  Long Island Congregations?

  by pc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am wondering why i haven't really heard about many from that area on the forum.

  i knew so many people growing up that have left and yet haven't actually connected with anyone so far.

  i know franklin lives where my brothers do, but no one else has surfaced so far.

  Covering over

  by Stefanie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was 17 and was at a bible study with a ms and his wife, anyways i went to the bathroom to wash my hands and the dude (ms) came in and started washing my hands for me all the way up to my elbows.

  i freaked out and left, but when i told an elder what happened he said i should have just been quiet and forgotten about it because there was no need to start a riot over such a small incident.

  i wish i would have seen the red flag that day.

  Sexual abuse by my father covered up by JWs

  by brandi in

  2. child-abuse

  i was wondering if anyone else on this board had an experience similar to mine.

  when i was 7-12 years old, i was sexually abused by my dad (also a witness) and i confided in another witness- a friend of the family's.

  he also ended up walking in on the abuse at one point.

  Let The Lambs Tell Us What They Need.

  by Englishman in

  2. child-abuse

  this isn't about the running of silentlambs.org.

  this is about the people themselves who have been abused.

  this is from someone who has never suffered from abuse, who is trying to understand the needs of those who have.. how can those who have not been abused help those of us here who have, and what can we do that would be really useful to those persons?.

  Update On My Dad

  by cruzanheart in

  1. jw

  he's doing a little better, thank you, taking his antidepressants, staying off the sauce (we hope) and seeing a psychiatrist every week.

  we got my mom settled in her new nursing home and are trying to start the process of getting her on medicaid.

  we told dad we'd take care of it, and while he's not terribly thrilled with giving up financial control, he's just going to have to.. i've decided he has a streak of masochism in him or else he's a closet catholic, because he wanted to confess all to the committee of elders that disfellowshipped/reinstated him last time.
