    Welcome to the board! So glad you found us...Sorry to read about your Father-in-law... Talk about the suicide bombers. We were just as dedicated werent we.? Loved to die for GOD!!! I believe God examines hearts,,,, In effect we were in the postion that Christ was ! Giving of ourselves. When all that was needed was faith. NOT WORKS!!! we had all been paid for in MY OPINION!!!

    Enjoy the site of Unconditional love (HUG)

    Welcome Mercedes and hubby.

    Also a hearty welcome to the new poster EC.

    Here is to hoping that for every poster that finally registers and gets on the board, there are a dozen more in the wings.

    I have just got out of bed here in OZ land and was so suprised to see all your encouragement although I shouldnt be suprised Ive been lurking on this board for a couple of years.

    I had the best night sleep last night as I feel for the first time we are truly understood by so many people!Thankyou all for your help and I will reveal our story over time.

    Our current situation is we have 2 beautiful girls 11 and 8. My eldest found our exit the hardest as she loved the meetings etc. She has a deep love of God and spiritual matters but every time I let my mum take her to meetings she became distressed, was having nightmares, and generally unhappy. So we have put a stop to this as I feel its our responsibility to teach her not my mums and I dont want her indoctrinated as we were growing up full of fear, something that to this day is very hard to shake!

    All of our family are jws except my 2 sisters, so when we left we of course left all our friends behind. That has been an interesting journey in itself.

    Thanks again for listening, I feel great knowing you are all here! Mercedes x
