Wait a day or two, tweak it a little and send it! Just be prepared for no communaction from the parents and multiple visits from the elders! Hang in there and visit the boards often......I'm new also and I gotta tell you this crowd is fantastic with their help, humor and support! Kinda like what the "truth" shoulda been!

I have no intention of sending the letter I just had to get it off my chest and I thought I'd do that in a place where people understand what it's like to be in this situation. If I sent the letter I would be ending all communication with my family but it get's harder and harder to keep my mouth shut and just continue to take the preaching even if he's doing it out of love. I started my fade approx 8-10 years ago and I am glad there are websites like these to help work through feeling and situations. I have been a lurker for quite awhile and that alone has been a great help. Thank You.

Hey Puppet, welcome. Not sure how your overall relationship with your parents is, but I would soften that one up if you don't want to cut them off. It's logical and to the point, but remember, JWs do not use logic!

Welcome to the forum puppet, an excellent start if I may say so.
By the time you have got some replies here about your letter you will have had a few days to think about it, and you will know if you want to send it, sit on it or reword it.
Maybe you might want to put in something about what you will do if he begins to be rude to you or your husband in the future, so that he is very clear about what is unacceptable behaviour, and what the consequences will be. I sent my mother something along those lines - 'I love you and I want you to be happy, but if you begin to criticise I will immediately end the conversation'. I then listed one or two recent examples of criticisms I was not willing to listen to.
whatever you send, im sure it will help you mark your ground.

Opps, sorry puppet, just read you dont want to send. Well, it helps to get it out of your system, just writing it, then filing it away.

Puppet welcome to the forum, it was great that you vented your feelings and worked out some anger caused by the WTS hypocrisy.
I understand you and your husband are fading and your in laws don't like that. Many people on the board had similar experiences, they are indeed a self righteous and biased lot, the dubs.
Keep on posting and airing your feelings it's a healing process. -

Hi puppet,
Welcome to the jwd board. ...a great place to vent thoughts on parental relationships torn apart by the org....as well as a great place in general.
