  over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.

  they broke more commandments that most.

  Really don't feel like a JW anymore

  it has been a good 8 years away from my area, a good 10 years + since i was regularly at meetings.

  a good 12 years since i was hesitantly active.. it is a slow process but it does happen.

  i now feel no connection to the belief system beyond memories.

  Quite interesting turning the tables like that, I'm not sure I could go into a hall now without squirming and getting really angry at what was being said.

  Thought I would introduce myself

  i have read the site with great interest over the last few weeks.

  some interesting stuff thats for sure.. i have left the jehovah's witnesses (was almost going to say the 'truth') for some time now.

  i was one of the lucky ones that was baptised then faded, no humiliating disfellowshipping but nonetheless was very hard to get myself out.

  Victim tells of sexual abuse ordeal at hands of stepfather

  by WildeLover in

  2. child-abuse

  a disgusting case in the ukman who was sexually abused by his stepfather when he was a boy has told how the ordeal had long- lasting effects.. nick french, 42, was tormented by gary moscrop, inset below, as a boy growing up in brighton, including sexual abuse and psychological cruelty.

  last wednesday, his abuser was finally convicted of the historical offences after mr french stood up in front of a jury to recount the abuse, which happened in brighton and sussex between 1979 and 1985. bravely waiving his anonymity to speak to the argus, mr french, who now lives in cumbernauld, glasgow, said: it me a long time to work out that i had not done anything wrong myself and nothing i had done warranted that behaviour towards me.. i have had great assistance from the doctors and, since going back to the police a couple of years ago, it has been a huge weight off my shoulders putting everything down and saying this happened.. moscrop, 76, of hendon street, brighton, was jailed last thursday for ten years after being convicted of ten offences against mr french, including indecent assault, gross indecency with a child, buggery and child cruelty.. mr french first spoke up about a small portion of the abuse in 1987 when he was 15, leading to moscrop being cautioned.

  he was finally prosecuted after mr french revealed the full scale of the abuse in 2012, when he could no longer repress it after having children of his own.

  The police had already charged him but when he said he felt he had already been punished by the elders by being DF'd for a few years they had to follow it up!

  I too have made contact with a few exJWs, who have no intention of going back, but they have all said they believe the JWs have it right and it is just not for them. It wasn't until we spoke further and I was able to show them they don't have it right that they realise their gut instinct was maybe correct and it is a bit of a relief to them

  Losing Faith

  i've always been a "spiritual" person.

  i've been an avid bible reader since as early as i can remember.

  i read the bible cover to cover for the first time when i was about 17 years old and have read it at least twice more since then.
