Hi everyone, stumbled across this forum by chance when looking for more info on Fred Titanich. I am an ex JW, I am 30, and grew up in the 'Truth'. I am a 5th generation witness, my dad was an elder, my mum a regular pioneer. I was baptised at age 10, and have also been a regular pioneer. However after being sexually molested by a ministerial servant, and then getting reproved because of it at age 13, I started having my doubts. I stayed in the organisation until about 5 years ago, when we had exhausted all the contacts, all the people within the organisation and had finally heard from a Bethel representative himself, in person, that they were sorry about what happened to me, but refused to admit a mistake had been made, or that anything would be done about the elders on my judicial committee, two of which are still serving as elders, and the third is a special pioneer. That was it for me.That and the fact that my ex-husband (Who is still also a witness) was found to be into child pornography, but the elders in his congregation were great friends with his parents, so I was told not to be stupid, and it was all in my head....... And after finally, slowy opening my mind to the fact that maybe it wasn't the truth, maybe the are not the only true religion, I noticed all the mistakes they make in their teachings, the contraditions. Unfortunately my family is all still in it, still 'steadfast, unmovable' and I doubt I will ever be able to get through to them. On the bright side, I am not disfellowshipped, merely 'inactive' so we still talk. Where do I go from here? Is anyone else at that point? And how did you feel when you realised that you werent in God's one true organisation? I will admit it has hit me pretty hard after having spent my whole life being taught it was. Up until recently I still felt that it was Satan putting bad thoughts in my head to beleive anything otherwise. Sigh.
