now you would never guess I did anything bad. I gave the impression that I was an "angel" by my sweet talk & young face. But those who knew me knew I was a player. I played a lot people. Took advantage of there kindness. Mostly because I was taken advantage of. It seemed that once I was living on my own depending on myself, I began to take revenge on the world. I don't do most of that stuff now.

Love'n HoneyParticipantI had many friends. I had goals. I didn’t join the Navy for nothing. I had direction. I knew where I wanted to be 5, 10 years down the road. Actually, I made it to my 5 year goal early! You cannot judge who I am based off a few sentences I posted.

JoshuaParticipantI am really hoping to hear about some of the fun stuff people used to do before getting involved in this group. Shurly there’s some memories of good times from your past. I used to love going to this campsite my family owns. We would build a fire, cook some food over it, and wait for the stars to come out. We were fairly poor growing up but I do remember some good times. How about you?

Love'n HoneyParticipantI remember throwing kick backs at my Auntie's house. It was fun for about the 1st hour then I would have to separate myself from the entire party. But I remember there always being a spontaneous party at my Auntie's house. My family & I didn't do much "family" stuff because I never really believed in family after I realized my Auntie wasn't really my Auntie but a life long friend of my mom's. My cousins weren't my cousins, etc. Whenever there was a family function, I separated myself because I felt like I didn't belong. But they were always fun.

Sueno MaruyamaParticipantKind of interesting the members don't talk too fondly of their immediate families …. I know 5 members in various congregations around the country that had close ties with their parents and brothers and sisters, and those ties were very much damaged or broken once the members became immersed in the "group". I communicate with their parents (these are all young college-aged members) and their parents are hurt deeply, as are their siblings …..
June 14, 2012 at 4:53 AM #45477
Love'n HoneyParticipantLike I keep telling every person who feels the need to interview me about the COG, I didn't like my family before, during, nor after the COG. My family is very judgemental. I have been accused of being sexually active in H.S., accused of being anorexic, even questioned if I was a lesbian. Ironically, I was greatly against these 3 things before I joined the Navy & I was accused of all 3. Family hasn't meant anything to me in the recent years. I would say the last decade.
June 14, 2012 at 5:42 AM #45478
Sueno MaruyamaParticipantYes, I understood that your biological family ties were somewhat weak. I can understand why an organization like this appeals to you. But there are much better ones for you to become involved with, that don't require you to believe such a ridiculous Korean fantasy …..
I believe that you will, like almost all members of this cult, eventually find your way out and hopefully to something much better ….. the sooner that happens for you, the happier and more satisfied you will be …. you may also find as you get older that your relationships with biological family may improve and become more meaningful …
