  ONE pedophile and TWO victims per Congregation

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  "sadly, though, most [pedophiles] go unpunished by authorities today.

  in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.

  other lands have had a similar record.

  My husband and I and our adult daughter are "inactive", and we are being shunned by JW family and "friends" no differently than our adult son who is DF'd. My JW in-laws want nothing to do with their infant great grandson.

  Yes, we were free to leave, but not without repercussions.

  RC: an emotional trigger?

  by sparrowdown in

  is this rc triggering any painful memories for anyone else?

  .

  for me, it's stirring up all the emotions of what it felt like dealing with assholes like this.

  I am taken aback by the level of anger, rage even, that I felt at the beginning of these hearings. Interestingly, in the years before my exit, my husband repeatedly pointed out that I was an angry person. I denied it and continued to to repress my painful cognitive dissonance.

  I think experiencing this anger while feeling validated by the kind and competent men conducting the procedings has been tremendously healing for me. With my indoctrination blinders off, I can see these "shepherds" for who they really are-- very small, clueless and deceptive men.

  Sparrowdown, thank you for your insightful and often biting, yet hilarious commentary!

  Contacted by Royal Commission today

  firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.

  no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.

  it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.

  umbertoecho, it sounds like the Royal Commission is doing absolutely everything to support you, listen to you and maintain confidentiality. This is what the elders are supposed to do and abysmally fail to do. As others have said, you are so very courageous. I am sorry that you are exhausted and depleted. I wish you peace and happiness.

  Beautiful! I'm so happy they got out when they are still so young!

  They emphasize building love and trust in your marriage before trying to discuss TTAT.

  They also show how taking time away from the meetings and indoctrination helps open the mind to TTAT. I know this was key for me.

  C0ntr013r, greetings from the USA, and thank you for all of your hard work! The hearings don't start until 8 PM my time, so I would not have direct access to the information without your huge efforts. Please take care of yourself and get adequate rest!

  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  Grandchildren pay for the sins of their parents.

  by Bonsai in

  2. beliefs

  my wife's mother just related to us an interview she heard during the recent three day convention that she just had to share with us.

  a brother and his wife have, for over 20 years, shunned their daughter because she ran off and eloped with a worldly guy.

  while openly sobbing, he related how difficult it has been to shun his daughter and avoid unnecessary contact with her and her family.

  My in-laws have shunned my husband for over 30 years. They have shunned our children since they left the organization, and they have made it exceedingly clear that their brand new baby grandson "has nothing to do with them." They don't even want to see photos. They will get their wish.

  It's called "deceptive recruiting", a method employed by cults to hide their true practices until it's too late.
