I had some good memories, but they are more than surplanted by the damage inflicted by the cult. It was a horrible way to be raised, and have your individuality and self esteem crushed.

FHN,
This is a different Bex. I have been in contact with Talisin, and she just told me that the other Bex will be removed from life support tonight by her fiancee. She is known as Bex Ex JW on FB, and is from VA.

Practical reasons. If any former elders or current have dealt with a situation like mine, please share.

I have a weird situation . . .
I was a born-in, and ended up DFed in middle age. The only thing is, I had a dirty little secret, that I would like to get rectified. Supposedly, I was baptized at the ripe old age of 12 at the International Convention in NYC. No relatives were allowed to go to the baptism, because of lack of transportation. (they were expecting 600-700 to get baptized, instead of almost 3,000)
To make a long story short, I chickened out. The beach was a filthy polluted mess. I never got dunked. My mother knows about it, and she understood. I am trying to figure out how to let the elders know, and recend my baptism that never happened. Since I never was baptised, I should have never been disfellowshipped. I would like to get them to recend the DF. Any suggestions?

Tell the therapist that you were in a cult. Also discuss complex PTSD.

early yesterday morning i was driving through town on a street that rearly has any foot traffic and never at 7:30 am on a sunday morning and there they were.
a group of jbubs milling about counting time.
i drove a little further and there was a second group walking slowly down the street in the morning drizzle.
I knew of these two young pioneer sisters in Florida, they used to spend the day at the beach in their swimsuits, and just have the magazines on the corner of their beach blanket. Tons of hours, and a killer tan!
