  Just because you have a 1 year old, doesn't mean you have to stay. It will end anyway. Listen to your nightmares, there is really something there, even though they will deny it. The world is bigger than the 35 miles radius you've always resided. When that one comes into your life, don't let him get away without at least TRYING to work it out. If it fails, I forgive you...but at least we'd know.

  Go back to school. Figure out what makes you happy before you don't know how to get back to that place.

  I need you help! When I was a child my dad exposed himself at work, but older elder just told me it never happened.

  ok i came from a very crazy family.

  lots of abuse.

  my dad exposed himself to me from the age of three until i left home at 18. my dad did lots of gross things but that is not the jest of this post.. one of the things my dad did that i clearly remember was exposing himself in the elevator at work to woman twice and he almost got fired for it.

  I think there is only so much one person can do. You say that you were abused, and I believe you. You say that all others deny it, and I believe you. You say that you haven't been in the bOrg in a year, and I believe you.

  When you say you are being reabused by the elders denying you, I think you are bringing it on yourself.

  You are a woman in your 40's who can move on. Your abuser is dead. You want the congregation you left to know about abusers you know. So you go to the elders? At what point in the history of your life have the elders EVER done the right thing in this situation? It's known that they will protect their own reputation, and the abuser, rather than the child and the community. OVER AND OVER they've shown this. Why in the world would you think that they would help?

  Or that they would confirm for you what you already know about your dad? Will it make it hurt less if that 80 year old elder admitted to having known your dad was such a selfish asshole? I doubt it.

  In my opinion, you are looking for something to do for others, or for others to verify something for you, so you can heal. It's the wrong way.

  Someone above recommended you use placards or flyers. In my opinion, doing something proactive to warn the innocent ones would make you different than those elders. The elders who know and don't warn. How are you different, knowing and not warning? Either warn those that matter, or leave it alone for your own sanity. There will always be, and have always been people who mistreat, abuse, manipulate and scar children. It will eat you up if you don't deal with your own hurt, and then if you can, help others to not be in that situation.

  I speak from experience.

  This week's Bible Highlights, verbatim quote: "Jehovah is a Killer..."

  by Open mind in

  it's amazing what you notice when you go through the bible again with a changed worldview.

  this week's watchtower-assigned bible reading is the opening chapters of 1 samuel.

  this little gem just jumped off the page at me:.

  Cantleave, I know you can probably tell, being my friend now on Facebook that my children have too jumped headfirst into celebrating birthdays, holidays, and being generally normal kids. It's fantastic, and I've never felt better as a parent.

  Good for you and Nugget for being able to allow your kids a normal life. Please be as open as possible, as soon as possible for your kids so they don't feel a dread, as if they are displeasing Jehovah, family that is still in, or friends that don't approve. Our family takes a couple of our kids to a therapist now, and we are working through guilt and feelings of doing what is right/wrong. 10 is the prime age for wanting to do what you want, but labeling it as ok or not ok according to what their budding consciences allow, or how their support feelings feels. It's a tender time. I'm sure you are being supportive and backing your kids in being able to step out into the "world", but make sure they are ok too and have no lingering guilt.

  Good for you, and your whole family :)

  by a whisker, i missed it being "that call", the one that changes your life forever.

  2 am, the phone, the sheriff, the 16 yo, the mishap on the road that, in the big picture, is really just a frikkin inconvenience and another goddamn output of money we dont have.... .

  i am pretty sure the hammering of my heart will ease up in a bit.

  Wow, she sure showed you now didn't she! I am just assuming it's a woman by the way it's written.....possibly I'm wrong. Either gender, its just so typical of the attack the person mentality, hoping to scare them back to doing what they are doing. Even if it's ugly.

  You should reply "Oh! You'd rather I come back and disobey the Society by posting on an unofficial webboard in Jehovahs name, and then go on to call people out on their intelligence, dignity, personality, and motives. Where do I sign??"
