Our 2nd Christmas....

    Hello everyone-

    So , this is our 2nd christmas as a family out of the " troof " . Sometimes it feels great and sometimes I get so anxious. After being involved with jw's for 20+ years we are out and all of our daughters who were raised as jws are out too. We have a 4 year old who only went to meetings as an infant and missed the whole jw experience.

    I still have a sister calling on me out of concern ( my husband and I are not df'd or diss. yet , I am sure when the x-mas thing is actually an issue it won't be long.) But I used to feel I didn't want to play anymore of the jw games and was not going to send in a letter to diss. myself ( my oldest daughter did) now I am feeling a desire to just get rid of the whole thing and do it. I know I will never go back to that kingdom hall ever again. Anyway - I really need to just tell this sister the truth about how I feel. Her now deceased mom was a very good friend of mine. It feels a little like her mom is here when we chat.

    I just want to also say "Merry Christmas,Seasons Greetings,Peace on Earth" to one and all and send a little hope and courage to anyone still struggling with their own jw travels.....I guess life in any form is just one big adventure ( good and bad )

    Love - Sunny

    Merry Christmas to you too, and welcome to the board! It is my 2nd Christmas since leaving JW's also.

    Don't disassociate yourself. You're playing by their rules if you do.
