Whew...where to start......First of all the head Elder of the Kingdom Hall I attended in Pennsylvania as a child, was a HUGE Alcoholic and nothing was ever said or done about his actions. When I would visit at his home ( his daughter was my friend) He used to grab his wife by the hair and call her "woman" and demand her to "listen to him" . Imagine that..... a innocent 6 year old child watching the head elder of her congregation throw his wife down the stairs. Beat his children. I remember spending most of the time hiding in his daughters closet sweating perfusely being so scared. I was there to play with his kids...but instead it was always the same, him drinking, yelling and mistreating his family. I remember a member of the hall being dissfellowshipped for smoking a ciggarette..but our head elder could be an alcoholic and be the same man who lectures the congregation 4 nights a week? I had no choice at that age. My religion was chosen for me. But now I control me...I do .....with the help of god ....not a group of abusers and alcoholics who want me to follow them.

The big D can you help??
by brutusmaximus ini haven't been to the hall in quite some time even though all my family are still in and i see some of the witnesses from time to time.
i am not disfellowshipped and don't intend to be as i don't see why they should have the right to stop me talking to my folks.
however one of my friends has just had the big d and is now regretting it.
