It is good to hear an update. I am a mother and can not imagine doing those things to my son. He was never baptized and he did some stupid things as a teen but we stood by him so we would not lose him. I would never give him up because of the religion. I honestly feel your brother is very jealous of you. He may have all of these positions within the organization but you have a successful business, great wife and children. It amazes me how many JW's are jealous of the ones who are financially successful. They talk about them and tear them down behind their back.
i just celebrated my birthday and I was out of town and when I got home my hubby had my card on the table with some money in it and he hid a few gifts for me. It sure has been fun doing "normal" things!! I also had a nice amount of birthday cards sitting on my dresser to look at. It is exciting to do fun things and live life to the fullest!!
Keep us up to date and I wish you lots of happiness.
