I will make the call right now.
But the elders are calling soon, if I say anything what should I say?
Adonis, i strongly encourage you to tell your therapist everything so they can help you get through it . I was abused as a child ,not molested and never had counseling and now i have terrible flash backs that send me into deep depression. This something you have to unload and get help with to deal with or the flash backs will set you into a deep depression.
I agree with other posters ,call the police or get a attorney and not confront the jws because they will make it all out that you are a lier.
Blondie, did this happen to you? Did you have any success bringing anyone to justice?
Adonis, tell them you have contacted an attorney and were told not to talk to anyone .
Adonis, I am so sorry for what you have lived through. I doubt the elders will make you feel anything but humiliation & shame contact the lawyers and the police no one will help you in the wts.
you're a strong person for coming out Adonis. my condolences for what you went through.
and a warm welcome to the board. :) and there is good advice in this thread for you already.
Adonis read this thread if you have not already the stories are so similar.

The statute of limitations had run out in my case. In another case, some years ago, I used my leverage in the legal system to get the BOE/CO/DO to do something. The most important thing to know is that the congregation will care nothing about you, just protecting the congregation's reputation. So contact Love and Norris. They have a lot of experience dealing with this and they are the legal experts. Wait until you talk to them before talking to the congregation again. Okay? Blondie
More than likely, they are going to believe an elders wife over a disfellowshipped person!
