  Great new book

  by Jankyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i just finished reading leaving the saints: how i lost the mormons and found my faith by martha beck.

  beck is a regular columnist for o magazine (oprah's mag).

  the book details how she survived sexual abuse in her home (at the hands of her father, a big-shot mormon scholar), and how she eventually left the mormon church.

  Thank you for the review!

  I saw her on (I think) Good Morning America and she said he is the Presiding Bishop of the LDS church. Right away I wanted to cuz it sounded like the WT.

  I have freedom to think and make decisions based on my own conscience instead of what I'm told by any religion. It's great being able to use my brain!

  I don't feel guilty about not living my life around an org.

  I now concentrate on life rather than death.

  2. beliefs

  when i looked up the un website & found the wt as a ngo i told my wife.

  she implied that it was an apostate site.

  i told her 'i typed in united nations' , how are apostates going to hijack the un site?.

  She implied that it was an apostate site.

  That's what she's programmed to say. Anything against the wt is "all lies and apostates...and apostates lie", though it's really the wt that lies.

  I sent the same link to the two ladies who conducted my study. Of course, no reply. But that part of the email, I wrote:

  We're warned of the UN being the wild beast yet it was ok for the society to be a part of them??!! Library purposes or not, it's no excuse to be a part of them yet preach otherwise during the talks and magazines.

  This is from the UN's website...not an apostate site. http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosectio n/watchtower.pdf

  I doubt if they even looked at it, but I'm glad I sent it to them. Courtesy of the UN!

  my wife is getting baptized on the 19th.

  there is nothing i can do or say to stop it.

  we have 3 children, and i am from a broken home, so i can't imagine divorcing.

  When I was studying, I was told the only spirtitual endangerment from my husband would be if he tried to prevent me from attending meetings.

  *Edited to add: I was told by several people this would be reason to divorce him!!!!

  I hope you'll keep your kids out of that environment and give them the normal life she will be forbidden to do..like birthdays and holidays.

  She can't leave you as you know. For a while, I was frustrated with my husband for not attending the kh w/me and not wanting to become jw. The so called friends from the hall constantly shoved down my throat, "win him without a word" verse, which kept me thinking if I was a good jw wife, he'd change and become jw, too. Well, it wasn't happening. He refused to have anything to do with any religion. I felt like I had to make a choice between the WT and him. I chose him. We spend a lot more time together now.

  I was happy that he let me take the kids w/me to the hall, but that was unwise on his part since he didn't know the extent of jw's like I do. Although they're small, I wish I'd never exposed them to it...hopefully their curiousity won't get to them later on in life.

  As I said before, celebrate everything. It was easier for me to keep on with them since I never had the pressure, or joy of having celebrations for our kids or cooking a holiday dinner.
