Ok, I guess I am a little slow, but I don't understand how this ties into what happened to the elder. Is this the elder and his family that died?

Other religions are abusive too.,
by wednesday ini know jw's are abusive psychologicaly to their members, however so are other churches.
case in point, i knew a woman who would not marry b/c the pope said not to use birth control.
she did not want children, and she could not find it within herself to go against the pope.

Steph---------I think it is unfair to say that abuse in other religions doesn't matter, considering the way in which it was brought up by Wed. She is asking what makes the JW's worse. She isn't all the way out yet and is asking our help. Those of us who have been out and have ventured elsewhere to other religions to give her a "report" as to what the difference is and what makes them better or worse than the JWs. She stated she is at a crossroad, and I think we should be supportive and help her with this. This IS a JW discussion board, but what about all the threads (fluff) that have nothing to do with the JWs. Wed was raised a JW and hasn't broke free yet, and needs some input, I find this to be very much a JW topic, since it is COMING from a JW that is on the fence and wants to know the difference between the JW and other religions. I found your comment a bit harsh.
Wed my dear. First I want to say I don't think the JW have a patent on crying abuse at all. I think since you are a JW and raised one, when your religion is attacked then it hits really close to home and you feel like everyone is saying the JW's are the worst. Alot of people here have been hurt (if not everyone in one form or another) by the JW's and so you will see alot of people saying it is worse. If you were to ask lets say---a catholic who was abused by one of the pastors, they would disagree with you, they would say the catholics are the worst. There is abuse everywhere, unfortunately. No one religion can escape that label in one form or another. What is abuse to one person isn't to another. This is a tough one for me to give advice on as far as where to go to church, since I have decided not to go, but I feel no need to do so. The fact that you do, isn't a bad thing and I can understand why you have that need, but all you can do is try and maybe find a non-denominational church and go from there. The fact that your hubby doesn't feel the same will make this hard. Why don't you try looking on the internet for a place you feel comfortable. I am sure there are sites in our area that are put up by local churches. You could try that, but that is the only advice I can give in that dept.
Love ya,
And you ask any ? you want to, some will agree and some won't that is the beauty of having so many people here.

Hello, just thought I'd share my newbie story
by WingCommander insince i am new on this forum, just thought i'd share my story.
(though it seems typical on here) born into jw's.
parent's nutty jw friends told them to raise children like nazi's, and not allow them to do anything, or associate with anyone other than jw kids.
