Hmmm... I've seen this lady's videos... I think I even subscribed to her...??
I didn't know that her husband was still a JW, though...

Thanks for sharing these with us.
It's wonderful to see how you've moved past the very painful, initial stages of making an exit.

What was your reception at the meeting? I assume that since you DA'd yourself 6months prior, no one would talk to you. Or did they?

One witness gave me a little wave hello and mouthed hi as he walked by and most of the young kids would wave and smile at me. Everyone else shunned me including my sister in law. We didn't leave right away afterwards but I stood where people would walk by me and I kept smiling and said bye to people. It was funny to see the ones who would start off smiling and about to say hello then remember oops she's da'd.

Loved your video! I can relate to everything that you said 100%! LOL at you telling the JW to "Scurry along." I hope that your husband and daughter are able to get out, too. It is truly wonderful to have your family on the same page.

Comfortably numb is about someone getting stoned! Was leaving the JW's like getting stoned for you?
