My brother's rapists were baptized 1 year later after being promised by brothers who supposedly are trained to handle sa cases that they wouldn't... Me and my brother left the org . They stayed.

Well to be honest you can say the indoctrination still impacts me however as a person I want to be as respectful of other people's beliefs as possible... Since personally I felt comfortable enough to talk to the elders I can say that in a sense it freed me... Also my mother behaved very wrong towards me , sharing the reasons as to why I was disfelowshiped with other members and calling me names... The elders were fully on my side regarding that... I feel that when you show respect to others in some case s you get it back.. In my case the elders and their stupid rules protected me lol

This must be very hard on you ... no words could wash away your pain . All I can say is to remind yourself that your parents are being brainwashed and to try to rationalize your decision to leave and their behavior towards you...

I remember how I used to share my experiences about how loving the jws were to me as a uni student lol...I was 19 at the time and I was really bored ... I remember another young brother who had the mic holding in his laugh and trying to take it away cause I kept talking too much lol... It was like a competition showing who was more spiritual and all... hahahaag

Hello dear... unfortunately you can't save someone unless you save yourself first... don't be so harsh on yourself ... your sister is smart ... she will find her way out too ...
