Rep. Foley
by Alpheta inmaybe i skipped over the posts and if so, i'm sorry and you can delete this thread.
just wondering if anyone else has seen the similarities between the allegations swirling around u.s. congressman foley (rep. florida) and allegations made by victims of sexual assault for years in the jw congregations.

I'd like to introduce myself
by Alpheta ini'm "alpheta".
i've been reading here for the past few weeks, but have visited from time to time over several years.. short history, i started studying in 1993, was baptised in 1996, and succinctly and with much planning disassociated myself in october, 2003.. i don't believe i have any lasting psychological damage or issues, but i was curious about the state of the wtbts (or whatever they go by these days), and i found your site and a lot of information that, i have to say, i found shocking at first like - oh my goddess, they really did that?
- kind of thing.. anyway, nice to have read your posts and i really enjoy the sense of community here.
