Killing in the name of....
by Confusedalot inmy story:.
i grew up as one of jehovah's witnesses with all the normal complications which include but are not limited to: having no friends because the other kids are worldly and the other witnesses are not spiritual enough, being tormented every day at school for not saluting the flag, not participating in birthdays, not swearing, being a virgin and using the name of god.
this was not only verbal and emotional torment but even progressed to physical abuse.. through all this jehovah was my only friend and i used to pray a lot, and felt that all of these things don't matter as long as i have him.. after school and starting work i met someone and we got married.

Effectiveness of exposing child abuse
by Tallon inthought i would try and gauge your views on the effectiveness of current child abuse exposure within the jw's.. i am aware of the arc investigation into historical and current child abuse, the uk charity commission investigation, and the excellent work of trey bundy.. however, how effective has the above been in exposing child abuse?.
would not an investigation in the manner of spotlight, be more effective in exposing it to a wider audience?
to prove that the abuse is 'systemic'?.

IICSA investigations
by Phoebe inhaving just watched john cedars latest youtube video i am appalled that jws do not make up part of the investigation into institutions that have failed to protect children from sexual abuse.. i have emailed and begged them to reevaluate their decision.. if anyone else wants to do so, this is the email i used, i don't know if it's the right one, it's on their website..

Maintenance Co-ordinator
by Phoebe ini don't know if anyone has mentioned this, i've scrolled through to see but don't see anything.. last saturday our congregation had a special meeting and everyone was supposed to attend.
i didn't go of course because i'm trying to stay away but my jw neighbor filled me in.
a brother and his wife came and he has a title, i think it's maintenance coordinator or something.
