  I'm not responding to our new friend jw because if he/she really wants to know what exJW's have done to fight child abuse in and out of the borg, he/she can visit silentlambs.

  I am posting to respond to what happened to Steve as a child. Steve, I just have tears. I don't know what to say. I am so very sorry that happened to you. I wish you peace and healing...

  hugs

  I never said not to take legal action when necessary against the organization.

  Would you personally do this? If a member of your congregation came to you and told you “mommy, brother so&so gave me a big hug. He hugs me a lot and really tight, and breathes on my hair funny, but mommy this time he also put his hand up the back of my shirt onto my bare back and was rubbing it. It made me feel funny. I told him so, and he said not to say anything to anyone about it.” What would you do, jw, what would you DO??

  YEP, Without hesitation.
