  Feel the Love

  i want to take this opportunity to start a thread inspired the poster dark side.. sometimes people come across on here as mean spirited or hopelessly grumpy.

  and it's obvious when you read their posts that they are good people and really just need some soothing healing love.

  so please, use this thread to spread some soothing, healing love to anyone, especially the social porcupines.

  Scarborough, UK JW Paedophile around 1999-2000?

  by James_Slash in

  i'm just looking to see if anyone was aware of this.. i was a jw at the time and me, my friend and my mother would often attend the scarborough, south bay congregation whenever we were on vacation - probably over a 3-year-period.. around 1999-2000 we went there and there was an american 'brother' present who had married a 'sister' who he had met at the new york bethel when she had visited.

  both he and she were regular pioneers.

  you could tell that the congregation held them in the very highest regard.. i remember on the thursday night during the service meeting they got him on the platform and he told the whole congregation how he emptied the bins at bethel but enjoyed doing it for jehovah.

  Yes I really wanted to join,as my friend at shool was in the brownies. She used to tell me what fun they had and lots of outdoor activities and camping sleeping in tents learning useful skills. I know I would have loved it.

  For a few years of my early childhood my dad had left and my mum was on her own she was letting us do more. I remember I was in the Christmas play at school and she was letting me join in other activities. But then after a few years she started doing more as a sister from the congregation who was very uba uba zealous took over and we virtually couldn't move. I wanted to go on a trip with the school for two weeks and at first my mum said yes you can go. I was so excited but then this sister put a stop to it and convinced my mum not to send me.

  Then my dad moved back when I was about 12 and then things got even worse I couldn't do anything. I was a virtual prisoner at home. I only went to school or the meetings. He wouldn't allow me to have a radio or to read any other books apart from the Jw books or school books. Fortunately there was a great library at my secondary school so I used to spend my lunch hour in their getting through all sorts of books.

  But when I got married and had a child I found myself being controlled again and my parents still managed to interfere with my life. As did others in the congregation and there were things I did not allow her to do at school especially because there were others from the congregation who had their kids at the school watching every thing you did.

  My daughter wanted to join the girl guides and other activities and it was happening all over again with everyone controlling what I did. I feel so guilty now that I let myself be brainwashed and controlled. I feel guilty that I didn't let her do more even though I knew how horrible it was at school when you couldn't join in and I missed out on so much. My daughter has forgiven me [Borhater on the board] but it doesn't help.

  This just shows that in many cases it will be something that affects some people personally rather than doctrine. Thats what I am setting my hopes on as regards my family that are still in, I threw everything at them there wasn't anything that i didn't cover but still a 'blank'

  Some experiences i've read here are keeping me going. Something we just don't expect will wake them up.

  I get some very down days and feel the pain and am reminded my family hate me. But just keep living in hope they will love me again one day.

  Love RosePetal
