What really made me angry was him walking into his congregation to cheers !! I would never support any grown adult accused of such a crime without knowing all the facts. Why can't people be smart enough to stay quite until it goes to trial and all facts come out, before standing by someone accused of such a crime? How would they feel if it was their kid and everyone sided with the accused just because he's a good preacher/speaker/friend etc..

Hi Lil.lady,
I agree with think about it.
It's easier to just not talk when your upset, it could get you in all kinds of trouble.
For the first few months after everything hit me like a ton of bricks I actually had to go to the doctor and get some anti-anxiety medication because I was feeling a lot like you are now. It helped take the edge off and I was able to deal with things a little easier.
I'm sorry your going through this right now Just know..it gets better, with time.

Has anyone successfully faded without moving out of the territory?
by NiceDream inso far i've managed to avoid speaking to the elders who drop by.
just wondering if they'll eventually give up in a couple years.
anyone have experience with this?.

So far so good. It's been over a year and a half and the elders out on service don't even bother coming to the door, they send the new ones who don't know us
It's funny we use to hide out when we seen them coming by turning the TV off and making sure we were quite, now we don't even care. The dogs are barking, kids got the music blaring and we're cooking breakfast without missing a beat. Once you stop giving them any power over you, you breath much easier.

And it's very much appreciated LL.
Many of us that are somewhat new to the nightmare of our child being molested have really benefited from you experience and your education. I have taken a lot of advice from things you have shared, including encouraging my daughter to never be ashamed of what happened to her. Proudly, I'm seeing her show that in her life. She was able to comfort a friend in school who shared with her that a grandfather was touching her. My daughter didn't hesitate to tell her and a small group of friends what happened to her and how it's so important to tell an adult so that it wont happen to anyone else. I was so happy to see she isn't hiding what happened, nor was she the least bit ashamed to tell her close friends

Menlo Park (CA - USA) Kingdom Hall
by Juan Viejo2 ini received an anonymous email over at ex-jw.com that had an attached legal filing.
the first couple of pages seemed to be standard legal filings, but the rest of the pages looked like standard typed documentation (not in numbered double-spaced legal format.
) i'm not quite sure what to make of it, so wonder if anyone here has heard of it.

Gayle,
"They lose a few members, but don't care, the WTS gets the money, and free-volunteers to build another Hall. "
Sadly that is so true. They will throw anyone under the bus to protect their image and pocket book.

Wait on Jehovah he'll make sure all those elders who treated to so unloving after your daughter was molested are taken care of eventually. Then look forward to the new system where you wont remember what happened.
