Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

Here is the link to another JWN's story about this pervert. Confession was an elder on the judicial committee.

My MIL wasn't the only person who saw it. She did think the elders would step in and 'handle it'. They didn't. I am sick to my stomach about it and am trying to find a way to get this reported. The sick pervert was NEVER prosecuted. It was very bold of him to do this and it tells me he felt very safe and comfortable.

My MIL's circuit assembly was this past weekend. She came over for dinner to our home after the assembly. In conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference! The boy was maybe 3-5 yrs old and he was apparently the son of a study who rode to the assembly with the family.
My MIL said she just "prayed to jehovah to be able to pay attention to the brother's talk and not worry about seeing him walk with that little boy." I couldn't believe that no one thought to follow him into the bathroom or get a brother to do it and make sure the young one was okay. My MIL is a die-hard and almost 80 years old.
Is there anything more we can/should do to make sure this sick pervert doesn't have access to children? This guy was DF'd for several years when a few of his victims came forward. He denied it-they all told the same story.

"Cabin in the Woods" a mockery of the Judeo/christian Myth?
by hamsterbait insaw it today.. realised soon it was about an ancient death cult, who had updated its technology.. but the idea of watchers - guiding and manipulating depending on the culture_.
philosophically, i thought this was a major criticism of the religious myths of the west, where the true nature of reality is like the back stage of a theater, with god and satan watching us all and pushing buttons as required.. i always hated the proverb about god "wrecking the work of your hands" simply because you didnt tell him he is wonderful.. the gory end was so ott that i was laughing.. what did you think of this chiller thriller??.

After I learned the truth about the JW"s, I called my aunt and apologized for shunning her. She had been a JW and joined the Mormon's. Me, being the good JW i was, shunned her when she told me of her decision to join the Mormon's.
I hadn't spoken to her for at least 4 or 5 years when I made the call. I really missed her and am glad that we were able to mend the relationship.
Here is my post about it:
And my mom is now aware that me and my aunt are talking and back to our previous relationship. Mom is fine with it. :)

An Elder's honest opinion...saw this on another site...thoughts?
by MsGrowingGirl20 inby "shadow elder".
before i express my opinion to the readers and contributors to this website (www.ex-jw.com), i would like to explain who i am and to present my bona fides as someone qualified to comment on this website and jehovah's witnesses in general.. first of all, i am an active jehovah's witness living just outside of new york city.
being a large metropolis, new york has many kingdom halls located within the city and several more in surrounding boroughs, counties, and suburbs.

Learning from every experience in life-good or bad- is my goal. But.... I find that there are a few things that I just can't take back from those days:
1. Told on some friends who were engaging in 'immoral conduct' that resulted in one of them being disfellowshipped. At the time, it was 'keeping the congregation clean'. I feel horrible about that now-still.
2. Didn't get a college education. My oldest son is in college now and the younger one will go also. It's a requirement of ours as their parents for them to do better then we did.
3. Shunned my aunt who had left and joined a new religion. We have since reunited and put the past behind us but the time we were apart can't be returned to us. Damn, Stupid JW's separating families. Shameful!!
4. Can't share with my mom why I left because it would force her to choose the JW's or me. I would NEVER want to put her in that position.

I am 100% happy as well. It took awhile for me to break free of the mental grips the WT had on me but, time made it better. Once I realized TTATT(the truth about the truth), I embraced life with everything.
The most difficult aspect for me was dealing with my mom who is still in. It has been hard to deal with knowing that she desparately wants me to return and that is never gonna happen.
