how many of you called "911" (in the united states, "911" is the emergency telephone number to the police) to report some kind of abuse (as defined by law) by a jw?
usually most jw?s report a serious matter to the elders, as encouraged by the watchtower!
but how many of you actually figured-out you needed to report a serious matter to the police?
I reported abuse to the police and child protection.

Yes I would be interested in camping and meeting you all. Prefer Ontario. I like the idea having plans ahead of time. To work out my schedule.

the other night i'm in bed trying to fall asleep with my tornado of thoughts swirling this way and that and for no apparent reason i started to have an anxiety attack thinking about death.
it was easy to accept so many things about death when you believed it's never going to happen or that if it does i'll be back..just like arnold.. when i speak to non-dubs they don't seem to experience it as much because death has always been an accepted part of life to them.. i can't go back to thinking like a dub and i admit i'm a non-bible believer now and not even sure about the existence of god..at least not the biblical one.
so i guess i can only look forward to a long healthy life and hope that the last thing i see before i die is the face of my daughter holding her grandchild.. have many of you had this anxiety attack after leaving the borg?.
I experienced death anxiety when first entering into cronehood with my changes with womanhood. I face death everyday on my job. I wonder what their thoughts were and their process with dying. Asking questions of self. When am I going to die? How am I going to die? I am not so anal about it now.
I did experience when being a single parent. I prayed til the summer of 1991 wishing not to die. Because I wanted to see my children become of age and able to care for themselves. The fear of having their father take care of them. The girls are survivors of sexual abuse. I wanted to make damn sure they were safe. When the youngest became of age. A huge relief!!
So at this time in my life I relish the moment to moment.
