i've only been once at the meeting for the memorial, and i don't think the doors were locked if they had been, i would have feel even more anxious!!!) . but what made me feel ill at ease, was the elders walking around us all meeting long, like if they were checking if we were attentive enough...

Were the doors locked at your KH, during meetings?
by JH ini remember a time when the brothers locked the doors during a meeting.
if you arrived late, they had to come and unlock the door to let you in.
i also remember a time when they weren't locked.

the JW approach to sexual abuse
by spopeislandstyle ini was molested by a brother in my congregation when i was nine years old.
when i told my mother she went directly to a family friend and respected elder to seek advise.
a couple days later, he and another elder made a visit to our home and questioned me for hours.

happy to read you again... (and happy you feel at ease here!) If you need to talk, don't have an hesitation, post, we'll be here. But it can also be a good idea to have some counselling, as Joyzabel said,maybe it can help you to live with that difficult past.Have you ever thought about that?
