  Intro/fellow abuse survivor

  by jwabusesurvivor in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  im new to the site, as my username implies i am an abuse survivor, it was more then sexual, it was a very horrific type of abuse and no surprise the jw's that were involved were and still are being protected.

  i have found posts here to be encouraging and glad to see i am not alone in my struggle and my fight.. i have a constant struggle/battle with emotional and mental health issues from the many many years of abuse but i am a fighter and try to keep on going, but am so glad to have found this site, it seems to be a source of encouragement :).

  This BOE letter is proof that God answers trial attorney's prayers! There's now even more money to be made. Thank Jah!

  (I'm pretty sure the letter is real. I got an advanced copy a few days ago from a very reliable source.)

  CO Visit this week....

  by MaybeSo in

  so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.

  too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .

  that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?

  Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays are all a celebration of man and wrong . . . but when the CO comes to town, party, party, party! and green handshakes. Maybe being with a white dude helps the Mrs. repress her Latina sexuality more!

  get in touch with Katie Holme's dad. Young love and cults don't last. Just be ready to catch her and provide a safe haven when she wants to come back. THe more he fights his daughter, the more she's going to run to the JWs at this age of 19. JWs are idealistic as are many 19 year olds. Perhaps old dad can impart some knowledge that ideals don't exist and trying to attain an idealisitic lifestyle of knowing absolutely about the unknown future is what drives the JWs to the coo-coo house.

  Are JW's REALLY the cause of people committing suicide?

  by scotoma in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  blame the cult.

  blame the cult.

  blame the cult.. suicide is a very complicated behavior.. mental health professionals caution against assigning blame when people kill themselves.. being disfellowshipped is a life stress and some people are not equipped mentally to handle it.

  I read somewhere that the main causes of suicide for younger people was mental illness coupled with an oppressive/bullying situation for which they see no end. The suicide option is less painless. For older people, it's hopelessness.

  In Oompa's situation, if I remember right, he really lost his relationship with his wife (JW) whom he loved very much. His "friends" shunned him. And, he was a very sensitive person (despite his ugly, tough guy Avatar picture he used). His last posts on here was saying that he didn't see much of a way out.

  Shunning is public hummiliation, which is a form of bullying.
