The new contestant is a former JW and spoke fairly extensively about her experience growing up and how she was abused by the organization and raped by someone in her congregation.
Anyone notice "Road Rules" on MTV tonight?

WoW!! No I missed that. Which coast are you on? I'm on the West Coast. Is it the new episode, or a re-run? I may still have time to check it out

Yes, I saw it. It was a surprising event, considering that the MTV production and editing crew has 24/7 worth of footage to air, that they would put this to air. I know Burnim-Murray has production credits but I wondered the value and worth of this info from the new member to the viewing public. I give full respect to her to sharing the personal info and only hope she can gain more strength from identifying her experience rather than identifying herself as a victim of the JW organization. To place such events in the past, allows us the freedom to move forward.

I think it was a key point for them to include. A few years ago on the Real World show they had a girl who was Mormon, and was going to be kicked out of her University for participating in the show. Unfortunately they focused on her religion, and she soon became a spokesman for their religion. I think it's about time they cast a girl like this one. I often thought it would make for an interesting character. And I liked the way they showed her as responsible, already set in a career, more mature than the rest of the cast. I dont think they painted her as a victim at all. I liked how she was pretty much matter of fact about things too.
Thanks Armistead for sharing this info. I had enough time to check out the show.
