Welcome, again. In your quest to free everyone don't forget your wife and newborn child. Sadly not everyone wants to be freed.

Just Read Silentlamb.com For the First Time
by HeyThere ini am feeling so emotional right now.
crazy doctrines aside, these child abuse cover-ups are horrendous.
add them together and i feel like there is a churning black hole sucking the souls out of these children.. now, i realize there are boys who were abused as well, but i get this overwhelming feeling that girls/women are simply not valued and/or taken seriously or accused of being liars or demonic or, even worse, viewed as a harlot, whore, or temptress in the majority of situations, no matter the age or the brutality of the rape.

It's the tip of the iceberg in my opinion, many can't bring themselves to tell their story. I reckon there's been a pedophile in almost every congregation at some point, that might sound sensational but the JWs are a perfect place for them to gain protection.

I actually laughed out loud at this bit, so true:
According to the UUT report Jehovah’s Witnesses are suspicious of higher education so elders are not well-educated. The organisation said that this may be the reason why elders do not fully understand the consequences of expulsion and shunning

My fade was going fine until they started pestering me. They were saying 'we love you' and 'we want you back' so I knew they wouldn't give up and every CO visit I'd be getting discussed about or I'd be looking over my shoulder worried I'd get caught doing something I shouldn't be by them, living like that in my opinion was living by their rules. So I wrote a very simple letter saying I don't want to be known as one of them, and dont contact me.
The relief cannot be described, and it's a plus I no longer have to engage in conversation with them anymore.

If you are thinking about "Stepping Down" you better do it QUICK!
by Comatose inthe new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.
you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.
so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..

I find this 'new' arrangement odd to be called 'new'. When I handed in my resignation about 3 years ago the Bethel wrote back to the local BOE to tell them to wait until the CO came next, sure enough he spoke with me, I said what I needed to say without causing suspicion.
Why fear a CO? He's only another cult member, most are burnt out themselves.

I'm glad your son is still happy, you have clearly worked hard for his happiness. No matter what his mother did or will do she is still his mother. Be happy for your boy, be there for him as you always have.

abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

Nice update. Patience is a virtue, for me though it's all or nothing. I was never scared, a bit hurt though that's down to being so annoyed and angry at myself for having taken the crap for so long, I've always been lonely but have a couple of amazing friends now I can turn to if I'm too lonely.
