The Zalkin Law Firm is probably the most active law firm handling abuse lawsuits: http://www.zalkin.com/
As far as support groups in the U.S., I don't know of any beyond Silent Lambs: http://silentlambs.com/
do any members on here have knowledge of where to direct (historic case 24 yrs ago) exjw csa victims apart from the police and to find a lawyer?
are there any groups forming (or any lawyers collecting cases) in u.s. for these victims?
i'm from u.k. so not up on the u.s. and what you guys are doing over there regarding these cases but i've stumbled across someone on youtube who needs advice from someone better equipped than i. this person says they are willing to come forward.

this is my first post.
i really feel i need to leave the jw's rather than go along pretending everything is perfect etc.
no friends, me at work.
Wow...what a story...
If you want to leave, take it SLOW...
Don't try to wake up your wife...it sounds like she's the type that will report you immediately.
Just keep doing what you're doing...deflect any questioning...and ignore the elders... Don't give them power over you.
Welcome to the forum.
however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
What does it say about love that it cannot be proven conclusively? Hey, the Bible says that God is love. Maybe neither are real.
Love is an emotion. Are you saying that God is nothing more than just a "feeling" one might have?
The God of the Bible, on the other hand, creates spirit beings, he talks, he writes, he kills, creates, destroys, parts oceans and impregnates virgins.
Shouldn't it be pretty easy to prove that a God that does all those things exists? Should you have to resort to comparing a being that does all those things to an emotion in order to prove he exists? Wouldn't there be more conclusive evidence of him if he really did all those things?

AFRIKANMAN: NONE of us can Prove conclusively any of this either way
What does that say about God that he can't be proven conclusively?
This most powerful being in existence, creator of all life, all knowing, all wise, almighty, can't be proven conclusively.

I don't feel it was a "loaded" thread.
There either is evidence or there isn't.
The fact that some think it's a loaded question perhaps shows their lack of evidence to begin with.

I want to believe. However, I haven't found any evidence to support that belief.
Have you? If so please, show me the evidence that God exists, and I will believe along with you.
Criteria:
(1) You must specify which God you are talking about;
(2) Evidence presented must be verifiable.
So please. Here is your opportunity to convince an atheist he is wrong.
Additional benefit: you may convince someone else that is doubting to remain a believer! What have you got to lose?
i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.
i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.
as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.
What god does or allows does not prove or disprove his existance .
No, but what god does or allows DOES prove whether he deserves our worship.
Even if I believed God existed, I wouldn't worship him.
Here's some food for thought:
