Even if you did, that's between you and the law and/or God. And parents are supposed to stand with their kids in times of trouble. What could your son do to make you turn against him? Think about it.

My family just found out my grandfather died...6 months ago!

yeah thatnks jw step grandmother bitch.

i can't believe that she would not call her step sons and let them know their father had passed away.

my father is a jw also and my little sister sees this woman at assemblies and she didn't bother to call anyone.

Your step-grandmother makes the perfect jw....a master manipulator. She is in the same category as the child abusers and wife beaters that run amok in the organization.

Elder Involvement Graphic pages 9-10

elder involvement graphic ... pages 9-10. .

today i added to my blog pages 9-10 of the 13-page submission by a doctor of psychology that is a watchtower appointed elder.

he had ideas about elder involvement with jehovahs witnesses suffering mental illness, and particularly victims of child abuse, and thought it best to share these with watchtower.

The more I read these documents, the more I realize just how evil the Watchtower Society is. The gb had quality advice/information from one of their own, yet they chose to not only ignore it, but go against it.

I'm sorry we missed it. My brother and I talked on the phone about the meet-up whukebhe was driving from your house to mine, and we continued until the wee hours of the morning once he arrived here.

I've been doing some research and will message your Mrs. on Facebook tomorrow.

Edited to add: my brother is a great guy! I'm so glad to have him back.

I noticed that the writer referenced a November 1988 Watchtower that addressed "severe" abuse being a reason for marital separation. That's strange, because in December 1988 the elders in my case tried to bully me into staying in a marriage where my jw husband not only confessed to beating and strangling me, he was also forcibly committed to a mental hospital by his own doctor and a judge for threatening to kill me.

hi, long time no see.

i am finally out of the borg.

had a talk with an elder-friend-family member today who said i should just do it if that's what i want to do, and my wife says if that's what i want to do that she's fine with it.

I hope your wife finds the compassion that her family seems to lack. Good luck to you.

elder involvement graphic presentation.

today i uploaded a new article to my blog that begins publishing a 13-page submission by a doctor of psychology that is a watchtower appointed elder.

he had ideas about elder involvement with jehovahs witnesses suffering mental illness, and particularly victims of child abuse, and thought it best to share these with watchtower.

Being that this brother wrote these documents in 1992, I wonder how he could remain a jw. Everything he warned the gb about has come to fruition. It seems to me that his professional advice was ignored and continues as such right down to this day.

lol!.

next sunday is the wt discussion of the infamous july 15th study article "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?".

i am pretty curious to see how the congregation comments on the material.

Serenity, I see you're FB friends with Graham Huff. If you contact him, tell him Isaid, "Hello!" He's crazy, but he's such a dear man.
