    Hi Nathan. I will not edit my message because of the fact that these two people ADMITTED to the accusations. I didn't lie. I want the world to know of what they did so that no one will let their children around them.
    The school is still located in Phoenix, Arizona if you want to look it up for yourself. It is called New World Education Center. It is ran by Jehovah's Witnesses. You have to be a baptized JW to work there. By law, they cannot prevent "worldly" kids from attending. But it is known as the Jehovah's Witness school and most "worldly" parents don't want their children attending. Therefore, the children attending are almost always JW's children. The years I attended, there were only two non-JW kids attending.
    Why in the world would I make this up?????

    Jacinta,

    Your account has the ring of truth, as far as I am concerned. The pattern of abuse and cover-up is part of the "modus operandi" common among many JW's, and it is sad.

    As a previous poster said, there have been a few who have made false claims out here, to get sympathy or attention, and that makes many on the board wary -- looking for a weakness in the explanation before accepting it.

    But I hope you will acknowledge and appreciate the amount of support overall you've received on this thread.

    Take care, and hope to hear from you again.

    Well, I guess I'm not too old to learn a thing or two...
    Please accept my apology for questioning your experience. I left the WTS almost 30 years ago and did not know that they had these schools in recent times.

    Thanks for sharing your heart breaking story.I hope you are successful in pressing charges against your abusers.

    I know you are telling the truth about the JW school because I knew JW kids in the 1970s who went to one in Arizona.
    I remember being jealous because they didn't have to face the persecutin that I did in my elementary school in Texas.

    ChiChiMama,
    I just wanted to say hi and that is the cutest chihuahua! I have a chi named ChiChi too! And one named Chimi (named after my favorite mexican dish, chimichanga). I also have Sydney, Jala and Chloe-my babies. They are 4 months old now.
    Off topic, but I LOVE chihuahuas!

    Naaaaaaa, dog owners never think it's "off topic" to talk about their pets. I have 3 dachshunds myself - cutest ones ever seen!

    Btw, welcome to our forum and sorry about your experience. I'm not familiar to jw schools, but then there's a world I don't know about.

    Hope you stick around, good people here, along with the normal dorks. I tend to belong to either group on occasion.

    Glad to have you post here again, Wasa.

    waiting

    my fist time.
    my wife was abused by her stepfather who is now an elder in the JW.
    she is going to new york to confront him in front of his peers. my wife lived at Bethel for a while when she was young-she often referrs to it as both weird yet wants to see it again.
    as a child she wrote leeters to the "socoiety" about her abuse and she never got any answer.
    any advise for me to help wife. i doubt that Bethel will do sqwat!
