  Is this abuser a pedophile or messed up victim of abuse

  by LearningToFly in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've been trying to figure this one out for awhile now, it's something i have let go and dealt with but i do have some questions regarding it now.

  when i was seven, i had an older jw female cousin who was thirteen who forced me into sexual activities.

  she used threat of bodily harm as her way of forcing this.

  Curious? Are JW's allowed to have kinesiology done on them?

  by LearningToFly in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the icky leech thing got me thinking on other practices that may or may not be forbidden as well.

  i recall long ago now, hearing that kineseology was considered wrong, but i also knew of a sister who studied with me long ago who both she and her husband were childless pioneers, who also spent a considerable amount of time as bethelites telling me that she used this as a medical healing practice, but that most jw's considered it wrong.

  she at the time said it was really up to ones conscience, but now its got me thinking?

  Just Read the Silent Lamb website.. sooo Disgusted!!

  by LearningToFly in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i finally found my way to the silent lamb website, and am at this moment shaking with disgust and anger.

  i know from experience that the organization covers up child abuse issues, and protects the abusers.

  i just hadn't read anything like this before.

  My Story

  by LearningToFly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello fellow forum members, i am very new here, and feel it is time to share a little about myself.

  this site has gotten me quite riled up again, and even after many years my experience is not memorable and still upsets me when i think of it.

  my beginning experience of joining the jw organization at age 6 was not unpleasant at all, and was not for many years.

  by LearningToFly in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i am a newbie, and havent technically introduced myself yet, other than resonses to a few posts, but will do so in a post soon.

  for now, i am very interested in opinions/theories based on the nephalim, fallen angels, and their possible connection to the gods of greek mythology.

  i've been doing alot of online reading on this topic again and there is so much to read it boggles the mind.
