So sad about the shunning. I've never been a JW but I read about it over and over again on the net but I can't even begin to imagine how that must be. And all because you simply have chosen to believe differently. Such a crime . But I'm so happy to hear you got your family out!!! That's more than I can say...YET! Welcome!!!

Thank you all for the welcome and encouragement, it's very much appreciated.
There is one thing I need to clarify. I keep it back as I wanted to to protect my families identity, but now i'm out who cares.
Our eldest child still attends meetings. It has been hard for her to leave as all her friends are JW's. We are dealing with
the situation but it is difficult at times. She is not willing to discuss the issue with us, but we hope in time that she
will see for herself what the org is really about (fear & control). However, all our other children, whom are all teenagers are out
and will never go back, as they can see for themselves what the org is all about.
And Es, we live in NSW. We travel to Victoria from time to time, so we may see you down there one day.
