I might add, pedophilism is not a mental illness. I am sorry about how he grew up, without any outside professional help evidently, but I hope he gets the help he needs to learn what he can do not to offend again allegedly. Remember that the victim now has a slew of emotional issues to deal with their whole life.

19Another one bites the dust
by stillin ina close-by young brother, actually your basic, garden-variety, sexually-repressed, 40-year old virgin in the congregation has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
i've known this guy since he was a kid and he has always been strange, in a nerdy kind of way.
he always wants to sound knowledgeable and wise when he comments at meetings, but i think he is bi-polar and depressed about who he is in life.

The reactive mind vs the thoughtful mind...
by RayoFlight2014 ina thought came to me as i was posting on another topic.
my reactionary mind, responding to watchtower's cruel and hostile treatment of genuine truthseekers who can no longer reconcile with watchtower's narrative was, " may the collapse begin".. but then my thoughts turned to how that would affect my parents and siblings who are blissfully oblivious with their collective heads in the sand.
all their hopes and future joy has been postponed for decades awaiting paradise while fighting off the black dog that is depression.

The way most of my family (other than me) have gotten out, is to die. So far from my generation 3 have left and not come back. Their children are definitely out, never in. Fortunately the 3 still in have not had children, and the 2 on the edge, none of their children have ever been jws.
It seems that the 3rd generation is not jws.

As a JW Did You Prefer a “Stricter” Congregation or a More Liberal One?
by minimus inin my experience, there were three types of witnesses.
some were barely witnesses while others were extremely conservative types who followed the letter of the law.
and then you had those in the middle who just went with the flow.. i knew many witnesses who “felt safe” being in a stricter environment.they were actually proud that they belonged to such and such congregation because it was filled with strict bethelites..

What can a therapist really do?
by Thetruthhurts inhi all, i've not read the forums for awhile as i've been trying to move on with my life but i'm back and posting for the first time feeling like i cant get a grip.
so i'm wondering for those of you that have seen a therapist and say that it truly helps, what can be accomplished?
i'm just really skeptical, but starting to feel desperate.

I think seeing the right kind of therapist could be helpful. The best one I had had been a survivor of a cult herself.
You might find this woman's books helpful, Bonnie Zieman, she is an ex-jw and a qualified, professional therapist herself. She has worked with Barbara Anderson on the WTS abuse situation as well.

Actually, Rutherford left it all to Fred Franz and did not get involved in the interpretation of prophecy.
Yea I can picture Mad Freddy and boozer Rutherford sitting around and attaching "meaning" to some of the crap in Daniel and Revelation
