what is getting me down are the difficult and troubling experiences posted by some of the forum users.
in a number of cases i cannot believe the injustice inflicted on the person.
how, forgive the wording, in god’s name can this be happening?
Why you might ask?

I’m sorry; but reading some of these discussions is really, in a manner, upsetting.
Am I the only one feeling this way? Hope does one cope with it?

utah jehovah’s witnesses church forced woman to listen to audio of her rape, lawsuit says.

Words fail me. Sickening beyond belief.
I hope the authorities throw the book at this (expletive) and the WTBTS for this crime.
I hope that this woman eventually makes a full recovery from this sickening ordeal.
throughout this process since my wife and i disassociated just over a year ago i've been pretty positive.
focusing on my new life, new friends, having fun, and living a good life.
it's been great.

Halloween ... trick or treat.
I personally know of an experience here in the UK. This individual decided to 'trick' the kids in return.
What this person did was cook some Brussel Sprouts and coated them in chocolate. So when the kids knocked on this person's door, he gave them some sweets and Brussel Sprouts ..... LOL
So why not have a bit of fun too!
so our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.
(and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.
hmmm, i wonder why!).
Sorry to read of this. Another decent, caring Elder who went out of his way to support the congregants now finds himself in the position of being deleted from the BOE.
My personal opinion; this Elder should walk away. To hell with them all.
so this past week the wife and i have received several phone calls and text messages from our old hall.
we were also invited out to dinner to catch up with some old friends.
an hour before dinner this guys wife messaged my wife and said that she "can't wait for tonight!!
As Hoser commented above; ... 'Enjoy the company of your wife and forget about these people'.
i just dropped my daughter off to her mum at her parents house.
it was 12pm and i knew they meet for feild service there but my ex and i assumed they would still be out knocking on doors.
i pull up in the street and there's quite a few cars parked up and the house was backed with jdubs from my old congregation.
Excellent PE. Well done for standing your ground and conducting yourself as any decent parent would.
As you say, there is absolutely no reason why you should feel awkward, so let them squirm for their embarrassing behaviour.
i just received the following message from a friend this morning.. barbara.
eloise dupuis, 27 years old, died at the hotel dieu hospital in lévis, quebec, canada, wednesday, october 12th.
she died because of her religious principles.
Tragic. Sincere condolences to her family and friends.
i have just returned from visiting friends and family.
when i was disassociated my parents had contact with me a few months before my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
i was reinstated 20 months after his funeral and then they disfellowshipped me 5 months later as they are convinced i had not changed my life enough to be a jw again.
Really sorry to read of this terrible experience DL2.
As others have already mentioned in this and other discussions; the best thing to do now is for both you and your son to move forward and lead successful and happy lives.
Best wishes to you both.
in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..
...... 'It is too horrible to contemplate' ...... BluesBrother
So true. Even when I was a full on believer I couldn't get my head round the scale of it.
It is beyond sickening!
if only the gb did this!
notice how in this 2 minute video he says that he says he "accepts that abuse has happened" and offers an "unreserved apology" and "will not defend this failure on our part".
he said he is personally available to meet with survivors and to offer a personal apology.
That's integrity .... DesirousOfChange
Indeed it is. Hats off to you Commissioner Floyd Tidd.
Take note GB - this is an example of humility and courage to accept responsibility for the actions of one's own organisation.
