by TheApostleAK inshould i write letters to a few brothers that i am friends with in my cong (i can't speak to now alot) and the other congs in adelaide (i only see some of them every 6 months in my old congs) that i've been in, that tells them the real reason why i da'd myself.

No sympathy...but maybe a little support!
by joeshmoe ini'm heading down a path i think alot of you have gone down... and i'm certainly not looking for any sympathy here.
i've read some experiences here and at other sites that shows me that alot of folks have gone through alot worse than i am.... basically, a year ago i left brooklyn bethel after a five year stint.
already sick of structured man-worship, i struggled for while to pretend, but my heart wasn't in it.

LETTERS TO BOE/DON"T WATCH DATELINE?
by ARoarer inhas anyone seen or heard of any letters going out from headquarters to the body of elders directing them to inform the congregations not to watch dateline?
i was wondering if this is really true or just a rumor.
if it is true, this is terrible that they can actually deny members freedom of press or punishment.

Paradise is here, now.
by metatron ini wondered thru one of those massive upscale gourmet supermarkets.
and thought about 'paradise'.. they had every kind of cheese i have ever heard of - and then some!.
i have never seen so many different kinds of cheese in one place.. i concluded that a state of perfection can't offer anything .

CARROT, EGG, OR COFFEE BEAN
by Billygoat ini usually delete these type of emails, but thought it was an interesting analogy and i thought i'd share.... .
a young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.
she did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.

Where's is God's Spirit in all this ?
by Guest 77 inthe organization has always pointed to god's spirit as the force that brings increase.
this spirit has always been directed/channeled to bring praise and honor to jehovah.
in light of this information i find it difficult to understand how god's spirit can be operating on an organization that has kept silent about pedophilia and were low key about making it public and to safeguard 'all' children in 'all' congregations and in the pedophiles neighborhood?

I need to say something
by Soledad inimo and in my experience i think that sexual harassment is common among witnesses, and much like the victims of molestation the congregation elders usually cover up the actions of some or just totally ignore the allegations.
i was subjected to it often by an ms and an elder's brother, when i complained to my mother about it her response was 'well they have known you since you were born, and they didn't mean any harm' or something along those lines.
i dont wish to downplay the seriousness of pedophilia as opposed to sexual harassment, nonetheless, to all those lurking witnesses out there you all should know that these things can happen and does happen everyday, whether you care to admit to it or not.
