I know that there are a lot of other people out there with similar stories. I would like to hear from men too, as I'm sure some of them have also been abused.

this threat might be a bit too dark for some.

have any of you been abused by a sibling?

i'm not talking about the usual jealousy thing.

At a young age, my brother had a strong curiosity with sex and, being the bully that he was (and still is), he would make me do things to him which I detested. I was afraid of him. But most of the time, he was nice and took care of me. My life as a child, on the outside, showed no sign whatsoever of being abused. It was all fun and games. I never told my parents, friends, relatives or brothers in the congregation. No one knew.

After 10 years of being the only two siblings in the family, a little sister comes along.

I grew up, got married, had children. Still no one knew.

At the time my son was less than a year old, my sister was 18. She was a strong young woman; always standing up to our brother who would try to bully her. One day, they had a fight, for something pathetic, yet, she graved a knife and told my brother off while pointing the knife at him. Of course, the bully backed off. But she did something else. She called a meeting with our parents and told them that our brother had raped her when he was 17 and she was 5. My parents could not believe it. They refused to believe it. But when I was told about it, I knew, it had to be true. And I wanted to kill him.

My parents never did anything about it. They requested that no one in the family should find out. Not even in the congregation. My father had since passed away. My mother still ownes a house with her prescious son.

My sister and I, are totally alone. When family gatherings come along, we're invited, but since we know that the a-hole will be there, we decline. My mother though expects my sister and I to sit at the same table with him. Like nothing had ever happened.

Ultimately I did tell my husband what had happened between my brother and I. My husband hates him to death. My sister's husband, (she got married and has children of her own), hates him to death too.

My mother? She's a die hard JW....how ironic? Isn't she suppossed to shun her son? My sister and I are no longer JWs, and WE shun him, big time.

Ladies, I understand. This is extremely painful, specially when parents do not react the way we expect them to.

Later I will expand a little on my case. Right now I'm at work.

This threat might be a bit too dark for some. Have any of you been abused by a sibling? I'm not talking about the usual jealousy thing. I'm talking about real abuse, sexual, physical and emotional. Did you ever inform your parents about this? What did your parents do about it? What kind of relationship do you have with your sibling and your parents today?

Were Adam and Eve the only humans created?

by heyfea in

my husband asked me a questions that kind of stumped me for a moment.

he asked, in genesis, when cain killed abel, and god, as punishment cursed him and drove him from the land, making him a restless wanderer, why did cain say to god that the punishment was too hard; that anyone who found him would kill him?

who was going to kill him?

heyfea

I really appreciate your comments.

Snowbird,

The only thing I could come up with is that perhaps Eve was talking about a replacement for the God APPROVED son she's lost? And yes, you're right. There are a lot of things we read in the bible which we think are so plain and simple, only to realized that we've missed one line, one word, that changes things a bit. You are not alone.

Thank you for your answers.

My husband and I stopped going to the kh more than 10 years ago. Just didn't feel like going anymore. But anyway, my husband kept this idea that regardless of his failure to live the JWs lifestyle, the JWs still have the truth. Or at least he did strongly some years back. Now, with the Internet, he's discovering a lot surprising things about the JWs and slowly, he's beginning to change his point of view. Thus, the question he asked me.
