Good day!
I saw your site on a JW Recovery FB page and I thought it was interesting. I admire what you are doing. I am also in Indiana. I have no report
to make, I just wanted to thank you for doing this. In our XXXX, Indiana congregation we had an incident many years ago of a teen molesting
a child. The 2 families were at odds after that, & since the elders didn’t report anything, all that happened was the teens family simply
changed congregations. The child and his family did not attend any meetings until they were gone, and it was some time before they did
leave. As if nothing was wrong. The teens family was a favorite of one of the local elders and he never saw any wrong with the entire family,
as he had studied with them and the entire family of 6 came to be JW’s thru him. I think pride was involved in his not reporting the crime.
Eventually, several years later, all of the elders were removed at that KH, a clean sweep by a judicial committee. New elders were brought in
from other nearby congregations. All we know is that most of them can never be elders again. For various reasons. This was a few years
after the molestation. The elder in question re: the molestation, told his adult children that his wife of 60 years can never know WHY he was
formally removed because it would kill her. Ok, I say, WTH? He did something really bad then. Right? He wasn’t DF, and had to beg and beg
to retain his position as a full time pioneer. So, he did something very bad. We do not know. This happened to him about a year after we
stopped going, back in 2002. But he never did the right thing re: the child a few years before. So, I think that was still sullying his reputation.
He couldn’t explain it later, it was too late. So, we don’t know what he ever did so wrong. The teen/child thing was well known, so that was not
kept from his wife. He was removed for other reasons and that may have been part of it. But as they are told to protect the pedo, I think he
did something himself to get removed for. Having nothing to do with that. He is in his 80’s now. He also studied with my husband & myself and
we became JW’s in 1974. Thru him. A decision I will forever regret with all my might. In one of your protest photos in Canada, there is a sign
referencing Jim Jones. Wasn’t he at one time, a JW? So, he knew how to brainwash and keep people in a cult. He learned from the experts!
The JC Duggard thing is sickening. I also followed that story. I didn’t know they were out in service that day. Of course the news didn’t call it
that.  I am glad they were tho, just so the JW’s can have the shame of that on them! They do indeed need investigated by the feds. I never
thought of them as trespassers before I read your site. That’s so true!

Nowdays, nobody wants strangers on their property. The JW’s themselves risk it by doing that. Trespassing is also a crime. So, they daily
commit crimes! I never even thought of that. I saw many of those signs in yards when we would go in service, but we were told it doesn’t apply
to us. *We were doing Jehovah’s work, not robbing and stealing*. But, how does the homeowner know that? They don’t! I don’t know if they
do much door to door anymore there, but here up north of Indy. Never see them. We left in 2002, for decades of reasons! and I have never
seen an elder at my door not once! They came when I was at work one day and my husband met them outside & told them what the deal
was. They never came back. I think there was a lot going on at the KH, in private, that we didn’t know about. So, they were pretty
preoccupied with all that and trying to NOT get DF’d, all of them! My grown kids at the time, 16 & 18, left too. We never looked back. In fact,
they were just baptized 4 mos prior to us leaving. We really blindsided everybody I am guessing. But nobody has followed up and that’s fine.
We are not DF, just stopped going. All of us. We have a much more complete life now, as normal persons in society. We have big holiday
celebrations, and we call it what it is. Unlike the JW’s, who also have the holidays, they just cloak it in secrecy and call it another name. But
we know, we always knew. We were forbidden to have the holidays with our real familys but they all have Thanksgiving together and x-mas,
they just call it Party Day and exchange gifts. All the while telling us we can’t be with our families. It has ruined our lives and relationships and
we have slowly tried to repair that. I can never forgive them for that and many other things. Thank goodness my kids got out while they were
still teenagers. Thank you again for being there for the kids and victims of the JW’s. I do hope you succeed in getting an federal investigation
going against them. They have cov’d it up long enough! Happy Holidays to you and have a great week. & Thank you for taking the time to
read a bit of our experience in the cult. GOOD LUCK to you!!!! I will stay with it for updates!

Indiana Kingdom
Halls of Jehovah's
Witnesses in:
Studies show us that the more sexually repressed the religion, the more child
sexual abuse occurs among its members. Phillip Garrido, for example, who
kidnapped Jaycee Dugard and held her as a sex slave for 18 years, was a
Jehovah Witness minister. Police were only alerted when he tried to take the
babies that he fathered with Jaycee onto a University campus to preach and
distribute Watchtower magazines. Do you want these people on your private
property, knocking on your door, talking to your children?
Even especially prominent JW Representatives, like
Robert Edinger, of Bedford (Mitchell Kingdom Hall),
for example, repeatedly intoxicated his son with alcohol at
the age of 14 or younger, following years of stripping him
and beating him. That son survived, however, earned a
PHD in Religion at the University of Southern California,
and is now fighting back, especially because my father is
taking advantage of the fact that my mom has Alzheimer's
and cannot express her wishes clearly. After a lifetime of
being an attentive son to my mother, now, when she has
Alzheimer's and can no longer defend her wishes, my
father capitalizes on this and keeps me away from her,
because I am not a JW.  I have come to realize now, at
the age of 54, that child abuse among Jehovah's
Witnesses lasts a lifetime. And this web site represents
the expression of a lot of hostility over a lot of stupidity
of those in power in this organization with their proud
egos, not even taking into consideration the consequences
of these failed policies that tear families apart, if not
sooner, then later. Many family members of JWs suffer,
and we need solidarity in order to face these challenges.
Adult Survivors of
Jehovah Witness
Child Abuse
Jehovah Witnesses invade private property with no permission of any kind, by surprise,
sometimes when you are not at home. Often, they solicit home bible studies with children.
Sometimes, they come to visit when you are away from your home and unable to protect your
family. They have all of Bloomington, Bedford, and Mitchell, Indiana mapped out into
territories for door-to-door canvassing, hoping to be invited to a return visit.

The law does nothing to stop this invasion of your private property, since it is considered to
be within their 1st amendment rights to solicit our conversions. The only recourse that you
have is to notify them that you do not want to be called on and then they will put you on their
Do Not Call list. Inform them that Jehovah Witnesses are not allowed on your property. Only
by having notified them will you be able to put legal force behind your no trespassing sign.
We urge you to do this as soon as possible. Protect your children! Tell the Jehovah Witness
representatives listed on the right, or the number in your local phone book,  that under no
circumstances do you want them to call at your home!
We, those of us who had this fearsome and violent ideology thrust
upon us in our infancy, we are the principal victims of this fossilized,
anachronistic, destructive, and dangerous philosophy of idolatry of
self that the JWs try to force with violence upon silent lambs.

The Jehovah's Witnesses organization is built on fear, not truth, fear
of the almighty warrior god Jehovah, fear of the end of the world, fear
of one's neighbors or classmates, or most of all, displeasing the
elders, being spied upon, the threat of being outcast and unable to
even socialize with one's own mother. Much worse, however, is that
they go door-to-door trying to scare us, bothering us when we are
trying to enjoy a family meal or getting ready for work. They want you
to be afraid as well, so that you will donate to their cause.

the cover up of sexual abuse. We are investigating a particularly egregious case that has been
reported to us involving three local congregations of Jehovah Witnesses in Bloomington, Bedford, and
Mitchell, Indiana. Please help to inform the ministers (elders) of these congregations that they have
a legal duty to report child sexual abuse to local law enforcement agencies!
