  Introduction

  2. experiences

  hello i am relatively new, reading a lot of experiences here for a while.

  i’m born in and baptized but i moved away from small town to a new congregation in big city so i have a good opportunity to fade now.

  all my good friends are worldly and my boyfriend.

  Well actually Giordano now that you mention that last part I had an experience as a little girl where my JW relative sexual assaulted me. Turns out many years later he did it to more little kids and was going to jail cause their parents told. I have no idea if the elders knew about it long ago, no one probably told them. But I could use that as a stumbling block.

  
  
  if elders come calling--why dont you just say your lawyer has told you not to talk to any jw's as there is a lawsuit pending with a probable multi million dollar outcome.
  i doubt they will be back

  hi there this is my first post as i’m not sure what to do.

  my family (both sides) are well known in our circuit and very dedicated to the truth.

  but we’re relatively normal people and i love them all so much.

  hello C/S 79...welcome to the forum. i was about our age when i made the same decision. that was a long time ago..

  firstly

  "my family (both sides) are well known in our circuit and very dedicated to the truth. "

  nope--it aint the truth. its merely a high control scam masquerading as a religion.

  if any one man elder wants to visit--and starts asking nosey questions--just say you had a very bad experience as a child with an elder--but you cant do anything about it because of the " 2 witness " rule........you wont see him again--for dust.

  unsure about the 2 witness rule ? plenty of info on here.

  Active JW's - Does None of This Bother You?

  by The Fall Guy in

  thanks to atlantis and his sources, we are able to examine material from the alleged "faithful slave" which is intended only for the eyes of the shepherds wolves in the congregation.. information needed for visit of circuit overseer .

  all congregation accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used and the records for any additional accounts being kept by the congregation.

  (do you have excess money which should have been given to us?).

  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  ok--well the man i referred toobviously took legal advice--it was a serious allegation after all.

  now--heres the twist. the court would probably find in favour of the accuser--and he would get a lengthy prison sentence.

  his lawyer advised him to plead guilty--and save a lot of time and stress all round--and receive a reduced sentence in return.

  this he did. he was released from prison within 3 years.

  i talked to him after his release--he went back to his old job. none of us believed he actually did it--the accuser was being malicious and vindictive.

  which begs the questions:

  was he innocent ?

  was he guilty ?

  did he plead guilty--knowing he was--to get a shorter sentence

  or did he plead guilty--knowing he was innocent--but also knowing the balance of probability would find in favour of the woman--and he decided to play the odds?

  and finally--what would you have done in his position ?

  the above really happened--i worked in the place 3 years--and his name was Mike.

  a major problem with this issue in the UK is people who claim they were abused as children--by well known public figures--politicians--actors--entertainers etc. it can destroy such a persons life--career--reputation etc. even before the court case.

  in the really controversial cases--there are NO "2 witnesses"--just an allegation from one person against another..and who's story do the courts believe ?

  i knew of one case--although he was in no way famous.

  this was 25 years ago the man accused was the care taker of an industrial complex. he and his wife had previously been foster parents to several kids. one of the kids--a girl--after a few years alleged the man had abused her whist she lived in his house

  he denied it

  who do you believe ?

  i must have dumped a small fortune in old watchtower rubbish when i cleared my old dads house out.

  why anyone would any of it--for free--beats me. even the watchtower wouldnt want it.
