I had the volume up at maximum but I still could hardly hear it.

Excellent. Courageous girl. The volume is low, but it is worth straining to hear this moving presentation.

TheListener

That was unbelievably well done! It brought tears to my eyes.

If only I could get my wife to watch something like that.

FayeDunaway

She is fabulous. I was wiping away tears, too.

It's still kind of surreal to hear someone expressing out loud thoughts that had been so internal for me for so long.

I don't want to cry before I go out on errands.

Yes, make sure you have some tissues ready😢

Ok you can start hating me now. Did she speak with those women personally or were they people on a forum that she never met in person? We all know that every story on a forum is accurate. Can one congregation have all that drama? If so it would be so sad. Though I agree with her premise, the info is one sided and I think people should have the chance to defend themselves. Hope it motivates someone to think twice, but I'm not buying every word as from a reliable source.

Shame shame shame to you who remain elders after hearing this.

This is what it feels like for women in Your Org that you support.

It doesn't matter if those stories were complete fabrications - the Organization's stance on sexual assault is laid out in their literature. Sexual assault DOES occur, and when it does they DO blame the victim, and they DO NOT take action against offenders, even going so far as to try to humanize them, defend them. The Organization has stated in the past that if a women doesn't scream, she's guilty. Read the verses in Deuteronomy that this idiotic principle is based off of - this is coming from a time when a woman's only value was as a virgin.

What kind of person would stand behind that?
