Shame on the people in the society that tried to handle it themselves, shame on the brother/sister that committed the crime and shame on the parents for putting up with it.
i have had to step away from this thread for days to rein in my emotions..... even now i am having to swallow around a lump.....
the ignorant arrogance of this pompus borg apologist is cruel in its intent and unforgivable..... spew the party line and defend the indefensible
*I* am one of those parents!!! i have had to live with the dysfunctional dymanic that erupts within a family that has to live with the reality of sexually abused children ( yes! plural! children!).....it is now a family legacy, a part of family history that will never go away...... shame on HER for the blind allegiance to an institution that puts its public image above and before any consideration of wounded children, wounded families ..... there is no carpet big enough to sweep this under and the more the stepfords defend or excuse.... the more certain a mass defection.....and the judgment that somehow the parents are the ones to target!!.... i pray that the powers that be spare her the horror of the reality she banters about with theororetical indifference

coming to my senses
by chickpea inseveral years ago my hub and i went overseas for a month, and at the time had 4 minor children....... we created a trust fund for the children and after deep soul-searching, we asked a young, (and at the time childless) couple to be guardians should the need arise....that was us being responsible..... the kicker was>>>> we named the wts as beneficiaries should the great tragedy of all family members dying occur....... i have been feeding little tidbits to the hub for the last few weeks, esp the csa issues, as this strikes close to home..... he found silent lambs ..... and not being the research oriented type, he stopped there..... but his distaste for the borg is well established.... .
at any rate, the point is that i told him today that once the dust of the holidays settles i wanted us to change the trust to 1) assign the now 23 yo son as the guardian and 2) get the wts out of our affairs.... and delete them from the trust....... just like the subject line reads..... coming to my senses.

What was the real reason why you joined the 'truth'?
by lfcviking inif you came out of the world (like myself), what was the main motivation why you joined/got baptised?.
was you genuinely disillusioned with the world and all of its badness and wanted real answers to why it was so?.
was you honestly convinced the world would one day be made into a paradise and wanted to be part of it?.

i was very vulnerable at the time i began associating with the borg....... in one of the worst years of my life, my much beloved older brother had died of AIDS and i had miscarried my 3rd child/2nd son at 26wks..... my firstborn son was 4 and asked me about where his uncle and "baby brother" were now that they were dead.... and i didnt have an answer....
i did the " well some people believe this and that..." but i was unconvinced that any of it was true..... enter the borg and promises of resurrection and paradise..... well, hook, line and sinker..... it was a balm to my shredded heart.... and while i STILL am not sure what the state of the dead is..... i now believe that the rest of the crap they spew in terms of how one should live their life is ... well... spewed crap

it is evident that people are interested in truth, and for me the last two weeks on this forum have provided glimpses of truth that have been enlightening and thought provoking, stimulating me to further research and basically cementing my decison to be done with the borg .....

with apologies to john prine:
We blew up our TV threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their ownbecause all of mine are into their teens or beyond, and none have escaped the scourge of the borg that i brought into their lives, i will insert nothing further into their quest for meaning in their lives, except by personal invitation
they are welcome to develop for themselves a personal faith system that meets their needs and offers them a resource and a refuge when those things are necessary in their lives..... after all, the quest is the best part of any mission of discovery

Did being a JW make you overly judgemental?
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inlooking back, being a jw meant constantly analyzing and categorizing others.
on field service, persons were either "sheeplike" or "goatlike".
in the congregation it went even further.

mea maxima culpa!
i was arrogant and judgmental and a total d0uche
thankfully that nasty characteristic is signifcantly quelled.... i very well may still be a d0uche, but at least i am not a pious one

was told by an elder's wife that i was an "asset" to the congregation (i feigned shock and asked her if she had just called me an @ss head... it was rich!).... aux pioneered occasionally, adamant about prep and meeting attendance, did awesome TMS parts, i did turn down an "interview" at a CA (sick mom in very distant state), but still.....
i did have a rep as a hard @ss because i called out a lot of the stepfords on their pettiness and idiocy ..... they truly are socially inept in terms of genuine human interactions
