It's scary, I know. But you will know a life of open honesty and authenticity that will be a great reward - and a great strength to you and your mom as you go through this.

You're right void. I feel good, also, that I am showing my kids a better way to live.

momz, I am so sorry that you have to go through this, especially now. I think in your earlier post you meant to say Big D.

I'm not very bold at all. I can't even pick up the phone to call my mom like I used to. She is the one who turned me in to the elder in my cong many years ago. But, after being DF'd she didn't shun me for 20 years. It wasn't until about 10 years ago she started the shunning and that's what landed me here only recently.

I thought I left the JW crap behind me many years ago. I just thought I was toast if and when armageddon arrived. Nice way to live life, like every day is your last.

I never realized how fucked up my thinking was because of my up bringing until I learned it was all lies fed to me by a publishing company. Scumbags!

Sorry Big D and BFD. I am that upset that one shot of crown went right to my head!

I hate how this shit messes people up. Are there any support groups for ex Baptists? No because the Borg is so far from normal it isn't even funny. I am happy being out, I don't know where the anger is coming from.

Thanks for the hugs BFD.

I am happy for ya and concerned for ya. Keep your sister available to support you.
Remember that family members are victims of mind-control and continue to be there
for them regardless of what they say or do to you.

Congratulations on a big step toward freedom.

Thanks OTWO. My sister just told me she is proud of me. With her GF in the background laughing that the world will be coming to an end.

well, someone has to lead the way, or your mother will never get out. She may never get out anyway, my mother didn't. But good for you - telling the truth is hard sometimes!

It's always hard telling family, especially our parents. We want their approval, and we know leaving the "org" is NOT going to be met with approval. When I told my mother, it was not a good scene. I won't go into details, except to say she eventually came around.

If she freaks on you, don't react the same way. Stay calm, stand your ground and hope for the best. My thoughts are with you.

Thank you everybody, for listening to my problems. But I just realized I have it pretty damn good. Many here are still divided in their homes. I am not. Many have faced or are facing tragedies and I am not right now. I have a great hubby and monsters. I have great friends here and out of webworld. I have a beautiful home and enough to eat. And my hubby is getting a kick ass watch for Xmas.

So I apologize to those who have it much worse than I do. I'm done bitching. Thanks for putting up with it.

Here's the email I just sent Mom. No elders today.

"I am not trying to change your mind about me and Kelly. I was just wondering something.
"R" is disfellowshipped. "S" left and is basically in the same situation I
am, not disfellowshipped or disassociated. Yet you have no problem talknig to either
of them, or welcoming them into your home. I can't see a reason for the disparity.
If your grandkids want to see you, I will make every effort to make that happen.
If they want to call or email you, I will not stop them. I hope you will welcome
either situation.
You don't need to answer, it's just something that struck me as odd."

What do you think?

Well I did it, sort of.
