Welcome, sorry to hear about your family situation, I hope it gets better in time. It is amazing how everything becomes logical and makes sense when you leave, it is so hard to explain it to someone whose whole life revolves around it.

Hello All
by Jeremiah1958 inhi to everyone, my name is jerry, i am 56 and i live in tralee, kerry ireland.
i will not bore you with the all too familiar details, suffice it to say i was a prime candidate for indoctrination/ brainwashing.
the surprising aspect is that my wife, a staunch catholic started a study soon after i did.

Where to go from here...
by Patrickday ini'm new around here, but i've been browsing the site the last few days in hopes of finding the answer to the situation i've been going through, so hopefully you can help me.
i met this girl in highschool, but never really spoke with her until about a year after i graduated.
she's three years younger (however it's legal where i'm from, don't fret) and still a teenager.

This sounds very similar to the film Worlds Apart, if you can get your hands on a copy I recommend you watch it

Pedophile Elder in jail gets reinstated
by Trapped in JW land inthere was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.

I am assuming he will be on some sort of sex offenders register. Ask the elders if they have checked this.
Ask the elders how he can prove his repentance as he is unlikely to have had access to porn or children whilst in prison and therefore his 'works' whilst incarcerated cannot be taken into account. I suspect there will be a 'confidentiality clause' to the answer.
Ask the elders how they are going to be 'protecting' the young ones at the hall before during and after meetings, how will they be protecting them at social gatherings, how will they be protecting children that he will see whilst out on the door to door work.
Ask how many in your hall would like him as a neighbour in the 1,000 year rule before he is made perfect, if the idea makes your skin crawl how would it make a supposedly Loving Father feel, if the holy spirit was truly with the judicial committee then they must have gone against it. (I do not beleive there is a Loving Father or holy spirit)

He may not want a tattoo and is using it as an excuse, have they spoken about where their relationship is going, what are their plans? It could be the cognitive dissonance kicking in, he might have been able to justify holding hands and kissing and thinks he can hide it, a tattoo is not so easily hidden. There is not enough to go on, I would suggest however that the girl be very wary of having a relationship with a JW, they will not always act rationally or with human feeling.

I'd say the sixth sense is 'common sense', some have it and some don't

I'm bumping this as the original OP seems to have been hijacked, please can it get back to the point that this girl needs some help through the petition.

This seems very real and harrowing. I don't see any link to a petition though.
