  Glad you are doing well Kid. Since you are stuck with the religion for some time make the best of the experience. Remember the people around you are innocent victims, so don't resent them even when they are harsh with you.

  Also, as someone said before, there's wisdom in the Bible. Just keep in mind that it was written by people and for people who lived two thousands or more years ago. My two favorite books are Job and Ecclesiastes. I don't like the New Testament because I feel it contains too much emotional manipulation, but I am sure something good can be gleaned from it. As I said, make the best of what you got. Life can only get better from this point on, much better. Don't dwell to long on the bumps along the road.

  hi to everyone!i was summoned to the judicial committee and went.

  it was a respectful conversation from one side to the other.

  in the end i handed the dissociation letter in hand and a binding to each of the elders, with an article i wrote on the subject, "are jehovah's witnesses a destructive sect?

  Poopie,

  Next time you create a topic can you elaborate on what the heck you are talking about. Few quotes could go a long way. I noticed other people gave you 2 dislikes. I added one more. You do this quite frequently, leaving people wondering.

  Don't worry too much. The recovery process is going to be worth all the pain you are getting now, because you will be free in a whole new world, much better world. It will be scary at first, but you will learn to navigate it, just as you learn to walk, one step at the time.

  Elders get the report and report it to Watchtower, that's it. NO professional HELP to victim, NO serious PREVENTION, NO CRIMINAL charges.

  Police officer get a report and promptly start an investigation to HELP the victim, PREVENT other victims and bring CRIMINAL charges against abuser.

  I apply the same standards, very different results. Thanks Watchtower

  Bobby: "merely waiting for a child to be abused and reacting to it."

  If child abuse prevention doesn't work, no other organization reacts as swiftly and forcefully as the Watchtower does to protect...well...the Watchtower.

  Bobby:"Otherwise, I guess we can blame police for not “protecting children”"

  So you compare a police who is completely unaware of child abuse with an elder who is very aware of child abuse and is advised by the Watchtower to hush. Your conclusion is that they are equally guilty.

  I will have to copy and paste your own words

  "To me, he [Satan] represents human nature."

  Then you are better off studying Greek Mythology. And from there jump to Greek Classics and Athens Golden Age (fifth century B.C.) Far better!

  only a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.

  then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.

  thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

  Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

  by pale.emperor in

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  I found the story. I have to say that P.E. has not reached these heights yet.
