  so we have had a bit of rain today.

  but the sun peeked out and was setting to the west.

  i stepped out to the front yard and saw on the top of the foothills at least 10 miles away what appeared to be a burning cross.

  So Many Newbies- Gotta Love It

  by Tylinbrando in

  1. jw

  while many of the stories are sad, i can't help but feel some happiness that this forum exists and that it is a stepping stone for so many that are hurting and will be better for it on their way to recovery.. every day there are a handful of people that post for the first time, many of them stating they have been lurking for a long time.. i personally have had a dozen ask me for help because of the state of mind and affairs they find themselves in after making or being handed an exit from the watchtower.. i am grateful for this site.

  i am grateful for the diversity of perspectives and the willingness for those here to always help.. the best therapy is human interaction with those who know exactly what pains us.. well done jwn.

  she is a wonderful mother of a beautiful girl and needs some uplifting.

  she was disfellowshipped years ago and the emotional blackmail seems to be taking it's toll.

  anyone's input will be so appreciated.

  Sex abuse prosecution hurdles

  by Tylinbrando in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  what is frustrating to me is that even if the wbts and silentlambs, attorneys and parents who have been contacted before law enforcement of sex abuse disclosures were to pick up their phones immediately and call the police to report alleged sex abuse, there is still a huge amount of hurdles to clear before an alleged abuser will be brought to justice.

  investigations gathering evidence that is deemed to be prosecutable can take months.

  diliberations by district attorneys before a judge can take months.
