    I bet you anything that with the Bryant thing they changed the links so that any 'wordly' person who is looking to see if its true that they disfellowship and shun people wont be able to find it. Less likely to believe it if its not on there site. They'll maybe think that its just some disgruntled ex jw's making it up.

    ugh they are so ignorant..

    Now i am really confused..i grew up as a JW little goody two shoes girl and believe me you that I know they never would disfellowship for child abuse of any kind...they encouraged it in Toronto Ontario and the elder of our Hall was my dad's best friend and HE was putting his wife in the corner at his house for hours as a punishment for talking out loud while he talked..this was done in front of us..and he would get up and "smack,,bang.."right across his daughters face while we were there if they..went against anything he said, or belt them silly till they were black and blue and the other JW's just sat there and stared as if to say.."good"...as far as Molestation..they pretended these things never occured in the Jehovah Witnesses and if they did....You were still supposed to pretend that it never occured!!!
    Thanks for letting me share...and thanks to whoever put up this sight..finally i could have my say after years of turmoil...man they sure fucked up my head...but i am 36 now and happily married with 2 kids...took me over 25 years and thousands of dollars in therapy bills to recover at least half way...
    peace to ya all..
    keep it together huh??
    Hugs from Rags in Cananda
