Mon Ami Confession,
I, CoCo, express my sympathy and hopes that, what you knew was an eventuality, will be endurable. It can't be easy, now that it's official. Wishing you the best.
Coco/Burning Bush [consultations for you are ALWAYS free!]
It's now official: I've "turned apostate."

Dear Confession,
Hang in there, you are among many who have and are going through the same thing. We sure have..it's not fun, but it is einevitable (spelling??).
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty

I am glad to see you have your daughter with you. Family is so important and the fact that your ex is taking a stance too is amazing.
Blessing to you in your firm standing.

Yeah - you *do* have that special Apostate look.
I remember someone you'd never even met before declared you an apostate out in public once. Or maybe she was talking about me.
The more time goes, the more crazy those phrases and beliefs are. Sometimes it's embarrasing to remember that I used to think and say the same things.
You're still one of my personal favorite Apostates.
-Aude.

It is sad that people whether old friends or family must stick a name to our status.
We are still human beings with feelings. We are still who we are inside, we simply don't view our previous religion in the same light. So sad that witnesses have to make such a big deal about it all.
By the way confession, I wish you and your daughter the best!

At least your mother doesn't think you are demonized as many of us have been made to feel.

That is sad. It would be nice if your mother thought like a mother and would just call you.

Sspo, I'm pretty sure that, to most JWs, "apostate" = "demonized."
