Ok I just found this site from a friend who has been angry for a while on her wasted time with the JW's. She showed me this site and your post as my first look. I too was raised as a JW and what a wast of time it was.
I have to say I was shocked at your post and happy at the same time. I have been away from the JW's for about 8 years and am a single parent of a now 17 year old son. I live in Vancouver BC. Your affair is nobodys business. If anyone needs o be guilty it is the person that is supposed to be in "the Truth". Let it go girl!! It is part of their tatics to make you feel guilty. You should actually repot this "brother" to the police for battery and charge his ass for assault. (I work for a organization for abused women.) Sorry for the bad typing I am not used to lap tops.
Move on and let this wrong religion die. I have my own big story of why I left, however, please for your own sanity charge the Mother Fu**er. He probably will assult someone else and get away with it cuz that is what they are taught to do (hide abuse issues and leave it in "Jehovahs hands") what a joke! Let the "elders know AFTER you report the abuse to the police.Write a journal of all the abuse including the days and what was said and what happened. This will be admissible in court if you choose to take it this far. Get away from this religion ( i was baptised and just walked away after 23 years - wooooohoooo!)
