Hasn't the WT organization done the same thing. Pay off victims with $ and a gag order to keep their mouth shut.

JW paid 13-year-old girl to keep quiet about sex abuse
by behemot ina man who sexually abused a 13-year-old girl and took obscene photographs of her has been jailed for three years four months.. liverpool crown court heard that 54-year-old geoffrey massey would pay the teenager after molesting her at his home in an attempt to keep her quiet.. but his crimes eventually came to light after he confessed to his daughter, who told other relatives.. in april, following the revelations, his young victim took an overdose and had to be treated at hospital.. jailing 54-year-old massey, who is a jehovah's witness, judge adrian lyon said i have regard for the totality of the offences and in particular the last count, which dealt with a number of photographs you took of the child, aged 13, on your behalf.. there seems to have been a number of occasions on which you engaged in sexual activity with this child.. when the girl was interviewed by police she initially denied massey had done anything wrong.
she told officers he had given her the money for cleaning work.. but after officers re-interviewed her after getting more information, she revealed what had been happening, saying she had felt too foolish to admit it.. massey, of twickenham drive, leasowe, admitted sexual activity with a child, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one further offence of making indecent photographs.. the pictures were never discovered because he had deleted them from his computer.. lee bonner, defending, said once his client had begun the abuse he was too scared to stop for fear his victim would expose his crimes.. essentially, once he had begun he found it very difficult to stop, not because of any particular sexual satisfaction, but because once it had begun and he had begun to give her money he feared the complainant might tell people when the flow of money stopped.. mr bonner told how massey, who had no previous convictions, had left his family, but had been the subject of a hate campaign in his community.. source: http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/8718393.jehovah_s_witness_paid_13_year_old_girl_to_keep_quiet_about_sex_abuse/.

To: Ex-JW Women - Your Side
by Amazing inex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.
how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?
did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Mental torture
by stuckinamovement init is pretty interesting to see the mental, emotional and physical impact that people have when realize the teachings of the org are lies.
i am not going to name any names or point fingers but i can say i have tremendous empathy for those who are recently aware.. let me splane,.
now that i know about the lies that i have been taught and subsequently taught people myself, i have become like a lost person.

Until you move past the anger and how to cope, the WT cult is still controlling you. Don't give them that.
You can't change what is in the past, so keep moving forward and appriciate the fact that this cult did not control you for your entire life. You got out, many do not! That is something to be happy about!
I found that once I spent the needed time to de-program myself from the borg, spending less time at ex-jw sites helped for me to reduce the emotional effects.

I tried it once at age 40 with a 23 y/o. It was a bit weird that I was only a couple years younger than her dad. I found older is the way to go. Less drama, more experienced, had more in common, no little kids that can come with a younger woman.

"How did you ever come to be dating this guy in the first place? Do you realize that it is probably because as a non-JW girl, you were a lot more "fun" to be with, and unlikely to go running to the elders when he pressed you for sexual favors?"
This is a good question considering there are something like 5 available women for every available man in this religion. And look how often we hear these same kind of stories here on a regular basis.
I think the religion itself is responsible for this phenomenon. Who would buy a car without a test drive first? Not most people, and you can always trade a bad car later. Yet this is what they expect when it comes to choosing a life long partner. With a 5 to 1 ratio of women to men, why the need to even look elsewhere? Just another sick symptom of this high control cult .

Dan, I don't post as much here as I used to. However your experience sounds very familiar to mine. I spent 1 year doing my own research without sharing anything with others. When I told my wife that I would not go to meetings any longer she went crazy. I never even got the chance to do it one time. The next day she said she wanted a divorce and also told me she did not love me anymore. I was devistated at the time, it was truly the lowest point in my life and had many of the same feelings you have expressed on this thread. I got zero support from people at the KH, but got great support from 'worldly' people that I worked with.
Fast forward five years. It was the best thing she ever did for me. Yes, it will be hard in the short run, but in the long run you will be much happier then selling out just to keep your family in tact. You will end up resenting her and hating her in the long term if you are not true to yourself. I feel your pain, I was there, I lived it, I lost my wife, home, car, custody of children. It was a dark time while living it. However better days await you on the other side.
My only regret now, is that it didn't happen sooner.
I hope you can work it out, but if you can't, just know that it does get better.
A life away from all 'JWs' is far better for me than anything that I could dream up in my own mind that includes living with one. But that is just me.

I contacted DISK support and they said that fox tried to jack up the price for RX & NATGEO by 50% and they are currently in negotiations with them because that is to high of a hike and want to keep prices down for customers. They asked to give them some time to work through negotiations.
I told them I would give them a few weeks but will also start paying more attention to the sweet deals directtv keeps sending me trying to get me to switch.

What if JWs are right?!?
by brotherdan ini know this is a pointless question, but what if this happened:.
you came home from work one day, sat down, and turned on the tv.
there is a sudden announcement that the un has banned all religion.

Before all of that could happen, there has to be a "king of the north".
Who is the "king of the north" these days?
