Just saying hi, and I am soooooo glad to find this site. I have been out of the org. for about 7 years now, and am just now feeling fully free. It is amazing the hold they have on you. It takes a while to de-program yourself. My hubby doesn't go to meetings anymore, but still has a Mom that beats him to death about it. I don't know if I will ever fully get him to just tell them to take a flyin' leap. Maybe with the help and information here I can get some good ammo!!
Glad I found this place!!!

So true. And everyone is different. I think I have succeeded and then something else comes up and those old feelings come back. I am glad you found this place too. Welcome.

Welcome to JWD. Another good source of "ammo" is www.freeminds.org if you haven't found it already.

I've faded out of the org 30 years ago, yet still occasionally get flak from my JW mom. If I told her to take a "flyin' leap," it would be the end of our relationship, which I still treasure despite the JW problems in it.
I agree with you that it's a good idea to line up your ammunition, but be sure it's absolutely necessary before you use it. I wouldn't attempt to destroy the relationship between mother and son unless there's no other choice. -

Welcome, Payinu! I've been out for about 6 years, but somehow, that JW stuff is always having an impact on my life in one way or another. Hope you stick around and enjoy the site!
