    This is very good.

    I hope it will get picked up on the wire and get a lot of exposure.

    It certainly makes your trials not in vain when you can show that the alienation of affection was something you absolutely did not bring on yourself.

    I hope eventually articles like this will set some legal precedence and religious-political power scams will be put in their place.

    PS...will you tell us your birthday so we can all celebrate?

    Great article. I think I heard your phone conversations on you tube, you handled yourself really well. Isn't it funny what gets you finally thinking, like the flood story or having a precious baby of your own. I can relate I hope your Owen has many more happy birthdays, good job mom and dad.

    Thanks, everyone.

    Yeah, I like the last sentence of the article, too (is that patting myself on the back? sorry) - it gives the reader something to do. Also, if a JW does read it, they'll think "Oh, crap, this article might come back to haunt me when I'm out in service."

    My birthday = June 11

    My son's = May 14 (he'll be 4 - the article got his age wrong)

    WOW!! That's a great article.

    And to think.........................if they had just let you be...............not disfellowshipped you

    they would not have had all that bad press.

    The WBTS is really between a rock and a hard place.

    If they don't disfellowship, ex JW's can negatively influence the faithful, if they do they are open to bad press.

    How sad!!!
