  I don't think he would outright tell the elders because he is an apostate. But, I think he might tell his brother who might tell my brother who might tell the elders. I'm not sure. We are just WAYYYYYY to close for comfort...

  Well, I know he knows because I didn't realize that certain info was public. Sh*t. I didn't put my last name in but I think he has a good idea its me...

  I wrote him back, "Depends. Do you have a big mouth?" Waiting for his reply...

  for me, i think it was time and the realization of the idiocy of the beliefs and man made doctrines.

  i just couldn't ignore it any longer..

  There were a lot of little things but the biggest thing for me was studying with an annointed brother before and after a lot of the meetings. He taught me how to read the bible.

  His first actual assignment for me was to read Mark chapter 1. Honestly, I think he's an apostate and he knew exactly was he was doing having me read that chapter. At the end of the 1st chapter it shows how the sabbath was created for man, not man for the sabbath. Out of that I immediately questioned the blood issue. It was only a matter of time at that point...

  Thanks OTWO. I tried doing what I thought was best back then. Going to the elders. I eventually got a restraining order and pressed charges. The charges never went anywhere though due to lack of evidence. Even though he had admitted the abuse to the elders, the elders didn't try to protect this poor girl from him and they wouldn't go to the authorities with the information they had. They let him become a publisher and get baptised even though only a few months had passed after I pressed charges. 6 months to be exact. 6 months and they let him because a publisher. 13 months after charges were pressed and they let him become baptised.

  I actually did try to get in touch with the girl to warn her. I even had an Elders blessing and encouragement about it. I found her email address and tried to warn her. I never heard back.

  The Elders in my hall were horrified that the elders in his hall let him become baptised. One elder said, "He is going to have to answer to Jehovah for his decisions."

  I remember he wanted a baby. That baby would have been completely different then the baby I have now. It would of had dark skin, probably brown eyes, and probably a head full of hair. Not to mention it would have been totally messed up because of the relationship I was in.

  Now I have an extremely happy blue eyed, almost bald, light haired baby girl with a great daddy! I'm so grateful for the way things turned out. I really feel bad for his new wife girl though...

  i figured i'd start a thread on this because i've noticed especially with women they really beat you into submission.

  so, i thought it would be good to talk about how to handle different situations without arguing.. if you have any ideas on how to handle the following situations, or have any other scenerios to add, please share!.

  1. the elders want to have a sheparding call.
