Here's the link to JJ's thread and Mimilly's experience. Be sure to read Mulan's post there also, AND DakotaRed's comments. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=37671&page=1&site=3#509732
Is Plum crazy or does it just sound that way? Puh-leeeeeze. How do you KNOW the account is "NOT substantiated"?
How dare anyone suggest an abuse survivor should NOT speak of the FACTS of THEIR OWN PERSONAL ABUSE. How dare all you Doubting Thomases. I might as well be on a "real" JW board... this is becoming nauseating.
GOOD ANSWER MIMILLY! I join you on the side of ALL -- yes, ALL Abuse Survivors who will NOT "pretty up" their stories to SUIT the lot o' you who don't want to hear such accounts. Right ON, Mim, about WT-thinking still on their brains, such as: The WT likes to "pretty up" things also to keep EVERYONE FOOLED. "How quickly they forget."
Personally, I don't give a rat's behind whether the media likes Pat's story or not. If it helped Pat in her healing to COME OUT OF THE CLOSET, I am all behind her. And for the 4th or 5th time tonight on various threads, you doubters obviously have NO FAITH IN BILL BOWEN EITHER. You guys who didn't go really missed something wonderful. On second thought, I'm glad you weren't there. Your attitude could have spoiled the atmosphere. Sheesh! Let me go find the rest of Larry's photos, to reminisce the FANTASTIC LOVE & BONDING that was in the air the entire weekend!
