I'm sorry heartbreaker. Do you think you would ever say something to them?
I will make a follow up post to this. Although it might take a bit of time in putting all my thoughts together to present to them...

36I need help in facing our abuser...
by cognac inthe thought of it scares me so much i can't even think straight... just writing this makes my heart race like you wouldn't believe.. i need to face my dad and mom.
my dad abused us, my mom allowed the abuse.
i need to face him with my two older brothers - the ones who got it the worst and who never faced them about it.... i know my mind will go blank so i'm simply going to write out what i have to say and read it to them.

I know my mind will go blank so I'm simply going to write out what I have to say and read it to them. I'm going to say how it affected me, how I see it affecting some of my brothers and sisters, and that my mother is just as much to blame.
I'm going to give them a chance to try to explain. I hope out of all this for us to have some closure and healing.
I will also bring up the JW thing. I will keep that part of it brief though. I will say how I don't know how to believe the JWs as a true religion when the abuse never seemed to affect there conscience and how they never felt the need to have a JC. How my father was the PO during all this and nothing was done. How in recent years the holy spirit supposedly reappointed him even though he did these things and nothing was done about it. I will say I that I've been told Jehovah will take care of things in his own due time and I believed it. But, how could Jehovah reappoint you through his holy spirit when this was never addressed?
Anyways, what are your thoughts or suggestions on approaching my parents?

We are switching halls...
by cognac ini think that means that we are going to go to even less meetings and just generally have less to do with the jws because the hall we are at now is where all his friends are... unless somebody tries to take him under his wing and screws everything up.... btw, this was his idea.
thoughts?.

Most fades eventually get noticed by family.
That stinks cause my family are not the types to let go of things...

If you can have same scanned somehow, I would surely include them of course - at least if that is legally allowed (I'm not exactly sure about US regulations.)
Anybody know?

if the Society were to lose their 'charitable status' because of their teaching their followers to shun family members, they'd get 'new light' on the subject pretty quick.'
Are there any updates on this???
