A big thank you to refiners and beck for organizing and holding the apostafest, i wish on behalf of my new husband and i to apologize for the wreckless behaviour of my brother and sister, they are a fine example in how wild people can get after they leave the troof, it was a pleasure to meet all of you people....
James my new husband had been very cheesed of with the sect as he calls it but meeting you guys made him feel very welcome and i thank you for that, he fit in so well... i still dont know how i got that blue tongue though, did someone spike the drinks?

Observations on a bunch of Ex Dubs
by refiners fire inperhaps i could have put this in the "apostofest" thread, but i didnt want it to get buried and unread.. a load of melbourne ex witnesses rolled around to my house yesterday for an "apostofest" bbq.. i must admit i was a bit..apprehensive.
fact was, i didnt know any of them.. total strangers really.. would things be strained?
would people have nothing to say to each other?would it, in fact be an embarrassment?.

MANDATORY Reporting of Child Abuse
by silentlambs init appears there are a few misconceptions when it comes to the reporting of child abuse.
the federal law child abuse prevention and treatment act (capta)(jan. 1996 version), 42 u.s.c.
failure to report can result in civil liability.

This is a very painful subject for me, i had my 16 year old daughter at the police last night because she remembered something that had happened to her when she was 9, this sick individual who was her uncle and who did fellowship with the witnesses apparently had been doing this for years, in fact he abused my niece, the issue i have is that the elders knew of his "past" that he had abused before in the congregation, it was swept under the carpet, and not even the family were told, so i had this twisted sick person living under my roof, not knowing that he was even capable of doing such a hideous thing, and why, because the elders did not report it, and did he do any jail time, no, why, because everything had been hidden for too long, and now i have to try to explain to my daughter why i didnt protect her from this animal, if only they had spoken up years earlier when it first occured none of his other victims would have been victims at all.

Hi cici,
Welcome, and let me agree with the majority saying that the wt has a lot to answer for, but especially the men"elders" who get to play god with so many peoples lives. -

How much $ did you give for CD's, books etc?
by expatbrit innow i know money is a touchy subject, so if you feel discomforted by these questions, don't answer!.
remember those articles that basically said "some have asked an appropriate amount to contribute for items such as the cd, bound volumes etc.
this crap usually sells for $x in the shops."?.

Hi Sally, i know exactly how you feel, i too am disfellowshipped and know the suffering you go through losing the only friends you ever knew, coming to this site has given me some comfort to know that there are others like us, i too hate going grocery shopping, i actually travel a bit so i dont have to run into any witnesses, they have no idea about our lives but follow the elders so easily about shunning us, if you ever need to talk feel free to email me
