My Borganization Story
by Frannie Banannie ini was 28 when i got borganized....i wish i could remember the names of the sisters that studied with me....one of 'em's name is barbara, the other one was a pig...guess they're not that memorable....but the plano congregation had not been started when i first got baptised or it had *just* been started in 1973....my best sis friend was carolyn nelson, a six feet tall sis with two kids, harris and april....i was really dumb and married the first elder that asked me....it was a total flop of a marriage, his teenaged son caused all sorts of problems for us.....i "ran away" from it and went back to the "world" for a while....i suppose because they hadn't gotten the "worldliness" out of me very well at the time....when i returned, they publicly reproved me and we divorced....his name was bob repp....he was an elder in the white rock congregation....i can remember a few names...the farmers, steve scott and his lovely red-headed wife, but that's all i remember..... .
then i moved back down here with my older two children, where i was raised and later went back into the borganization....i moved to california in late 1988, got in an auto accident in late 1989, and everything went downhill from there, borganization-wise...i had seen so much cruelty from the platform....even a p.o.
who graphically and sneeringly described explicitly...the sights, sounds and smells of alleged sexual acts between two pioneers, as he disf'd the pioneer sister, while she sobbed her heart out in front of the congregation and only reproved the pioneer bro.....made me wanna hurl....the elders treated me like a meadow muffin the whole time i was in cal.

LOL, Big T and Nina! D'ya know what? Mr. Beaujangles used to watch me when I went to the bathroom....he was just about 4 mos. old....I always left the lid down on the commode when we left the apartment so Mr. BJ wouldn't drink toilet water....same apt. you're talkin about Big T...and one day I came home and Mr BJ had left a "deposit" on the neck of the toilet just behind the lid...guess he'd been studying what I was doing on it....<shakes head> I've always wondered what he woulda done if I'd left the lid up, but sharing a toilet with a dog or cat is a road I have no desire to go down...<grins> I simply LOVE Bassets....Mr. BJ ran off one day when the boys took him outside for his "constitutional" and they chased him but couldn't catch him....I got another one later....a girl...named her "Plumply"

Actually, Chris, it was in 1974......and that *was* us....I went by my first name, Noel, back then...and my older son's and daughter's names are Jay and Kellie...we had a Basset Hound named BeauJangles...do you remember that? Yeah, Bob was a "trip" alright....I couldn't do anything right....I felt sorry for Van and Jeff....they were so attention-starved that they seemed to have somewhat hysterical personalities....highly excitable....I really liked 'em....it was Bob's 16-yr-old that gave us so much trouble....he wasn't with us till we moved to another complex in Garland....Bob put on a pretense of affection in front of others, but in reality, he would come home and close himself off from everyone in the fam....what a hypocrite....glad I got outta there, even if it took a long time....and everyone here is SO nice...I'm already lovin' it here...<grin>

Northern Girl, an even keel belongs on a flat-bottomed boat, which twhacks ya around when the waves get rough....and nausea occasionally is a "given" on the roller coaster of life...<smiles> but it's nothing one can't survive...

looking for consolation
by leslane inhi everyone, i'm new here as of today!
well, having some issues and thought that you all might be gracious enough to offer some insight.
i am a lesbian, have come out to a few friends.

Frannie Banannie
Leslane, I hope that this situation doesn't come to crisis dimensions, but if it does, cher...just remember that you can contact Child Protective Services and they *will* back you....so.....you can obtain support from the Lesbian/Gay Support Group and you have backup with CPS....and all your new-found "buds" here on this forum...there's no way you can't get thru this...Hope you don't have many years to reach the magic age of adulthood....If it becomes too difficult for you, another way to go would be to seek emancipation.
Hugs,

Body over them not allowing my youngest son to get baptised...we wrote back and forth over a period of 3 months, until the Gov. Body told me they really were too busy with the publishing and preaching work to bother writing to me any more...this was after I wrote them sound scriptural proof why they had no scriptural reason to deny my son's baptism and valid scriptural proof that *their* criteria for baptism was scripturally unfounded...the local elders accused me anonymously of "nepotism" from the platform, because I backed my son in his quest for baptism....my son worked so hard to get baptised....he was 12 at the time...and one morning he had asked a cong. elder for a ride in field service....the elder assured him he would pick my son up....my son stood out in our apartment complex parking lot, in the cold, freezing rain for over an hour...without a coat or a jacket....and when the elder finally showed up, the elder had left his great big showboat of a car back in the KH parking lot and squeezed himself into a compact car with a buncha pioneers and drove up and told my son they didn't have room for him....my son came back to our apartment grief-stricken and sobbing....his heart and his spirit were completely broken....he never recovered from it...I'd finally had enough and got up the nerve to reproove *them* by late 1991....I did so, New Year's Eve and sent the letter the first of January, 1992....I knew it would get me disf'd, so I began warning those close to me to get away, so they wouldn't be harmed by any fallout....It took the Gov. Body six weeks to enforce a disf'ing against me....meanwhile the cong. elders, to whom I had given a copy of the letter I wrote to the G.B., "visited" me, and gave me hell for it....I wrote them a letter the week before my disf'ing and threw their stupid scriptures in their faces, embarrassing them so much, they were white-faced, red-faced and ashen the night they announced my disf'ing, while I sat front row and center to receive it. Even after I was disf'd, I carried on my scathing letter writing to the Gov. Body and about them and along with the scriptural proofs of their unscriptural doctrines, sent letters to branch offices all over the world....I remained isolated from any friends and fam for about 7 yrs. till I found Ex-Jws online in 1999....7 years later after my dif'ing....so here I am...and it sure is a pleasure to meet everyone here....yall have been such fun folks to meet...I will love getting to know every one of you...this is such a fun place to be...
