Story from Abbotsford
by the_classicist inthe people in this story sure sound like jw's, especially the part about birthdays and christmas... it doesn't say in the article though.
i think the judge's comment is quite interesting.

Could you help me understand
by IP_SEC ini guess i have a little problem understanding the abuse issue .
1. because i only just now started looking into it and am overwhelmed by all of the info.
2. because this happened in my congo back in the late 70s and the guy was 'hung'.

Are Dubs warned about JWD at Meetings?
by Low-Key Lysmith ini havn't been to a meeting in years.
i was just wondering if this site is talked about @ meetings, and/or in the publicatons.
i'm sure reproof or disfellowshipping would be instant if a dub was found looking into such "apostacy".

For those raised as JWs...
by Country Girl ini have found that while i can remember my childhood from ages 3-5, i can't remember much after that until i was 17 or so.
my mom came into the jws when i was 3, and i remember celebrating our last christmas.
it was a small christmas tree on the end table and it had a present for each of us (2 kids).

I was Molested by my CO grandfather
by AshtonCA ini was molested by my grandfather from the age of 3 to 7. he was also molesting his daughter (my aunt) and maybe others.
it was covered over and my entire family was actually shunned when we went to the elders when i was 18. i did not tell anyone about it until then because my grandfather had me believing our relationship was special and it was our little secret.. when confronted, he of course denied it.
my mother even spoke up of a time when he had tried to molest her when she was 8 months pregnant with one of my brothers.
