Over the past three years I have dropped a few points about why I am no longer attending meetings . Nothing in depth .
I did stress alot of it was due to never feeling good enough , the emotional pressure to follow organizational rules over my own conscience and my personal objection of how education is discouraged . I also have shared with my kids their whole life that when i was raised ,Armegeddon fears were rammed down my throat ,Something I refused to do to them .
I have worried excessivly how my older two sons would respond to me once they realized I am never going back .
Well my son came home for a visit to go out and celebrate my birthday this weekend ! We have had several chats and he has been researching different religions and the history of religion . He said the witnesses told us WHAT to believe not HOW to believe . He also said they never encourged people to think for themselves .
I asked him if he has ever read anything on JWD .....and he said the last time he was home visiting he had looked at my favorites .......and yes he has lurked a bit reading things about 1975 ,607 ....ect :)
I am a happy mom tonight . I feel I can be totally open to him now . I am going to ask if he wants to borrow my COC book.
