New start

It has been a while since I have posted here.
I thought I would post some good news. A progress report of sorts.

My new job is going great. I love the work and the people I work with.
I feel very comfortable with the job and the atmosphere of the workplace.
A great thing too, is I have gotten a lot of compliments on my work.
Yay!

I recently talked with my dad. It was a very good conversation.
I told him about me leaving the JWs. I even gave him the link to my story.
He had never heard the Zelda story, so it was an eye opener to him.
Plus, it opened the way for further discussion about things that happened in my childhood.
It seems that my mom (and brother) have deceived me on a regular basis about my dad and what happened.

He never was interested in JWs and wasn't given apostate literature.
Instead, he did his own research and found books about JWs by ex-JWs.

I have also been trying to associate more with my dad's side of the family.
I recently spent a day with my grandfather. We played cribbage and shoveled snow.
It is nice to have someone who cares. There is still a little barrier there.
But it is my fault, I have no trust. I fear trusting others still.

I have started looking for a girl friend (not Zelda).
I have had a couple potentials, but nothing has worked out.

On the whole, life has been looking up.
Thanks for your support JWD!

Good to see you! How wonderful that you are clearing things up with your dad! I didn't know about any Zelda, but if it is over, then you have opportunity to make a really good choice in your next partner.

I hope your job continues to be a source of pleasure for you. Everyone should have a job like that:)

My husband remembered I hate red roses this year and brought me some gorgeous yellow ones. I'm pretty happy bout that:)

Actually JWdaughter,
if you read my story then you would know about Zelda.
Just know it is a sad story (and kind of long).

Hi metaspy - I went back and read your story. I'm am absolutely blown away that these elders still found fault with such an outstanding "Brother" I know it doesn't help but I'm really sorry for the way the treated you - It's so true that they'll do anything/say anything to find that fault.

I'm happy to hear that life is going a lot more better for you. May you continue to prosper and go from joy to joy.

Metaspy -

Your story is just another example of the WTS mindset. Its all about authoritarianism.

I'm glad you've found some connections with your Dad's family.
