  man, 70, jailed for historic sex abuse james greenland last updated 13:00 29/11/2013.

  share a nelson man has been jailed for six years for historical sex offences against his young stepdaughter.the victim spoke in the nelson district court at the sentencing of stephen robert carter, 70, this week.. she described the deep psychological trauma she had lived with as an adult as a result of his controlling and manipulative sexual abuse in the family home.. she explained the difficulty of living under a "burden of secrecy", unable to tell anyone about what carter did to her because of the effect it would have on his high standing within the nelson jehovah's witness congregation.. carter had admitted seven charges, including representative charges of rape, sodomy, inducing a girl under 12 to do an indecent act, permitting a girl under 12 to do an indecent act on another male, and counts of committing an indecency with an animal, and being party to an indecency with an animal.. the court heard that carter converted to christianity about three years after ceasing the sexual abuse, which he initiated under the false pretence of sexual education when his stepdaughter was 10 and 11.. in one of the first instances of "grooming", carter showed the victim his semen under a microscope, the court heard.

  So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?

  by Julia Orwell in

  i sure as eggs know which types don't:.

  creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.

  since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

  Help from 60's/70's music fanatics... if any are still alive (joking)

  about 5 years ago an older friend of mine passed away.

  this guy was into music in an almost unhealthy fashion which was the one thing we really had in common.

  he died in 2008 and when he passed his wife said he wanted me to have all of his old music.

  My hubby says you should use an 8-track player with a line output. Connect the line output to the line input of a sound card/pc, and with an audio recording program like Audacity you can digitalize the 8-tracks.

  before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

  during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.

  as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

  How jw parents do their best to make their some feel guilt

  by will-be-apostate in

  i've got a 6 years old brother who recently expressed his concerns about my spirituality.

  he said that he had a dream about me being dead (i am at college, far away from my parents).

  he also told my parents that he was afraid i would no longer be a jw and in that case he wouldn't hug me again anymore; and that he was crying and felt very sad.. my dad called me today and told me all this and more.

  So sad to hear this about you and your little brother. Similar happened to me once. My youngest sister was 16 and I was already DF'd for a couple of years. Somehow we got in touch and she told me she didn't want to be a JW. At that time I also had email contact with my parents for a short while. Apparantly they thought at that time me being DF'd wasn't a problem. One day my I stopped by the house of my parents (we were in the neighborhood while we lived 1,5 hour drive away) just to see and hug my little sister, and we did. She met my then fiance and it was all very nice. My parents did approve and knew that I had met my sister on their doorstep.

  Not long after that I asked my parents through email if I could pick up my sister for a drink somewhere. Just to have an hour or so together, just the two of us. I had no intention of talking about the WTS, just wanted to get to know my sister a little bit better and hear her stories about school and being a teenager. (I'm twenty years older and was already married and moved away from my parents house by the time she was born). My mother reacted like stung by a bee... she asked me if I had secrets, why I didn't want to meet my sister in their home, what was I planning???? In fact I wasn't planning anything, had nothing to hide, just didn't want my to get my parents in any trouble with the ever spying brs. & srs. for entering their house for a social visit. My father had said earlier on that he would allow me to stay in touch with my sister, but suddenly he had changed his mind and he told me that I had to wait until she was 18. I was so disappointed!!! And I told my father that he was a liar, because he first said something quite the contrary. All of this only because of the weird suspicions of my mother!

  My accusation of him being a liar pissed him off, as did my mother. The email contact stopped right then and there, not after he sent me a line that I'm egoistic and that he 'finished the book 'Bruja' and threw it away' (very hurtful I can tell you, since he actually said he was throwing ME away, his own daughter).

  The only time I ever saw them again was with the funeral of my grandmother two years later, where they pretended that everything was fine (see earlier posting about that). After I wrote about that on my blog they started to hate me. Since then my sister has turned into our parents 'best daughter' and a JW-extremist and a clone of my mother with the same narcissistic destructive behaviour. She is now joining my parents in shunning my JW-brother and his family, because his fifteen year old daughter recently gave birth to a baby... oops... tiny mistake from my little niece!!!! (So glad I can 'see' all this from an enormous distance and don't have any part in this whole disturbed family anymore!)

  RESPONSE: Letting Go of the Need to Have Approval - MUST READ!

  by gmason972 in

  thanks for the responses everybody!...nice to know i'm not alone in this.

  the one thing that the watchtower society has taught me is to never place your value and worth in the hands of other people!....

  once you look deep down inside yourself and let go of the need to have approval from others...you will find out things about you; you didn't know before.
