been away from organization for a while now, yet?.

i found this site accidently i guess.

i have been away from the truth for a while now...6 years... yet it always permeates my mind somehow and i fear the events happening in the world, and wonder.... i guess my problem was that i hated going out door to door as a child.. somehow i hated invading other people's privacy and felt wrong somehow, or embarrased, or just plain hated it period.

i think that is the biggest thing that keeps me away from ever returning.. somehow i, in my small mind cannot understand why small children should do such a thing until they are old enough to at least have a say in it.. like an opinion??

Ok,, I have been browsing through many threads pertaining to child abuse within JW congregations..

I do understand the sick condition we are in at this time and accept the fact that in any organization of any kind, these things happen...and for a long time I had a halo effect clouding my judgement concerning the utimate goodness of all people in JW religion..( everyone was good),, I really am in shock and I guess I have been away from the religion for a while now, not knowing these things... and of course I have been busy in my own life, in school for a long time now.. but I got off that road and now have time to think and contemplate where I am going at this time.

Anyways all I want to say is that I understand the human condition, but do not understand why if all these things I have read are true,, why are these abusers protected under the thrones of the so called truth???

Get them the hell out of there and punish them,, no questions asked.. no protection ,,, accessed denied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If God loves us as his children,, then he wouldn't protect ones that hurt his children.????..then why do the followers of the JW's protect the abusers??????,,(to protect the name of God maybe, but at what price to the victims?).. for me the bottom line is , get them the hell out of there for good...

I mean eh???

yes, maybe,, concerns, worries,,, yet,,,,are we to live our lives with nothing?

I guess i do think that I fight the fact that I don't really want to deterorate into old age and die..I have problems accepting this, and a part of me wants the youth ...

If old age was natural then, tell me this?? why is society so obsessed with youth? media purpetuates it, and we all strive for it,,try to hold on to it.... as old age is not the norm... do you see commercials with older people representing mainstream society, trying to sell products, etc, ??????..not really.........

just a thinking question for you all,, i like to anaylse...........

Hello, and to answer your question, I live in beautiful Canada,, and you in Australia... And yes, I do feel fortunate to be sheltered so to speak from the stuff going on that i see, being in a small city here away from the limelight... I still can leave my doors unlocked, car unlocked, and feel safe,, yet how long will that false sense of security go on?

Why do others in other places have a totally different lifestyle than me???? I guess I feel that all people deserve the same, the same goodness, security, and rights, etc, etc, etc,,,

what do you think?

So then, what is your hope for your future?? do you wander about what is going on around you?? I for one don't like watching the news at all... all the crap and war and terrorism going on just stresses me out, so I go on as if it doesn't exist...

I live in a fairly safe place still, and wonder though how others feel.. like the ones living in the US,, after September 11,, how that has changed peoples lives..

I still want to believe in something, yet what???????????????that is the question of the day..

I am a parent of 2 children and as I have read some posts about child abuse in the truth,, well that totally angers me to no end... yes I understand the sick perverted condition that some are in, but still,, children are helpless and it is up to the leaders or whatever in the congregation to get them the "hell of the there",, sorry for the language, but that is horrible to imagine for me that this goes on in the "truth"....

Putting all these things aside,, I still am drifting alone in this world,, and have no hope to give myself or my children. no religion,, yet all I ever have known is the religion as I was brought up in it for most of my life until my 20's.

I guess a part of me still wants to believe in it, and as I watch the world events unfold I wonder what anyone here on this forum feels or thinks or wonders about for themselves????????????? what future do anyone of us have?????????????
