Mouthy - Without getting too personal, can you answer the question posed earlier? How did Cynthia react to the whole situation? Was she discouraged with the organization before they took steps to have Ray removed? I've also wondered about that. - Nellie

Cried myself to sleep last night
by unique1 ini was laying in bed and trying to drift off to sleep.
all of a sudden i had a vision of my father building our dining room table.
we moved when i was four and this was at our old house so i must have been pretty young.

Scream when Raped...
by KW13 inthought i'd bring this up again, i found it on the watchtower library and thought it was extremely annoying how they can say rubbish like this.. rape has become increasingly common today.
a major reason seems obvious.
sex and violence explode from tv and movie screens, from radio, newspapers, magazines and billboards.

Let's see if I can get this right . . . From what I remember, a girl who "was in the city" was told to scream - because not doing so would mean that she consented since calling out would have gotten her help. But a girl who was attacked in the "country/woods/fields" was not held to this standard because there was no one to help her. That's why she was to call out for Jehovah.
Reasoning on that - it makes me wonder how the girl who was raped in the fields felt when Jehovah didn't strike her attacker down!

My Story
by LearningToFly inhello fellow forum members, i am very new here, and feel it is time to share a little about myself.
this site has gotten me quite riled up again, and even after many years my experience is not memorable and still upsets me when i think of it.
my beginning experience of joining the jw organization at age 6 was not unpleasant at all, and was not for many years.

I've heard the saying "Success is the greatest revenge" - in many cases I think it's really "Happiness" instead of success. Having survived all that you have, your goal now should be to find happiness. I wish for you the strength to learn from the past, a find a way to move on from it's pain, and happiness.

Yeah, the setup for the site is creepy indeed - but the content that I've seen is dead on! I had never seen it referenced here before and thought I'd share. The "Bedroom Laws" section is a definite attention getter!

What has Worked for You When Trying to Reason with Witness Relatives?
by flipper inhello folks.
a loaded question for sure.
after being out of the org.

I hate to agree, but I must. The best you can hope for is to plant seeds of doubt. I remember 10, 15, 20 years ago when my brother (who was never a witness) tried to reason with me about doctrine - I wasn't ready to listen! Nothing he or anybody else could've said to me would've made any difference. Believe it or not, it wasn't until an elder told me to disregard something from the watchtower that I questioned - that I realized I COULD disagree with something that came from the society. That was probably the turning point for me. But that was at least 10 years ago.
Plant seeds of doubt - that's my advice . . .

How Would You or Did You Leave The Organization??
by minimus inby choice, with a little help from the elders, faded slowly, disassociated????
how'd you get out?

Like others, for me it began to all be too much. Raising four kids, partially caring for my mother, trying to work part-time and being a wife took about all the energy I had to give. So I began missing meetings . . . the more I missed the easier it became to question why I was in. I decided to give myself permission to look for answers and found JWD - that was truly the beginning of the end of my belief in the organization. I shared my discoveries with my husband (who already was gone in his heart but had never really discussed it with me) and we decided that we were going to spare our family from more deceit. We're not DAd or DFd - but haven't been to a meeting in over 3 years. For the most part, they leave us alone and we're happy about that.
From beginning to end, it took about 5 years - I guess that qualifies as a slow fade.
