  Have fun in jail!!

  Well I understand that everyone has a right to believe however they want, however wrong they may be!

  They should know they can't break the law! Find another job or shut up and stop imposing your religion on others!

  this may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.

  i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.

  she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

  So glad you were there at the right time! You did a great thing.

  This is a great reminder that although some of us have beaten up by this religion or just life itself, we can still reach out and help those in pain and offer them hope.

  The elderly sisters are at it again.

  awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

  and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

  i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

  That's great! I love that they are testing these men out and simply changing what they can without a big fuss.

  I think for most that it's not about the money, it's about standing up and forcing the WTS to take accountability for their horrible policies.

  Sadly, it isn't enough that many are leaving over the way they mishandle abuse of children, so the one way to get their attention is to drag them into court and hit them where it hurts.

  1. Money

  2. Public exposure

  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

  So sad! When untrained men take it upon themselves to interrogate young girls about sexual things they are crossing the line! It's abusive and dangerous!

  It would be hard to believe if I hadn't sat with my 10 year old while the elders interrogated her for over 2 hours:( Yes, sadly I didn't stop it, I was a weak humble sheep having no idea what we in for.

  I truly can't understand parents staying in the religion after seeing how dangerous it is first hand.

  Anyone who has been through the court system knows how very slow it moves. I wouldn't expect any results for at least a couple of years.

  I hope each and every case that is filed is successful. The victims really need their voices heard and to feel vindicated.

  greetings to all, i am new to this site and am enjoying the topics.

  briefly, my family suffered my older/deceased brother's molestation when he was 13, in the congregation.

  to this day, my mother still defends the elders that dealt with this situation.

  It's utterly disgusting to me when mothers choose their religion over their abused children!

  I did the opposite, completely supported our daughter even if that meant looking bad to the elders and congregation. Of course it lead to us leaving the religion and therefore loosing everybody we knew including close relationships we once had with family.

  While it's been an up hill battle I don't regret it for a second.

  Well she struggles with trust issues and effects from the abuse she also knows we have her back and will help her anyway we can to get her what she needs to move forward.

  What woke you up?

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.

  Child abuse issue. My daughter was molested by a trusted JW.

  You can probably guess how well that was handled!! You can't look back after going through all that.
