I LOVE my sons and I'm just so proud of them all!! I have 4 fantastic boys, all brought up as JW's and all out.

Since we all left (me and hubby included) our lives have never been richer or happier. To give you an idea what I'm on about, my youngest son is 9 years old and he's had a rough time over the last year. His stress levels were so extreme and his behavour so bizarre that child pshycologists diagnosed him as autistic. This diagnosis was recently overturned when they realised just how badly we were being shunned at school by the "loving" JW's we all knew. His behaviour was down to STRESS caused by this shunning.

Now he is SOOO much better he actually went in for a talent contest at his school and stood up in front of an audience of 80 or more and performed some card tricks. He was GREAT!! I was just so proud of my fantastic little lad.

Then to top it all my 3rd son has just won a music contest called Wight Noize. His band will open the Isle of Wight Rock Festival in June this year on the main stage!!! I'm so thrilled and excited for him!!!

Oh yes! Life outside the Org is so sweet

OH BoyZone I am overjoyed to hear your lil' guy is doing so great! I remember your first post about them shunning him at school and it tore my heart.

Continued strength and joy to you all!

Love,
Baba.

Card tricks are from Satan.

Dear boyzone,

In the event you didn't see my post of ten hours ago to you relative to Ray Franz, here it is. Hope you don't mind my highjack. His answer is tailored to you!

I hope and pray that Ray now looks back on the first 60 years of his life, not as a waste of time, but as a training ground for the work given to him after leaving JW's. Similiar to Moses with the Egyptians or Daniel with the Babylonians.

Thanks much, bz. Let's allow R.F. to address the above prescient comment!

See below:

I am grateful in a sense for what I have experienced within the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, and what I experienced within the Governing Body. I doubt that I would have fully appreciated the value and importance of Bible teachings in all these regards had it not been for seeing in such a personal way the effect of a legalistic approach to Christianity. I would never have realized how a surface morality can be produced that nonetheless allows for acts that are not only unmerciful but sometimes cruel, extremely so. Now, however, I can realize how it is that the apostle's words [Romans 2:17-24, the gist of which is, do you, who know the law and teach it, break it? God's name is blasphemed because of you.] just quoted can apply equally today. I can understand how it is that an organization can claim to be a "spiritual Israel," formed of "Jews" in a figurative sense, can proclaim worldwide that it and it alone stands in God's favor, knows His will and law, is His appointed guide to lead people out of darkness into the light of truth, an organization that draws great attention to its making known the name of Jehovah throughout the earth - how it is that such an organization can nonetheless be guilty of a form of lawlessness so serious that it brings grave dishonor on the very name it claims to honor.

btw: A dear "anointed" sister whom I met over 40 years ago is from the Isle of Wight!
