One of my friends who is also an ex-JW gave me the recent Awake magazine. Her mom is a JW (says she is one of the anointed actually) and gave it to Hayley for me because she knows I have a child. The magazine is on protecting kids from sexual abuse. I cried so hard while reading the articles. Where were the elders and the ones that were suppose to protect me while I was being sexually abused by a man in the congregation? Where was my support? The elders had nothing to say to me. I wonder if things have finally started to improve because so many of us have stepped forward? Unfortunately it is too late for me... I will never step foot in another Kingdom Hall again.
