Frankfort, KY. October 8, 1983. I was baptized by my Father. It was the first time I had ever seen him cry. The second time was as he was refussing to walk me down the aisle. You see I married a "non believer".

Am I the only chicken ....
by BobsGirl ini am having a really tough time with fear.
mine is one of the stories on bill bowen's silentlambs site.
i have survived more than 14 years of abuse, left the "borg", married a man that is amazingly supportive and not a jw, sought counseling and recovery, given birth to a newborn baby boy ...... every one of which has required courage and intestinal fortitude.

I am having a really tough time with fear. Mine is one of the stories on Bill Bowen's Silentlambs site. I have survived more than 14 years of abuse, left the "borg", married a man that is amazingly supportive and NOT a JW, sought counseling and recovery, given birth to a newborn baby boy ...... every one of which has required courage and intestinal fortitude. But for some reason, whenever I try to tell my story, or even think about joining in the lawsuits, I feel my blood freeze. What is it? Why can't I take that last final step? Am I the only one who has experienced this? Am I the only chicken out there?

Hey Jan,
Before you go waxing all vitriolic on a girl, double check the screen name. If Derek hadn't busted me, the plan was to bust myself. I have NEVER made claims to have supernatural abilities. You are confusing me with another proud lover :I.
:Until that cheap stunt on Derek, you might have had some credibility. Now it's obvious you'll use fraud to support your claims to supernatural abilities. What is it to you? a publicity stunt?

Funkyderek,
I do not know you. In fact, I am very new to this board and don't know anyone except for Bill Bowen. Yesterday I came across this thread and found it entertaining. I thought about you yesterday, just to see if I could "sense" anything about you. What I came up with was a hodge podge of names and words. They mean nothing to me....what about you?

RE: Wayne and his "As a student of psychology, I can affirm that the incidence of true child molestation is extremely low among Jehovah's Witnesses...." comment.
I am not sure which offends me more, "student of psychology" crack or the "true child molestation" phrasology.
I am curious .... what constitutes a "student of psychology"? How many credit hours are required before you can "affirm that the incidence of true child molestation is extremely low among" any faith?
Also.... what exactly constitutes "true child molestation"? "true" as opposed to???
As someone who double majored in both English and Education I can assure you that the writing style in the WT and Awake magazines suck ... because you see this is my area of expertise. As the great granddaughter a pedophile who did happen to be a child molester, and the first of the FOURTH generation of children he abused, I can assure you that "true child molestation" happens more often than I think God would be happy with if this truly were his one and only "Spirit Annointed Organization".

Tonight's memorial - did you go?
by dmouse inmy wife has just left for the memorial.. just before she went she asked me to come...this was the second year in a row that i declined.
i hated seeing her so sad, i almost agreed to go just to cheer her up but that would betray her in a very real sense.
to go to the memorial would be an admission in her eyes (and other jws) that i still believe deep down that it is the truth.

Hello All,
This is my first post. I have been reading your posts for a while now, but today I had to speak up. I have been inactive for about 5 years now, but this was the first time that I didn't attend the Memorial. My husband was my strength. I had the wisdom NOT to marry a good JW. Instead I married a heathen (good for me, in more ways than one!!!) who told me that if I went he would go with me and partake in fron of everyone. LOL. He meant it too! He gave me the strength not to pretend this year.
I am going to deliver my first child any day now, and my family has stepped up their efforts to "reactivate" me and "convert" my husband out of a need to indoctrinate my child. I love my family, they are good people who have a desperate need to cling to the only hope they have ever known. I am greatful every day that I have found a bigger, more liberating hope.
I am also grateful that I have a husband who is not afraid to scour the internet for so called "apostate" sites and email me links to threads that he knows will hit home. Above all, I am grateful that there are others out there who understand what I am going through without me even having to name it.
Thank you!
PS When is the air date for the Dateline Expose??
