The debil is a "She"
by Brummie inwasnt there a big argument in the 90s about god being a "she"?
i heard that a bible was produced that reffered to god as mother and changed the words "he" to she, just wondered if anyone ever ran across it?.
i'll bet it left the debil in the male gender, but we all know he is a "she" en it.. brummie

What was you JC Meeting like?
by sandy in(inspired from caspian's thread) i hope the stories help rebel.
i was just wondering if any of you would like to share the details of your jc meeting.. i remember mine so well.
i was about 22 years old when i went to a jw relative of mine and broke my silence about sexual abuse i suffered as a child.. at this point i was involved in some normal young adult behavior (sex, drugs & rock n' roll) but because of my religious upbringing i was going crazy over it all.. well somebody took the liberty of telling the elders i wanted to talk to them about my devious behavior that i never admitted to anybody.

I went through an emotionally abusive marraige, the final straw was when it turned into physical abuse. I left and divorced him. I remarried (I was told by everyone family included that if my ex fell into temptation that I would be bloodguilty), I figured at least that would free my ex to remarry. The abuse was well hidden. I was called to return to my former congregation for a JC and I went. They did not want to hear about the abuse I had been thru, my ex even would have admitted it. When I tried to go into detail, they just kept saying that they did not want to hear any details. They were more concerned that I didn't regret my life with my new husband, and said our marraige would not be recognized by the congregation.
I stayed out about four years with pretty much just Memorial attendance and some of the assemblies. Finally I was contacted by someone in our area (I knew him and his family for years) Through his encouragement I went back. When it came time for reinstatement I met with the local JC and they were very supportive and understanding, they let me totally unload, and then one of them even thanked me for being so open about it. I was reinstated but it wasn't long before I faded. My sister through careful questioning about my beliefs raised a few questions for me to research, and I knew I would never go back. Free at last!!!

Big Dawg, I am glad it went well with your dad. Sometimes it is hard to tell which way it is going to go. Sometimes the not knowing is the worst.

Lady Lee, Big Tex, and so many others,
Your sharing has helped others in ways that you will probably never realize. Lady Lee I am glad you did not delete your post. There are many of us out here who have suffered. I am one. I haven't related it to very many. My abuse wasn't to the extent that yours was, but it was abuse none the less, and there is an anger that lives with it. The shame that was linked to it melted away as I realized it wasn't anything I did to cause it. It was motivated by an evil selfishness.

What a weird experience. I thought the public was supposed to be welcome. Why have they started an interrogation process on attendees? I am lost on this subject, anyone know what's going on?
