You are a shining example to others who leave the cult! Many ex and exiting jws feel unworthy to raise their own children. You took the bull by the horns and lived to tell about it. Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news for me, still a JW

Good luck to you for the future. I am marking storys like yours in the hope it will make the "bf" finally wake up. Not for me, know thats unlikely to happen but if I can make him see there is hope in the real world of a happy and peaceful life.

I got called by an elder inviting me to the memorial.
Amazing how after treating you like that they still invited you.

Sounds like things are going quite well for you!
I wish to interject some advice...this is based on the fact that I am sixty and have seen and gone through many things: Please note one thing: Never, under any circumstances, down your ex or the JWs, or anyone to your child, or argue in front of her. She will have a hard time as she at some point may feel "stuck in the middle" between you and her mother. She should not have to deal with any of the problems that you two have been through. For her emotional well-being, only say positive things, even though the words may stick in your throat. She will come to feel that she can talk to you about anything without your being judgemental, and....she will love her mother and it will be upsetting for ANYONE to say anything about her.With a continued good attitude on your part, she'll be able to see the WT for what it is and not feel defensive. You'll be able to encourage goals such as education by taking her to museums, etc. that broaden her horizons.
Wish you the best.

Quandry, I disagree: there is a diffrence between being "neutral" and "postive" about "talking about the JW's".
when you're dealing with Fire, you gotta fight it with Fire!
did you see what his wife tried to do in court? she's not done by a long shot!
Using "sexual deviance" in front of the judge? what normal person doesn't have sex? how do you think the little one came about?
your wife is gonna load the child up at every chance she gets.
why does divorce have to get personal? but in reality it does!
Good luck!
Yesterday while in the pool I mentioned to my wife what JW's do to "dissidents" and compared them to what scientologists do to "dissidents".....
she tried changing the suject, and accused me of stressing her out. 5 minutes later I stopped cold turkey!

Compare that to a Muslim divorced couple I know, who agreed to go to counselling together when they separated. They were convinced to set aside their differences in the interests of their daughter. They never allowed her to play one parent against the other, and worked together to watch over her through the teenage years. The girl is now at McGill University and doing very well.

Keep your chin up Mousy. It just keeps getting better. Wish my oldest was out of the cult; but am enjoying holidays with my new wife, youngest daughter, son-in-law & new grandson. Continue to live well & enjoy life. (I still kept my old bookbag. Let me know if you want me to ship it to you.....for appearances.)
