I never thought about it in that way. I was 18 at the time. Is there a statute of limitations on sexual harrassment? I will look into this as well!

Thank you all for your advice and input. I will take all of your thoughts into consideration. I guess for me this is something I have to do in my heart. If I can help change the way people view this cult and maybe save folks from being recruited...isn't it worth it? If I can change the views of even a handfull of the 'brothers & sisters" get them thinking for themselves....I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try right? It's going to be an uphill fight but a fight I am willing to take on. How can a few hundred or more people be ignored?

What is going on at the world headquarters? Conference call Saturday May 23
by koolaid-man inwhat is going on at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses?
in the last couple of years unprecedented changes in policy, procedure, and doctrine have been coming forth in rapid fire sequence.
this uninterrupted episode of new information is beginning to backfire for the rank and file witnesses.

homerovah, you make some very good suggestions and I appreciate everyone's input GREATLY!!!! Thanks to all of you!
I just want to add that I do not intend on pursuing this alone. I want to get as many of us involved in this lawsuit as i can. It very easy to ignore 1 person but it wont be easy to ignore a few hundred maybe a thousand........

Welcome and thank you for sharing your experience. Listen to your gut...if is doesn't looke like cake, taste like cake or smell like cake....guess what? It ain't cake!!!
Seriously though, I had it easy so to speak...I was Df'd going on 17 years now. I think it would have stayed a lot longer had I not been given the boot since my family is all JW. It's hard to want to please so many people, it's hard to not want to hurt anyone. It took years for me to realize that I don't need approval to be happy. I am living this life for me and not my family. Once I fugured that out, the weight was gone. It is not an easy road you are about to take, but man is it worth the ride.
Love and happieness to you my friend! Stay strong and keep your mind open!!!!

http://www.icsahome.com/infoserv_articles/levy_lawrence_prosecuting_exmember_suit.htm This gives me hope...
Also it is my hope that if we get a group of at least 100 or so ex jw....it could work.

Let me sumerize my story for you..... I was born and raised in the organization, baptized at 13...it was the "in" thing at the time. At 17 I became pregnant and was disfellowshipped the day after I graduated from High School. I truly believe I was given the boot because I would not answer the elders (3 of them total vs just me) dirty sexual questions. Mind you my mother could not be present because I was 18. I was disgusted by their behavior. I had never spoken to anyone about sex including my own mother. They did not care how uncomfortable I was they just demanded answers to their nasty questions: What did I do sexually with my boyfriend, how did it, what positions, where, how many times, how did it make me feel? Horrible!! I did not answer but instead chose to stand up for myself. Needless to say I was disfellowshipped for “having a bad attitude.”
At the time my entire huge Mexican family was zealous in the organization. I knew that I would be shunned and not allowed to go to family functions. My family was my life. I was so distraught I contemplated suicide at 7 months pregnant. My son was the only thing that saved me. I endured years of not being invited to family functions, including my own brother’s wedding. I suffered depression and anxiety for many years. Just he other day my grandmother who raised me decided to end all communication with me because I was questioning the rules JW's have on child molestation, making me feel outcast all over again.
It will be 17 years ago in June that I have been disfellowshipped. I know that my story is not a unique one and that there are several EX-witnesses who have suffered the same pain. We have been slandered publically within the congregations and outcast by friends and family yet the organization preaches God is love but only if you are in good standings with the organization.
I really feel that this could be big lawsuit in ans outside the US. Please let me know if you might be interested in speaking to me.
