Rejected by Immediate Family

by LoriJis in

friends

as most of you know, my husband and i da's ourselves almost 8 months ago.

the communication with my family stayed pretty normal.

they would call once in a while and text me.

The loss of extended family is one of my biggest regrets of being a witness. Of course this was all out of my control and was told that 'they' did not want anything to do with us because we became JWs. We got together on a regular basis with extended family until we became JWs, then it all ended.

Embrase your extended family. Understand your being upset, but don't think it would do any good to email them. It would just validate their actions of shunning to try to get you to return.

Are they really that bad???

by anonymous4 in

had a good look into the doctrine, beliefs and practices of jws and to be honest, i don't really see anything wrong with it at all.. it's biblical and i've had such an eye opener the past year or so reading some of their books and magazines .

is there really any real reasons why i shouldn't want to get involved further?

:-).

@OBVES

By your logic, It would be loving to get a gun and blow out the brains of little children so they will have a chance to live forever? This way they won't have the chance to grow up godless and then die forever? Could I save the young children in my family by doing this? It would really be loving in the long run, wouldn't it?

JW paid 13-year-old girl to keep quiet about sex abuse

by behemot in

a man who sexually abused a 13-year-old girl and took obscene photographs of her has been jailed for three years four months.. liverpool crown court heard that 54-year-old geoffrey massey would pay the teenager after molesting her at his home in an attempt to keep her quiet.. but his crimes eventually came to light after he confessed to his daughter, who told other relatives.. in april, following the revelations, his young victim took an overdose and had to be treated at hospital.. jailing 54-year-old massey, who is a jehovah's witness, judge adrian lyon said i have regard for the totality of the offences and in particular the last count, which dealt with a number of photographs you took of the child, aged 13, on your behalf.. there seems to have been a number of occasions on which you engaged in sexual activity with this child.. when the girl was interviewed by police she initially denied massey had done anything wrong.

she told officers he had given her the money for cleaning work.. but after officers re-interviewed her after getting more information, she revealed what had been happening, saying she had felt too foolish to admit it.. massey, of twickenham drive, leasowe, admitted sexual activity with a child, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one further offence of making indecent photographs.. the pictures were never discovered because he had deleted them from his computer.. lee bonner, defending, said once his client had begun the abuse he was too scared to stop for fear his victim would expose his crimes.. essentially, once he had begun he found it very difficult to stop, not because of any particular sexual satisfaction, but because once it had begun and he had begun to give her money he feared the complainant might tell people when the flow of money stopped.. mr bonner told how massey, who had no previous convictions, had left his family, but had been the subject of a hate campaign in his community.. source: http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/8718393.jehovah_s_witness_paid_13_year_old_girl_to_keep_quiet_about_sex_abuse/.

Hasn't the WT organization done the same thing. Pay off victims with $ and a gag order to keep their mouth shut.

To: Ex-JW Women - Your Side

by Amazing in

jw
friends

ex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.

how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?

did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Mental torture

by stuckinamovement in

it is pretty interesting to see the mental, emotional and physical impact that people have when realize the teachings of the org are lies.

i am not going to name any names or point fingers but i can say i have tremendous empathy for those who are recently aware.. let me splane,.

now that i know about the lies that i have been taught and subsequently taught people myself, i have become like a lost person.

Until you move past the anger and how to cope, the WT cult is still controlling you. Don't give them that.

You can't change what is in the past, so keep moving forward and appriciate the fact that this cult did not control you for your entire life. You got out, many do not! That is something to be happy about!

I found that once I spent the needed time to de-program myself from the borg, spending less time at ex-jw sites helped for me to reduce the emotional effects.

to all men in their 40ies or older

i must admit, that i love being with youger woman.

i m 44 now, and so far the partners i had, where between 3 and 15 years younger, which i consider okayish.

but recently, i ve had email offers from girls between 19 and early 20. now i really don t know what to think about that.

Stealth

I tried it once at age 40 with a 23 y/o. It was a bit weird that I was only a couple years younger than her dad. I found older is the way to go. Less drama, more experienced, had more in common, no little kids that can come with a younger woman.

Dating a JW for 3 yrs

by justbreathe825 in

my bf and i are thinking on getting married.

i posted a foum early this week on whether or not i should get baptized.

i decided not to.. now even though he says he "doesn't care" he got upset last night when i mentioned the subject and how confused i was.

"How did you ever come to be dating this guy in the first place? Do you realize that it is probably because as a non-JW girl, you were a lot more "fun" to be with, and unlikely to go running to the elders when he pressed you for sexual favors?"

This is a good question considering there are something like 5 available women for every available man in this religion. And look how often we hear these same kind of stories here on a regular basis.

I think the religion itself is responsible for this phenomenon. Who would buy a car without a test drive first? Not most people, and you can always trade a bad car later. Yet this is what they expect when it comes to choosing a life long partner. With a 5 to 1 ratio of women to men, why the need to even look elsewhere? Just another sick symptom of this high control cult .
