  My JW friend just read Crisis of Conscience!!

  2. friends

  i have recently been in fairly regular contact with a long - time jw friend who, despite my da status, decided to put our 25 - year long friendship before the shunning doctrine.

  she has visited me, discreetly of course, several times, and has read on jwd and other sites when she has been here.

  she recently watched some of the child abuse videos on silentlambs, and all she has seen has caused her to doubt the truth of the wts, after 45 years as a baptised jw, with many of those years spent regular pioneering.. it was the local dc a couple of weeks ago, and she only went for half a day, and missed the rest of the sessions, and she hasn't been attending all of the meetings lately either.

  Well done Linda,

  You have proven to be the best friend she could hope for if you saved her from that religion.

  Hopefully, she can keep this momentum going.

  it is amazing what can be done when there is a support system in place.

  even when that system is almost totally verbal alone.. last night i told my dh that i was not content to just be an apostate but i want to do anything and everything i can to expose them and i have chosen to do this using my real name.

  i followed that up by saying that there might even be some threats against me.

  Dansk,

  OMG, I looked that area up on the net...ok, I'm in love!!!!

  My sister is scottish through her dad

  I am irish through mine.

  Is it expensive in that area? Does it ever snow?

  I have to find a spot that is not to hot-lupus and not too cold- fibro... starting to sound a bit like Goldilocks here, huh?

  Yes, DH is husband.

  My current status is married since 1988. Currently preparing to seperate and divorce. Then hopefully move to a distant point and for the first time start completely over amid glorious strangers. Alaska? County Cork, Ireland? Time will tell.

Ok, that last part about threats was over the top but I did it for a reason.He does not tolerate stress and is very fearful. Very, very fearful. It worked. He has decided to go to the apartment that will be emptying in a few weeks.( If I am ever successful at getting the people in it evicted!!!!)

  We spoke about him going there in the recent past and he had agreed to go for a couple of weeks to give a break to our situation... but I guess now it is going to be permanent. I think that it is finally over.

  Guess that the proper response should be worry and sorrow but instead I have energy this am!!!!! The knot in my stomach is looser and my jaws are more relaxed even my hands are not shaking.

  Thank you friends . You are kind and honest.

  With that said I will try to keep my personal melodramas off the board for a while.

  i know we are all very excited ( and yes we are thinking about the children) about the the latest developments in the cano issue.

  we are talking about about a little insignificant religion in the world.

  Dateline was very inclusine. This could actually open up the the information regarding pedophilia world wide in their files and inside the computer system of the org. itself. Every congregation has to send the results of all JCs there . They will see how many admitted to committing pedophilia and because of the good attitude were allowed to walk away laughing. Plus all the other ped. cases and the threats to the victims.

  Wouldn't this be a good time for each of us to contact the police their individually and tell them that there are thousands of instances of child abuse on record in Bethel? Also these cases were in many states so wouldn't the FBI be interested?

  Please, is this a good idea and would anyone else be willing to join me in this.

  I am back. Spent the day with a client and doing a bit of strawberry picking... a super place to sit and think.

  I have come to this site so many times today and read and reread the posts. Itsallgoodnow your words are true. My sil called today and talk with my dh. He tried to explain what her purpose was and I went off like a rocket. After my snit he said that although hehas to work Saturday so he can not help she and her hubby have offered to go ahead and do all the moving of her dad . A great burden being removed from my DHs shoulders. ouch

  Time for some self reflection and perhaps a good therapist. Good suggests on that one as well guys. Think that I will follow through on it.
