by bytheirworks in

the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .

the scriptures they are using to support this:.

the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

Easy way out.

His victims and their families will forever be effected by his actions, I was hoping he would suffer everyday until he died of old age.

My heart is just sick for you right now because I know what a dark place your in:(

To answer a few of your questions...

first, NO when we went to the elders about our 9 year old daughter being molested by a brother ( ex elder) we received no help. Instead we were in my opinion victimized yet again.

Later after watching us suffering one elder let us know they were " told to stay away from us." Nice, right? Talk about leaving a wounded family to tend to their wounds alone.

We did have our daughter go to therapy which she really didn't like. We have since been watching her closely for when she's ready to talk to someone again.

Our son is seeing a psychologist and I have been in and out of therapy for the past few years. Yes we are a bit messed up but we are strangely happy at the same time :) Leaving the religion was key! Now it's time to do whatever we need to do to have a new normal!

Just know, you will have your ups and downs but you're stronger then you think. The more you reach out and the more you feel you are doing something to help others the stronger you will get.

JW upbringing - the gift that keeps on taking

by Simon in

the things they take from you:.

first they take your childhoodthen they take your familyfinally they take your memorieswe all know that you limit your social interactions so you have few school friends who are not jws.

they openly promote this in their magazines and it's repeated at meetings throughout your formative years.

Yes, I feel all of those things!!

I just wish it was all a bad dream and I could wake up with a normal life.

Slam, very sorry to hear of your horrific childhood.

Thank you for sharing your story. From what I was told by a tharipst, there is much healing in speaking up.

'the defendant was found guilty of two charges of indecency with a child and six of indecent assault after a trial.
