I am not looking for sympathy, it just really hurts, even now.
I just DON'T get how people can hurt kids and NOT GIVE A DAM'N!!!! How can they be sooooooooooo BLIND??!!!!!!!!
I am fighting back the tears right now, cause I stayed with Heidi Meyer in MN when she did her first press conference. I met Amber as well.
Staying with Heidi and talking with Amber, was healing, but also hurt. I hurt cause I know what they have gone through and still live with. I can't do anything to fix or change any of it, but I desire SOOOOOOO much to do so. Not only for them or any others, but for myself as well.
The only thing that gives me comfort is KNOWING I will do anything in MY power to prevent this from happening to my son. I have educated him since he was 2 yrs old about sexual abuse. I have explained it in a way that even at 2 he could understand (or at least I felt he could understand, given the feedback he gave me).
I told him if ANYONE "touches" you in a way that makes you feel "bad, uncomfortable, weird, uneasy, etc", whether it is ME, my husband (at the time), his grandmother, babysitter (if I would have one), friends, ANYONE..............TELL SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they don't believe you TELL SOMEONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!! But I told him he could ALWAYS TELL ME and I WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can't imagine NOT doing anything to someone who hurt my son/child. I would be on a RAMPAGE and be willing to KILL anyone who "touched" my son!!!!
What I don't get is HOW in the HELL can parents NOT do SOMETHING about this??????
Ok, I am done venting for now, I just had to get this out.
I know you all understand where I am coming from. If you have ever been abused in anyway, you know what I mean.
It just PAINS me sooooooooooo deep, I still, as an adult, can't see why my father, and my father's family don't see this as a BIG problem.

i just saw dan rather on tv, and he said it would air about child abuse in another promanent religion!!!!!!!!!!
it will air at 5:30 central time, adjust the time to your area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya, I agree, It was a bit short, but the point got across.
Dan Rather, whether you like him or not, is a very known and watched news reporter. I can just imagine how many ppl saw this.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No prob 7, just hope nothing earth shattering gets in the way, so it won't get postponed again.
CBS thought it was too much to air on Monday.

This just in from silentlambs...............................
The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather is set to air the story of Jehovah's Witnesses and their
child abuse policy on Tuesday-04/29/03. The piece should be around three minutes long (forever for
nightly news)and will present the issue clearly.
As with all major network news a major story could cause it to be pushed back, so hold your breath
and hope for a calm day news wise Tuesday. As of 8 pm this evening it is set to air and the
network is promoting the story this evening with their major programs. They are simply saying, "Watch
the news Tuesday for another religion with child abuse problems." or words to that effect.
This is big and will create further media exposure. While Wt takes every cheap shot they can and
tries to pretend there is on problem, the truth continues to ring true.

so what helped you leave the jw's?
curious.
for me it was the itnernet and reading coc.
One word................Abuse.
I left at a young age.........15.
I decided at the age of 12 I didn't believe in the JW's anymore. It took me 3 more yrs to figure out how to get out. I got myself df'd on purpose cause I was tired of it all, which later led to my first concussion given to me by my abusive father.
For me it just sealed the deal, I would never return, and I haven't and never would.
This board has been very healing for me, I have learned I am not alone.
