We had one of those elders who always welcomed those entering the KH with a big hug, especially the kids. Turns out he was a child molester!!

Our teenagers first Christmas tree
by truthseekeriam inwe had fun putting together our first artificial tree last week, it came out so pretty!
the lights and cheap ornaments just add to it.. we have been careful to close our blinds at night to avoid our jw neighbors from calling in the elders, that worked for a few days until we decided to go out for an early dinner and yes, i forgot to close the blinds!
as we drove up to the garage door i could see the tree in the front room and started to freak out a little.

Faithful Witness,
Good question, I haven't really thought of any family Christmas traditions yet, sounds like a great thing though.
I would love some suggestions :)

Don't forget " perfect sister" who always feels the need to straighten your kids tie or move the tiny hair that's out of place on their head.

Not for myself but more for my husband who really isn't the confrontational type and wasn't to keen on the whole tree thing in the first place. I apologized to him and he just looked at me and said " I'm not worried, what right do they have to visit us now after ignoring us for so long" I was so relieved that he is moving past the fear he once had :) By the way, he loves the tree and said maybe next year we'll buy a real one!

i am vocal visible apostate with a transgender kid i support publicly and i am getting HUGGED in public by an active witness; WHY??
by chickpea inmy initial withdrawal from the cult about 5 years ago or so, was as a fader, but now there is no doubt i am so over the cult, having publicly sat on the board of the local pflag chapter!
my bumper stickers declare don't believe everything you think and stop the violence; legalize marijuana (also a generic pflag sticker)... i am out and i aint coming back and i denounce the cult as a cult, i never call it anything else... .
today at the local food co-op a congregant saw me and bee-lined it over to hug me!

Jehovah’s Witness elder arrested for sexual abuse
Posted on December 10, 2013 by WT LEAVE A COMMENT
A man serving as a Jehovah’s Witness elder minister in Oklahoma was arrested on 19 counts of sexual abuse, according to authorities. Authorities said they had received numerous reports of other children being molested by Ronald Lawrence, 76 years of age, from more than 30 years ago.It is believed, according to Lawrence’s arrest warrant, the Kingdom Hall church where Lawrence was an elder, chose not to inform law enforcement of the abuse. Authorities said that if the Jehovah’s Witness church withheld information from authorities that they too could face criminal charges.
There is evidence the Jehovah’s Witness organization was aware of a problem that took place back in 2005, yet he continued to serve as a clergyman for the sect.The arrest took place in late November.

"A sister might attempt to rationalize forming a romantic link that ignores God’s directive to marry “only in the Lord.”
I feel so sorry for the women stuck in this religion!!

I'm taking lots of notes and continue to appreciate all of your comments.
I did a quick search of the Therapist I visited and sure enough it did mention he can provide therapy within a faith based Chistian framework.
After sharing some of your thoughts with my husband I really think I will keep searching. Thankfully our insurance covers quite a few in our area :)

I really appreciate all of your thoughts. I think more research on my part wouldn't hurt. I certainly wouldn't want to put myself back into a vulnerable situation.
This is really hard!
