What a fantastic bit of news. I bet you were elated when he also revealed his doubts. Me and my husband left the org together and it's amazing having each others support. It wont be an easy ride but it's so worth it!

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me
by elderess inonly a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!
its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

Not only is it obvious idolatry of the JW . org but it's flipping ugly and pure tack! Surely JW's don't buy those things? They are vile!! -

Urgh disgusting. Someone posted this on facebook yesterday so I saw it then. How can members keep denying there isn't a paedophile problem?! More and more articles like this are being published and can't just be written off as persecution. -

13:48.. understanding the lesson of this illustration helps us to avoid being overly distraught or disappointed if a bible student or one of our children does not make the truth his own.

I'm a year older than you 1983 baby. Oh yes I also wasn't allowed to watch those programs. Especially He-Man, She-Ra, Ewoks, Thunder Cats, Transformers, Ninja Turtles etc.
So stupid, but my parents really thought they were doing what's best. It sucked though. I hated being the different one at school. Enjoying your story so far! Off to read the next bits.

Anthony Manning was our C.O when I lived in Somerset. He was always going on trips and holidays with younger lads from the circuit, was rather flamboyant and very, very camp...... I always had my suspicions....
Very nice chap and always made an effort to chat to me as an awkward 15/16 year old....even though I am female haha!

Yes def watch Harry Potter, they get better as they go on. I would also recommend the TV series True Blood. It's brilliant!
I'm currently watching Buffy the vampire slayer as I never was allowed to when I lived at home! It's rubbish but also good if that makes sense.
Speaking as a girl I agree with QMI I shamelessly loved twilight!! Also Vampire Diaries and The Originals (Im a teenager at heart!!)
If you like reading at all I recommend Tad Williams he does some epic fantasy book series full of magic etc. Also Robin Hobb is brilliant. Read Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings as the films miss parts out and change them about.
I love stuff like this and always did when I was still in......now I don't need to feel guilty!!

Still feel weird about things....
by FeelingFree inso i'm loving the fact that my little one gets to be a "normal" child and take part in everything at school.
however i still have that stupid niggling in the back of my head that she shouldn't be doing it and it's wrong etc.
at the moment she is rehearsing for the nativity play and keeps singing the songs at home (she is going to be an angel!

Thanks so much everyone for your lovely and helpful replies. It's made me a bit teary! It's so great to have you guys to vent to and that you really understand what it's like.
Sometimes I think I'm getting on really well and then like today will have a real down day. All the crap just comes flooding back, I also have so much resentment inside. Little things mainly will trigger it like stupid jw instagram post or something (I have been proactive and come off it for that reason!)
Think I just need to keep busy and concentrate on the positives, the fact my children won't be indoctrinated and will enjoy all the these celebrations...... That's definitely something that's "happyfying" hahaha! Such a stupid made up word just like everything else jw related xxx
