MK forum

Everyone needs to read this, and think about it.

Think about it really hard.

Thanks, Bemused, aka Our Own Beloved Sympathetic Agnostic.

At your service.

Interesting Bemused. I jump camp from time to time.

Was thinking last night - wouldn't it be terrible to be one of those long term NTM missionaries, perhaps enjoying retirement in one of those Sanford homes and then to realise that your whole life has been suckered away by NTM. I wonder if they even know who they are? I mean who they really are without NTM in their lives pulling all the mess of strings like a puppeteer. I'm talking about the non-abusers here. The abusers are probably very very glad for the ongoing safe haven afforded to them by the good folks at NTM.

Some of us were part of NTM without ever applying (MKs),others of us applied but thankfully got out (kicked or otherwise) with varying degrees of war wounds. It seems like a bl**dy painful process either way but the third option of growing old in a NTM care facility is the option that would scare the be-jeebers out of me. We at least have freedom to think and question (quite aside from trying to get justice).

Excellent point! Yes, I am very glad to be far away from that environment now.

Now you are out, you can look in. But when you were in, you couldn't see out.

Never have I seen so clearly
Now I have the courage to look
For now I see what was
Was never in The Book

For when deep within
There was no chance to question why
And what I feared the most
Was if I did, my soul would die

But the soul was badly eroded
By theology gone askew
I could not see the wood for the trees
And the sun it shined not through

So like many I wandered off
A better path to find
And then came back to look again
With clearer calmer mind

And it matters not which path I take
As long as I am free
And the bonus now is I have friends
Who are great company

NTM homes
Scary thought.
The poor people who are good folks.

I rather like it here.
