  I got to see first hand what Titus doesn't believe, when my daughter was molested by a trusted JW not too long ago :(

  We were treated horribly after we went to the authorities, stood up in court and had the molester who molested multiple victims(JW's) convicted and sent to prison. Sadly he was never disfellowshipped..still don't have any idea as to why the hell not!! But, could care less at this point.

  Happy to be free from an Org that cares more for the molesters then they care for their most innocent of sheep. I would rather be lonely at the moment and to start my life all over then to spend one more day with those who would sacrifice a good family in order to not look bad.

  Why Did I Allow My Hopes to Get Raised?

  a couple of months back, my son asked me to get in touch with my jw/elder father.

  he is planning a trip to colorado to visit his mother's family there, and thought it would be good to see his grandfather.

  since i have no contact with my father, i asked my cousin to broach the subject with him.

  I would say..knowing you as I do....As a God of Love and Justice. I knew you would never accept or approve of the lack of love and the lack of spiritual Justice my child received from the shepards after she was molested by one of there own.

  I sure hope not! They are early teens and we are fading out...hopefully, they will live their own lives and be who they should be and not who we tell them to be :)

  I never could be one of those people that talked badly about those who were gay. I have always been one of those people who asked why, before I judged..and like some who commented already, I was raised around kids who at the early age of 4 and 5 who didn't fit in with their gender. I played with boys who just loved dolls and never touched a dump truck. I knew girls who would have rather died, then put on a skirt! I watched them grow into who they were and yes they turned out to be gay and I didn't care and still don't care.

  I do think it's a trend with some, but I have known too many to know that for some... it's who they are. Just as I am, who I am.

  Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

  especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

  i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .

  Wow! Nothing they do shocks me anymore...

  I'm happy you have a good attitude about it. I'll do the same if they come after me.

  As I have told my sister, if they want to get rid of me they will do it themselves...I owe them nothing.

  I bet you feel as if a weight had been lifted off you

  Standing up for myself, a lonely stand

  by troubled mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have learned in my life that i am the only one i can trust to stand up for myself .. many times i wished others would have 'had my back', like when i was seven and my favorite teacher committed wrongful contact with my class....we didn't know the term pedofile back then , and children were not taken serious when they made complaints about teachers .

  i wished my mom had been more protective and saved me from some ugly situations .

  i knew at 10 yrs of age that wasn't going to be the case .

  I hear you troubled mind!! I feel you fustration...I have had many of those same conversations with my husband as well. It's hard to be the only one to stand up and say enough! In the way we need to be done!

  Just a few years ago when our daughter was molested I wanted him to drive over to that creeps house and kill him with his bare hands! I wanted to see him turn into some man I knew he wasn't..I married a man that was a kind, calm and controlled... everything I so loved about him I suddenly couldn't stand! It was the hardest thing to face and it very well could have torn us apart at a very horrible time. I had to remember I can't expect him, to be me. The truth is there could only be one of me in a relationship :) I'm the emotional, vocal, do it now person! He's the let's think about it, don't be rash person.

  I always enjoy your threads,

  (((hugs)))
