Have you considered that perhaps those dirty old men who have allowed this type of abuse for more years than you care to open your eyes and see are also only imperfect men? Who says they are annointed? Them? Have you ever asked an anointed person how they know they are anointed? I have, they have said that it was way too profound for me to understand. (I guess I'm just a lowly and stupid ol' slob.)
Your comment is quite out of line. Have you ever heard the expression it's better to appear foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt? Your comment does, indeed, fall under this catagory. Turn your back on "Jehovah's Organization?" A question I recently asked my parents, If Jehovah always had an organization, where was this organization between the time of the death of the apostles and the late 1800's? There was no answer for me. Because there is no answer to a lie.
Please, remove your blinders and begin to see fact for what it is.
I'd be curious to ask you what you think about the problem that is occurring in the Catholic church? Is there some difference because these men are not considered by your own mind the "chose organization of Jehovah?" It seems by your post that you live by a double standard. You see, the Catholics not only believe their religion to be the "Chosen organization of God" but they believe their leader is infallible. And they profess this openly. Unlike JWs who do not profess openly that the Gov. Body are infallible, and yet, comments like yours show the twisted minds they produce. You see, it's much like Satan's tactics. He lies, just as they lie. They say, "Oh, no we're only human, we're not infallible" and yet, they produce fruit such as yourself, who would belittle a sister of yours in their favor.
I have only this to say, KUDOS to the Catholics for CLEANING UP THEIR CONGREGATIONS unlike JWs who REFUSE TO DO SO.
I hope you can sleep peacefully tonight now that you've cast the first stone (please see John chapter 8).

WOW!!! I am totally blown away reading all the awsome thoughts that you all have posted on this board. I just don't think I ever imagined how this would touch you all the way it has. I just am so very grateful to have this kind of encouragement from so many awsome people on this board. It just means so very much to me reading all the kind words, and feelings. My husband registered as a Newbie and wants to post here on the board. He has been so touched as well. He spent almost a half hour on the phone this evening with a reporter from the Star Ledger who was about to call JR Brown afterwards. My husband told the reporter JR is a blatant liar, then he said You can quote me on that. I hope they do!

Barbara you have touched a lot of lives. Your hubby has balls too
Oh we raise quarter horses. I ride a 2 year old palimino quarter horse how. His mother is 17 and getting a bit tired. He's a stout little bugger but wants to please. Keep enjoying life, only gets better and better.

I am surprised, amazed, encouraged, relieved, and inspired to see you 'come out' in the open! I love it!
Your family has been through unfathomable amounts of pain and loss. I am so grateful to hear you are doing well and Living Life to the fullest. It truly is a gift isn't it?
I cry as I read your story and all the responding posts. I cry for the pain you've experienced. I cry for your daughter and the injustice of this organization. I cry for those that witness what's happened to you, and yet the can't "see". (Like Schibolet) I cry for not having the blessing of seeing my family out. Perhaps one of these days...
You are in my mind and prayers, especially this weekend as we all celebrate Mother's Day. A loving mother is one of the best gifts a child could have. Justin and your daughter are blessed beyond belief! I know you are making God proud!
Friend and sister in Christ,
AndiPS: Ever want to adopt another daughter...let me know...

shit-for-brains,
: What did you expect? A pat in the back for speaking against Jehovah's organization and Jesus' annointed brothers? Don't get me wrong, I understand your struggle, but you have crossed way over the line. You have been mislead and you sincerely think that those that are helping do because they care for you. If they cared they would helping you with your spirituality by helping you get closer to Jehovah. Instead they will do anything in their power (or twisted words) to get you to leave Jehovah's sanctuary.
Go fuck yourself.

I would like to keep everyone informed about the press coverage over the disfellowshipping. Channel 9 News called this morning and they want to come down to the Jersey Shore today to do an interview with us regarding what they have been following in the articles form the AP. Also the Star Ledger called last night to interview my husband.
