Some physical abuse here but my brother bore the brunt of it.
My mum has told me her parents used to adminster soap suppositories to them as children.
i wonder how many posters here are not only in recovery from spiritual abuse (jws) , but other traumas,, such as sexual and physical abuse,,, or rape as a young person (ie, child or teen).. .
how many of us are recovering from double - or triple - trauma ... ?.
anyone want to share?.

a few years ago my 21 yr old firstborn and only son died in an accident.
i was an active jw at the time.
in fact , i was at the meeting when it happened.
This passage from In Search of Cristian Freedom gives an account of Fred Franz's words at his nephew's funeral. Shocking really.

Fantastic.
is it really possible to continue as a jw but not believing in it anymore.
for how long can one keep up with this pace of life?.
i will appreciate it if any scientific study had been done on this and what has the result showed?..
Faded...so far!

I think a more pertinent question would be: How long can one continue as an unbelieving JW and avoid mental instability?
just before i stepped off being an elder the local congo were buying a piece of land with a building on it to convert (no pun intended), into a kh.. .
one of the things as i understand it was that they were going to have a flat for the co in situ but report to the local authorities that it ws just a janitors flat.
apparently if the council knew it was for the co it would be unacceptable for some reason.
They have to pay some sort of tax if anyone lives on the premises.
i was reading your story on freeminds.org, but for some reason it doesn't finish.
it stops at the part where you say that you traveled a lot for work and missed quite a few meetings.
there's nothing after that.......
ROFL dozy!
