So sorry for the horrifying situation. We need to find a way of thoroughly exposing the Watchtower Society to the world for the hellhole it really is.
I hope your girl winot find a way to heal.
just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".
she has attempted suicide a few days ago.
luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.

hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.
i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.
the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.
She knows in her heart it is BS. Good job.
it used to bother me that people would say that about my well meaning religion.
how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.
Did not Anthony Morris III, current governing body member state in the US Branch/Zone meeting just this month, that if you have a problem with anything he says you should take it up with God???
Pompous Ass personified!!!
it's all about the money.
a simple business model.. .

We love new members...and old ones, too!
i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
Welcome to JWN!
i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.
husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.
they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.
I can't wait to hear what happens next. Be a momma bear and keep protecting your kid from the organization.
after reading about tight pant tony's rant about sisters only marrying ministerial servants lest their marriage will be a failure what anecdotal evidence do you have to support this.
the divorces that i am familiar with in the congregation show me that having priveledges in the congregation do not improve the odds of a better marriage.
i would say about 60% of the divorces had at least one spouse who was a pioneer, elder or ministerial servant.
1Timothy 3:12. Let ministerial servants be husbands of one wife, presiding in a fine manner over chilren and their own households." spunds to me that they should be married before being appointed!.?!?!?

I was married at 19 years of age to a 20 year old MS who had been a MS since he was 16. The marriage was miserable and we divorced. He is now makingwide number two miserable, I know, because she told me so!
i heard through the grapevine that one of the slave laborers was walking backwards on the roof of the falls city, nebraska quick build this weekend and fell of the roof.
i heard he landed on his back and head and sustained some pretty serious injuries.. anyone in that area that might provide more information?
extent of injury?
NeverKnew: that scripture immediately came to my mind also!
FYI, JWN is a much better place to come than any Watchtower sites!
