  Please please call the police and get an attorney first. Once you do that, and get it all out in the open, then the congregation might be embarassed, and a little more inclined to have to discipline her. I am not saying that they will.

  But having her disciplined through the congregation is not the most important thing to do here. Handling this legally is.

  On a side note here, I recently confronted my elder father, about ANOTHER elder, father of one of my friends growing up, who had molested his own daughter. I asked if this was ever handled. He adamantly shook his head up and down and said "oh, believe me it was handled!!!!!" I said "you mean you told the police?" (remember he was an elder at the time). He looked at me in shock, and said "well no".

  Just to give you a little example of how the elders dont handle things.

  I am so sorry that you went through something so horrible. Hang in there.

  i want this to be light hearted, butttttttttttt.

  is there a difference between the ones here who where brought up in the the truth and the ones who fell for it as an adult.

  what made me think was a few comments on other threads like "it wasnt my fault i was a dub, i was brought up in it".

  I like this question, its a real good one.

  Speaking from my own perspective, I can tell you that its real hard to be brought up in it. When you are taught all the bologna, at the same time you are taught your ABC's, "brush your teeth" "dont play with fire", basic fundamental stuff all kids are taught (Dub or not) it makes it more difficult to differentiate between what is necessary, or real and what is WTS brainwashing.

  Three years ago this month, I left the JWs...

  the exact day, lost in a memory that was unconcerned with the details of the moment, is unimportant.

  what is important is that three years ago -- in may of 2002 -- i left the jws.

  it was at the end of the month, for i realized soon afterword that this would be the first month since becoming a publisher that i did not turn in my time.

  I have come to the understanding that leaving the Witnesses is a process, a developmental process of growth

  I think you are right on there Bradley. I used to remind myself of that, and still do, it makes it all easier to handle. Congratulations on your anniversary!

  Counsel by school overseer...

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  what was your worst point of counsel?

  i think for most men, it was gesturing to an audience while trying to make it look natural.

  i remember writing on my notes to gesture and to speak slowly... what was your hardest point of counsel to work on?.

  I thought it was ironic to receive speech counsel from a brother who had a terrible stuttering problem, and would pronounce father, FADDER and brother BRODDER...

  Do you have dreams that you're still in the org.?

  it's weird.

  i haven't been to a meeting in eight years, but at least once a month, i have a dream that i'm at a meeting or out in service or at an assembly or in some other witness-related situation.

  it's like those school dreams where you dream you have a calculus final that morning and you haven't been to class all semester.

  I used to, but not anymore. Seems like the longer I stayed away, they eventually went away.

  i think i might (if it is possible) be.......slightly...inclined toward foot fetishism....but only slightly.

  but, i find that i look at attractive feet and find them esthetically pleasing.

  and......slightly (only slightly) exciting.. i have no idea what this means.

  Lots of things... but not sure if I want to embarass myself, so here's the not so embarassing a nice broad chest that flows into muscular arms, on a man, I mean
