Ya'll hit the nail on the head! I was in for nearly twenty years so I know EXACTLY what your talking about--the sad faces behind happy masks, the rampant mental and emotional problems, the elders and their pseudo-Watchtower psychology, etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, I'm crazy thankful to be out -- just wish i had left sooner!

Please post your reviews here should you decide to read the book. I'd love to know what you think!

Oh and don't forget amazon.com! Bo would really appreciate any positive reviews there as well.

Are There Good People Out There?

by LaurenM in

even though i'm no longer mentally a jw (i still technically am) i do recognize that there are some benefits to being raised one.

for example, the first (and only so far) wordly guy i was involved with had to smoke weed every day and got drunk all the time and that was his idea of fun.

i couldn't help but feel bad for him.

My post on "confirmation bias" continued (I intended to post once, not twice but a technical issue foiled my attempt.😋)....

As an example, suppose that your Dad has never liked Italians and as a result, you've grown up believing that they don't bath much. You take a trip to Europe over spring break and meet the Italian stallion of your dreams at a pizzeria in Naples. you're tempted to jump his stump😉 ...but wait, there's a problem. Sniff, sniff, sniff.....EEW HE STINKS! And I mean really smells, like butt. You tell him you have to use the bagno but escape out the back door instead, fully convinced that Italians are filthy pigs as dad says.

Your experience with an abusive, workaholic pot-head does not confirm or support what you've been told about "worldly people". But you think it does due to a tendency that most have to some degree: confirmation bias.

WARNING: SEXUAL PREDATOR ON THE LOOSE IN NEW MEXICO!

im mad as hell!

how many times is another child molester going to get away with murder before the watchtower bible & tract society decides to do something about it?!.

That's what I don't understand NE. mandatory reporting requires parents to contact authorities when abuse is present in the home yet JW's rarely do! What happened to Romans 13:?! Hypocrites.

UPDATE:

looks like he lived/worked in Belen, Los Ranchos, and Albuquerque previously (New Mexico).

he's a single white guy who works as a bookkeeper/tax preparer...brown hair and a receding hair line, about 5' 8" tall.

I contacted the police dept. in Gallup this morning and was told that they "might" investigate.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

Hello umbertoecho!

Problem is, I live in California and the victim that I am in contact with will not come forward at this point. It's been over ten years as well--past the statute of limitations, I believe. (In her case)

I'll go ahead and call today but I don't think there's anything they can without an eye-witness.

Thank you for the suggestion.
