they showed families who were trying to be more "modern" (think big love).

to me, they seemed a bit evasive in their answers.

i don't know...the women on the show still looked miserable to me, although they claimed they were as happy as clams.. www.oprah.com.

background: my mother was raised in the taylorites, a different cult, with many similarities to the witnesses.

i asked my aunt (who has left the group) what happened when my mom was df'd and here is what she wrote.

it gave me alot of insight into the depression bouts and suicidal thoughts that my mom had while i was growing up.

Was told about another JW molester in Ontario
by truthsearcher in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
a storekeeper and i got into a conversation about the witnesses yesterday and i told him about the recent lawsuit settlements for pedophiles by the watchtower.

that prompted his memory of a local case where a witness was being molested by daddy and brother, went to the elders, told she was lying, nothing done to dad and big bro.

years later, she finally got up the nerve to do something about it, the case went to court, charges were laid.
