The family is all out now. But you're naive to talk like just simply being a pub is a green light for any and all trust with anyone. Elders get counsel on improper contact with the opposite sex when performing their duties, why wouldnt it be expected and assumed the same for any publisher in any standing. Ex-jw's need to quit painting with such broad brushes. It takes away from more pressing issues

Rape Victim Forced To Listen To a Tape Of Her Assault In A JC
by pale.emperor inthis is absolutely outrageous.
a rape victim was forced to listen to herself being raped while the elders stopped and started the tape claiming she was consenting.
even though during one of the assaults she was duct-taped, gagged and had a pillowcase over her head.

I am actually familiar with this situation. The elders involved absolutely made a grave and disgusting mistake by forcing the girl to listen to the audio. However, the brother was not in ANY exemplary positions. I don't know if this matters to any of you but I was kind of irritated reading the article knowing a lot of the facts that were distorted. The kid was a creep and I know that he had a very well known reputation of being one. Again, I'm not defending the elders but they absolutely did not facilitate the sexual misconduct

Elders intervening in family issues
by gatorguy indoes anyone know of any good scriptures or reference articles that i can show an elder to hopefully have him stop intervening in a family issue?
i already told him that i am the head of the house and that they're usurping my headship but they didn't seem to get the message.

Should I stay married to my JW wife
by gatorguy inme and my wife were at the beach the other day and i finally told her, i don't think i believe in god anymore.
i fessed up to the fact that it started with me doubting some jw beliefs and then it just led me to this point where i don't even believe in god.
i wouldn't say that i even have a negative view towards jw's or religion in general.

I wouldn't say that I even have a negative view towards JW's or religion in general. Giving up belief in god moved me to see that all institutions are man made and we should expect the same human injustices and imperfections to persist. However, this poses a huge problem in our marriage. We have considered having children but now my wife wants to wait. I hate putting it this way, but we're still young enough to rebuild apart. Does anyone have any experience staying married and having a family with an active witness? Would you get out earlier if you could? I assume that if I went public about being an atheist I'd be eventually df'd, would it be best for me to just keep it really quiet and just hit a meeting here and there?
