MEMORIAL SHOCK!!!!--- Part 2
by african GB Member ina few days ago i started a thread about a "brother" who is climbing jw corporate ladder in the speed of lightning...he was only baptised recently, but already "anointed" and therefore partaking..... well, at this year's memorial we were subjected to an emotional showoff...his wife cried her lungs out as he partook....apparently she is upset at the fact that they won't be together in the new system, because he will be in heaven and she will be on earth!!!.
a lot of people in our cong were also touched and almost half of them were in tears....i have to say that it looked so convincing that even the worldlies will think that this is the truth....

I hate to attmit it now, but I loved it. I thougt that we had the truth and that everyone needed to hear it. After learning the truth about the truth how stupid was I. Yeh do you want to come to the Kingdom Hall and maybe have a pedophile hug your kids. Yeh we have two in our hall, but no one knows nor am I allowed to tell after all they have been cured by Holly Sprit. How can you invite someone to come to that. The pedophile are the most out going would't you know it. I think the elders love that too that way they do not have to meet the new ones let pedo's do it for them. It makes me sick. vs77

The idiocy of accepting new people to the KH with no background checks!
by restrangled injust recently before the book study was cancelled, a young man started coming into my mom's home for the same.
she was alarmed and asked the elders, to please have him go to the kh for the study.
they ignored her worries and he continued to attend at her home.

I know in my hall they do not in any way shape or form to know the background of someone new. We had a pedophile move in that I knew for a fact was a ture pedophile. Boy did I get HELL for knowing that. I went and got his court records and if I thought I was in HELL before it was nothing compared to what I went through after I got the records. I was dumb enough when I got them that I thought the elders would believe me. No they just got really made. Said they did not want to know this pedophiles past. Did not want to know he was even a pedophile and the hall he came from did not tell the elders either. They just want to know someone from the day the come into the hall they do not want to know anything else about a person. It truly was the eye opener I needed to know that this is not the truth.

Has anyone lost a friend or known of someone who committed suicide over BORG-induced guilt?
by Alpaca ini am not going to use any names for this because i don't want to cause potential hurt to anyone.. there was a very nice family in my congregation when i was a teenager.
step-dad, mom, and her 4 kids.
the dad became an elder, had a great business, the mom spent lots of time with the kids.

I think that a lot of JW's think of suicide but do not talk about it. I have never done anything at all wrong but I have been called in the back room and ripped into many times for things I have not done just because of petty gossip that the stupid elders truly believed. This happened especally when I was young. One time the elders just knew I was smoking and they would not let it go. I never smoked never wanted to and this really offened me but the elders drug me in the back room many times. The last time they were so rude. Pointing their fingers at me telling me I was lying. I was so hurt, till this day I know they never believed me. I still wonder why??? I have still never smoked.
Yes I have thought of suicide especally when you truly believebecasue the elders are so not kind. I came from abuive parents who put me down and the elder took over where they left off. You are never good enough do enough. It truly makes you feel like scum.
I am on the way out and right now it is hell. So I can clearly see why suicide would seem like the only way out to many.

As a JW Did you Feel you Could Fully Trust the Elders ?
by flipper ini know for many of the 44 years i was in the jw cult from birth - i felt i could.
or should i say i was conditioned to feel that " i should " trust the elders.
as jehovah's witnesses we were all told the elders were " crags in a waterless country " who would be a " spiritual stronghold " for us.

I found out, you have no defense, they make you second guess yourself, because they have the uncanny talent of always turning it on you. They have it in there heads, they don't answer to you.....you answer to them. So it is always a lose....lose situation.
That is so true. I do not and will never trust an elder again. They turn it on you in a heart beat and make you feel like you are in the wrong. I was even told by the CO in November not to even read the WT and Awake on child abuse but to just think happy thoughts about my past abuse and trust the elders to handle the pedophiles in our hall with Jehovah's help. Yeh right trust the elders. What a joke!!!

Yes for smoking which I never did and they threatened to df me with only one wittness. I have never smoked in my life. It was very hard on me I was only 18 and being threated with dfing for something I did not do was so crazy. One elder put his finger in my face and told me they would find proff they knew I did smoke. I just looked at them like they were crazy. They were so hateful. Why I did not leave than is beyond me now.

As a JW were You Told to Not Report or Be Silent about Child Abuse ?
by flipper inas most of you know in 2002 barbara anderson and bill bowen were on the dateline program which revealed that child abuse victims had been theatened with disfellowshipping from the jehovah's witnesses for reporting child abuse to the police and authorities .
and this actually happened to many victims and their families for standing up in behalf of the safety of abused children !.
most here are aware of the out of court child abuse settlements the wt society made with 16 witness child abuse victims in 2007. a gag order was placed on victims so they would not speak of their experiences with the media.

Yes
We have two pedophiles in my hall. Long story on how I found out. I am not allowed to tell anyone. I did write to Bethel and ask them why and how this can happen. You guessed it no real anwer came back. What I wrote is I can understand what Paul meant at 1 Cor 6:9-11 I can understand that people can come from really bad backgrouds and with the help of Jehovah make huge changes.
But with pedophiles it scares me. Like an alcoholic who wanted to serve Jehovah would not buy a liquor store to live in and come to all the meetings with an open bottle of booze in his bocket. A chain smoker would likewise not live with tlbacco and carry around a pack of cigaretts in his pocket. If a brother or sister did that the elders would never believe that the person was truly trying to change, and going out in field service would not even be a question. Yet with a pedophile a person can do that because it is his family. We somehow look at it differently. The problem is that it is a worse crime than somking or drinking could ever be.
This one peodophile has been able to find three sisters to marry him two had small children. It is a long story and I have faught and am still fignting to make sure but what do I know. This pedophile was D'fed when he left the one woman but he found sister throwing themselfs at him to marry him.
I live with the valied threat of being D'ed if I tell anyone he is a pedophile and I am an elders wife.
Yesterday this pedophiles wife and him threw a baby shower how sweet was that. I was there waiting to take pictures if he touched the baby but he did'nt of course not. I was going to tell the baby's parents but I found out they already know and they fell he is cured. I did tell one mom of a three year old girl and she went right to the elders with what I had said and I got into trouble for cause divisions in the hall and this mom after that let her child sit with the pedophiles family.
Wittness want to be blind to the facts. They do not want to see it. I just can not believe it.

Repressed, Triggered and Recovered Memories
by Big Tex infirst of all, let me say that many, if not most, of my memories of abuse and early childhood were recovered.
some people feel that this diminishes my experience, or in some way denies what happened.
i suffered from major depression and was quite suicidal for 2 years before something happened to trigger my memories.

When we were frist married I would wake up every night screaming and screamin about being traped in my parents home and my dad was always in those dream trying to kill me or trap me in my childhood home. I never have known what they ment and finally the dreams stopped and now I only have them evey couple of months. But I know they mean something. Thank sharing you story.
PS I have depression so bad it is unreal. I have had for my whole life but I truly do not know why. Funny is it not that you can be so depressed in Jehovah's loving care.
