  Menopause is such a bitch!

  Poor thing must have been suffering a terrible hot flash

  when she spotted that pool of cool water.

  Why couldn't something that great happen all those years I was in?

  They are all right.It's classic depression symptoms.

  It's very common for people to experience depression after leaving a high control group.

  I had the same thing. I went through a horrible time knowing I didn't fit in with the JWs anymore and didn't feel like I fit in with the rest of the world either.I felt like an alien.

  I got help. Meds help some but it is a process that takes time. I have had difficult times off and on. I just never give up and things get better all the time.

  Here is a link from the Mayo clinic with symptoms of depression.

  I am very sorry to hear about this. My sis and mom started shunning me again in Jan of this year.

  They have labeled me an apostate even though I am not DA'd or DF'd.

  I was like you. I had been away from the JWs for over 12 years and off the ex JW boards for the most part of the last 9 years.

  I thought I had moved past the anger and pain. But I got slapped upside the head with the fact that I had repressed a ton of anger!

  I also hate them. I wish I didn't but they are still destroying our families.

  I could tell I needed a support system to get through this so I am back here on JWD. Need to vent too.

  Things can may change with our families in the future.

  Hang in there!

  Rutherford Exposed: The Story of Berta and Bonnie (redux)

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in september 2004, farkel posted an article on this forum called "rutherford exposed: the story of berta and bonnie.

  " his essay, which subsequently was translated into several languages and which received over 10,000 views after the first month, spawned a thread that ran 28 pages and contained the collaborative research efforts of many in jwd.

  this thread was thought by some moderators to be the best in the forum -- not necessarily because of the claims in the original essay but because it inspired a staggering amount of research aimed at assessing the credibility of the claims made in the essay, as well as adding to our knowledge of this fascinating yet obscure chapter of watchtower history.

  I feel the same way.I didn't even bother this time. The Conti story and the facts (court documents) are easily accessed.

  Dang, All they have to do is read the documents to see that Watchtower is lieing to them.

  I used to get so excited when big events happened. Hoping they would wake up.

  I think they have to be distressed even if it's on a subconscience level before they will start view these things without their cult filtered glasses on.

  But my focus at the moment is something in that phone conversation that stands out to me in view of recent events. My mom is talking to me about Bill going public about the Child abuse problem in the Organization

  She says that the Catholic Church has stuff plastered all over the news about child abuse and the fact that the JW issue has not been exposed in the same way means we don’t have anything! She basically tells me we are lying about the extent of the problem with the JWs. I told her not to speak so fast, their day is coming.She kept pushing asking why it isn’t on national news yet and I told her that it has been in the news just not to the extent as the Catholics because the JWs are insignificant in the public in comparison. She said, “ That is not true!”

  Well, I was right their day came! Its been plastered all over the National news.There was Dateline and other shows in different countries.

  The worldwide exposure of their Pedophile problem will continue.

  Does any of that matter to them?

  The truth is slapping them in the face but my Mother, sister and most of the Witnesses will continue think its a lie and defend Watchtower no matter what.

  They just view it as persecution. Blind ,deaf and dumb!

  Learning about the Conti case and that Watchtower loosing the lawsuit will be a last straw for a few who were already beginning to wake up.

  I am thankful that they will finally be free.

  But sad and frustrated for the rest of Watchtowers mental captives.

  WATCHTOWER ASSETS NOT FROZEN FOR TWO YEARS
  
  There have been many comments and some articles written about the freezing of one billion dollars of Watchtower assets following the loss of the Candace Conti court case. Those that have commented on this are technically true in part but in the typical court proceedings this is just a matter of the regular filing of documents to protect the settlement f or the plaintiff.
  
  It is considered a typical move in a court proceeding to freeze the assets when the defendant had yet to obtain a bond to cover the settlement. It was apparent WT did not expect to lose and simply were not prepared for this. So the Judge doing his job made the ruling contingent upon WT obtaining a bond to protect the settlement for Ms Conti. The minute the Watchtower obtains the bond the all assets are free and clear to be used any way they wish. So this looks like more of a procedural matter. WT will obtain a bond in a week or so and the order will in a matter of typical court procedure be removed.
  
  Those are the facts. It would have been amazing to see their assets frozen for two years but in this instance it is just not the case. The point is this remains a major victory for abuse survivors everywhere. Institutions are being called into account for bullying victims into silence and in many instances hiding behind the first amendment as religion. We can finally see the brave efforts of those that have come forward having a huge impact and forcing unethical and immoral men to face responsibility for their actions. Thanks to all that speak out and help others to know they are not alone.
