Hello everyone, I have some really good news, and just can't hold it in any longer. My youngest is going off to a university in August, and he will be majoring in Business Management, and Marketing. When I see what my son is doing with his life, it makes the decision to leave the JWs, I made all those years ago, when his older brother was just starting school, all the more worth it. My sons were able to grow up to become the people they are today, and that is the freedom to be who they are. Looking back at my life in that cult, I really don't regret it either. I say this because with those experiences, my own children will know what to look for when it comes to avoiding traps like that.

Congratulations! You have good reason to be proud of your boys and yourself. I am grateful that after 5 years my Dad figured out that WT religion was not the truth. It saved me from going through so much confusion, fear and guilt.

Fantastic news. It makes it feel even sweeter when you know what the alternative could have been, had you not made the courageous decision to leave. I'm always thankful when I think of the joyful, free lives my own two got to live, compared to the dismal existence I had for 11 years. What many take for granted (those who were never trapped in a cult), we appreciate perhaps more. Enjoy!
