  Interesting tidbit from a bethalite

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  so my "bethalite" sister calls me last night for a chat (now i must digress slightly and say that conversations with my sister are few and far between - we have very little to say to each other and any calls to each other are merely out of duty) .

  after all the small talk, she tells me that she was doing stocktake in the tuckshop for a change instead of the usual housekeeping job that she is meant to do.

  i ask her why and she tells me that all the dept's within bethal who keep a supply of products have to do a stocktake in preparation for the big courtcase on friday.

  My sister might be starting a fade.

  over the past two months she has been emailing me jokes and stories that no jw would ever read.

  i ran into her this weekend and she was talking about what she was going to do on her birthday today.

  her language around me is also lightly "salted".

  I really hope that she does fade!! Maybe the lack of love shown for her husband has something to do with it. Keep us updated it's great to have good news on this forum!

  God help me - Just finished Crisis of Conscience

  i don't know whether to laugh or cry.. a friend lent me coc yesterday and i stayed up most of the night reading it.

  it took me 13 hours and i skipped the meeting today to keep reading, i couldn't bear to put it down.. i am shocked but not surprised at how closely ray's thinking mirrors my own in some ways.

  the part that hit me hardest was.... "conviction, it has no meaning or validity unless it is individual, personal.

  I wish I could get my JW family to read CoC. It gets easier to live with. At least you are finding out the truth, not many JW are brave enough to question.

  The 16 sexual abuse cases settled this year

  by WTNightmare00 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am puzzled about two key factors.

  one is the fact that the victims agreed to settle out of court, and two, they agreed to a gag order.

  those two key factors there, tells me something as i am sure it will tell you something as well.

  I wont say what "it" was telling ME, but I find it all interesting to say the least

  Why start a post and then say nothing? If you have an opinion I would love to hear what it is.

  Many victims of sexual abuse do not want their names splashed across every newspaper in town. I can understand why victims would agree to a gag order.

  i don't post a lot so you may not be familiar with me, but feel free to read my initial post on my situation.

  a little has changed - i've now not turned in a service report the last two months (june and july) - first time in 25+ years, it feels great!

  All the best with sharing this info with your wife. Reasure her of your love as finding out that the organization you hve trusted for so many years is devestating as I'm sure you know! I would speak to her about the pedeophile problem in the org. As a woman who wants to have kids I'm sure she would want to do everything in her power to protect her child. Maybe getting a copy of Barbara Anderson's new cd would be very helpful. Don't overwhelm her with too much info. Pick a few subjects that you know she will respond to. Don't show anger or bitterness towards the borg as that may scare her.
