Please put your baby's psychological well being first, before your Mother's feelings.
He isn't old enough to make a choice, he's counting on you to do that for him.
okay, i need to vent.
as a newly awoken individual, i have yet to "come out" to my hard core jdub parents.
my plan was to lay low and use my unbelieving husband and baby as an excuse for my "inactivity", it has worked for the last few months.

a tragic story of how the watchtower unduly influenced or brain washed a 14 year old jehovah's witness into martyrdom.
the real irony here is the synthetic blood that failed was a hemoglobin solution, and red blood cells are nothing but tiny doughnut shaped bags of hemoglobin.
any thinking person will conclude that if red cells are blood, then so is hemoglobin.
What a tragic waste of young life, he was rescued from his parents, only to die for WT.
so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.
