    Man, you always manage to find the silver lining behind the cloud! Your posts try to find something posititive to say and I really enjoy reading them.

    I am sorry to hear about the marriage trouble between your parents. I am praying that somehow the Lord will use you and your exit from the cult to help bring healing to them. However, there will definitely be some elder involvement, won't there, if she moves out? How will that affect your fade? (i.e. will there be nosy elders around, wanting to know why she is being unsubmissive, and what did you have to do with the whole thing?) (((((((R.F.))))))))) --here's a virtual hug to help you in the days ahead!

    Wow R.F. you have a lot going on dont ya. I hope it all works out for you and your mum. It sounds like a good plan, but only you know the ins and outs of it all. Good Luck.

    Thank you everyone, and TS, you sure can brighten a day.

    I really don't think I have to worry about elder involvement with this issue. In fact the elders know how he really is, most of the cong knows actually. My mom went to them for years about my dad and they told her it would do no good to talk to him. She has reasons, based on WT rules, to seperate.

    My dad, knowing that I wanted to please Jehovah, use to say this to me and my siblings in our very early childhood years........

    "You know when your mom leaves and you go with her you won't be in Jehovah's favor. You know she doesn't go to meetings."

    It's sounds like he has been manifesting his wife and children leaving for years. He got exactly what he wanted.

    It certainly sounds like a temporary fix, as you decide what you want to do with your life, and where ultimately you want to live. Mom sounds great, and she will not be hounding you about meeting attendance. Good luck!!!!

    Hey at least she's a "roommate" that you won't have any stress over learning to live with.

    Build that savings, help your mom, and get some education that will let you totally walk away with your head held high.

    RF,

    If your mom wanting out of the JW's as well or is she just interested in getting away from your dad?

    I bring this up because if your mom is just looking to leave your father and not the cult at this time, you might be in for a rough ride later on down the line if you move in with her. If she gets depressed or pressured back to the meetings you will have problems trying to break free for good. You love your mom but you really need to think this through and be prepared for either a positive or negative outcome.

    Good luck and take care.
