  just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.

  of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.

  " i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

  They can mark me whatever they want, as long as they stay away. 😀

  The wife seemed really interested and not at all shocked by what I had to say...makes me wonder if it was a JW that molested her as well? All I know is they both will be a little more careful with that precious little boy of theirs.

  I asked her husband if he was an elder and he said no, so I told him to ask his elders if there is any molesters in the hall and see what they say. I hope he does. He seemed a little more surprised by what I was saying, so hopefully he'll do a little more research.

  after describing apostates as being "mentally diseased" apostates may soon have good gounds for describing jws as being "mentally diseased", according to this news story.

  Of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them." I almost just walked away from the door when I saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.

  I opened the door and smiled and said Jehovah's Witnesses? They respond with a smile and nod. I said we wouldn't be interested in anything you have to say. Which of course lead to...what is it that makes you feel that way?

  Big open door! I said the recent TV broadcasts talking about the child abusers cover ups. The male of course speaks up and says that's a misconception, we don't cover up child abuse. I looked him and his wife straight in the face and said really? My daughter was molested by a ex elder so I personally know what goes on. Of course that floored them and they started backpedaling saying well things are changing and the female starts up about the message from the governing body member and the new Caleb video. To which I responded that I have been keeping up with what's been going on and watched that video and explained how the kids need to understand it could be a brother or sister in the hall or a uncle or aunt at home and not some scary looking monster as they portrayed in the video. They seemed in agreement and in fact the woman seemed very emotional as was I she asked if she could give me a hug which I agreed to and she whispered in my ear that she had been molested as well. I told them I truly have nothing against them but it's their leadership that needs to make changes which envolves them warning parents if their is a child molester in their hall. I looked at her son and said they need to keep the children safe. They both were very respectful however the male asked my name to where I smiled and said I have no interest in having any elders come to my home and in fact I would appreciate if they put us on the do not all list, we are trying to move on with our lives.

  I'm sure I not remembering everything but it I felt good about it. Let's hope this doesn't send the elders poking around.

  On a side note, my son was leaving for school when he said the group was all looking at our house and pointing..ha ha.

  My introduction and confession

  well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.

  i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.

  i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

  please give reasons for all the lurkers.

  and why does shunning show the same attitude as the pharisees?

  Because it ruins the relationship you had with those you shun or those who shun you. Once you show conditional love, it's over! It changes how you feel about each other forever.

  Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?

  it seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.

  i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

  What a bunch of BS! It makes me so angry that even when their backs are against the wall and they feel they have no choice but to speak about the elephant in the room they still don't do the right thing.

  What they have personally done to my family by their stupid policies are inexcusable! The way they question young victims is inexcusable! The way they treat you after you go to authorities for justice is inexcusable!

  Let's not mention that stupid cartoon where a huge monster is the bad guy...seriously people??? how about showing the real dangers, you know the brothers and sisters they spend most their lives with! I have no hope they will ever fix what's so obviously wrong within their org. Instead they will do as little as possible and call themselves on top of the issue💩💩💩

  It's refreshing to be treated with such care and respect isn't it possum? My daughter and I had the same experience with the prosecutor and victim advocate that handled the case we were involved in. It's complete opposite of how the elders that supposedly loved us treated us...so much for worldly people being evil.

  I'm happy you are able to bravely speak up :)
