  hey all,.

  have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.

  isn't this too much of a coincidence?

  life is to short

  When I told an elder what my dad had done to me as a child the elder looked straight at me and told me I was LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then the whole elder body said I was mentally crazy. The real kicker was even though my dad was a baptized JW they did not like him. My whole growing up all the elders treated my dad and by extension my family like we were scum on their feet. I remember once on the way back from an summer assembly our car broke down and my dad was able to pull into a rest stop, an elder just happened to be right next to us. When he looked over and saw us with the smoke billowing out from under the hood of the car, the elder put his car in reverse and burned rubber leaving. I was ten and I still remember the sick feeling I had in my gut with the hate I saw in that elder's eyes toward my dad and I felt myself.

  I was a 45 year old women at the time I told the elder that, not some young child or teenager. I was crushed and tried to commit suicide at that age. I was still a very true believer. I cannot imagine how a child could face an elder like that one. Than I found this sight and from this sight I learned TTATT.

  I got more comfort from this sight than I ever did in my 45 plus years as a JW. Flipper and his wife, OTWO, Madgwitch, Lois Lane, so many reached out and I have become friends with.

  Never once did I ever feel like that women in the JW faith.

  exJW Psychology 102--How to Ask a Question When Questions Aren't Allowed

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that enough time has passed and i've moved away, i think i'm overdue to share some of the stories from my fade.

  i've mentioned some of this before, but i think it deserves its own thread.. we all would like to be able to freely ask questions about jw beliefs and get our family and friends to really think about certain questions.

  however, when you're a baptized jw, you really can't ask any good questions or you'll get the "apostate" label slapped on you!

  straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.

  it was one of the people who are working on it.

  firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.

  I watched Mr. Jackson last night with my super cult minded parents

  by Magwitch in

  2. scandals

  i have seen some ask on this site how the active jw's are handling what is happening in australia.

  here is my little experience from last night........ my parents were baptized in the late 30's as children and have never faltered in their determination to survive the great tribulation and live forever in paradise (even though they actively associate with all their df'ed kids).

  my father is still actively serving as an elder and my mother has always been by his side.

  I think it was so kind of you Magwitch to be with you parents but I also think it is just so hugely sad the way they reacted.

  It's such a way of life for them but its just so sad that they have put their trust in such a false hope. I agree with you though at their age there is noting to gain by trying to change them.

  I totally agree username. i also loved when Mr. Stewart gave Jackson the page number in the Bible.

  I have such respect for both the Judge and Mr. Stewart.

  GB member Geoffrey Jackson is lying!

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  Did you hear Stewart use the bible to prove an incredibly good point to Jackson!!

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i thought at the end, stewart made brilliant use of scripture (about establishing fornication or other sexually immoral practises) how, in such a clever way stewart used scripture to point out that some one could basically stake out someone's house to see if a person stayed over night be they homosexual or heterosexual............that on the basis of a sort of stakeout, the two witness rule was ambivalent yet it prevailed.

  due to sufficient suspicion.. and therefore why did this "suspicion" not prevail with child sexual abuse.
