so i am inactive for nearly 3 years now....
huge issues dealing with molestation of my children.... long sad and sordid tale of woe and devastating outcome
i will confess to this.... for several years in the "truth" i was happy
but it is no comfort and now that i am away from the indoctrination, i question more than i pray....
i feel a numbing ambivalence.....
it is encouraging to read intelligent discussion about the issues ....
godspeed

Welcome aboard, chickenpea.
I was very ambivalent for two years or so after I became inactive. I pretty much had concluded that the JW religion was not the truth, but there was a small lingering doubt in my mind that kept me from completely abandoning it altogether. However, when I came on this discussion board and began to read alternative points of view, I became completely convinced that the Jehovah's Witnesses is a high-control religion based on unsubstantiated illusions. You have come to the right place. I wish you the best on your journey.
Welcome ((((chickpea))))! So sorry for the tale of woe.
Stay and share with us. There are many here who have walked in your shoes. I think you will find comfort in knowing you are not alone.

Welcome Chickpea! We have a nice litlle community here, stay awhile, I am looking forward to your next post!
Back in Franklin, NH in the late 70's my own 4 yr old daughter was molested along with others in a huge scandal there. It was handlesd internally, "Swept Under The Rug" and when I wanted to notify the authorities, I was notified in no uncertain terms that to do so would result in judicial commitee action. I caved, and I regret it every day.
Peace and out . .
Welcome Chickpea,
Keep reading this site and educate yourself, especially about the true history of molestation in the society. Read Ray Franz books and you will find that your doubts/feelings are valid. It takes time and prayer to come to some peace of mind, althought after today reading the Generation Change/1935 I do feel my blood beginning to boil again as it did in 1995, so glad at this time I am out of their mind control.
Peace & Love,
Sheri
