  Stay around and get some help here. You say you have been drinking heavily. STOP it. If you truly love your wife and want to make better of the next 10, 20, 30 years....don't make her and your children's lives more difficult by being a lush. I enjoy a drink myself now and then, but I know the true sorrow of alcohol abuse first hand. Don't hurt them that way.

  AND...if you truly love your wife, allow her to pray with your children, and it won't hurt you to join in a bedtime prayer. What a special time to spend. YOu don't have to tell them you don't believe in God...maybe you will again someday, but even if you don't, respect your wife for wanting to teach them. Just teach them to be good, by your example.

  You are so wise to know that it is time to get away from the JW screwed up teachings. I wish you well...and hope you don't mind if I say a prayer for your journey out!

  Peace to you and yours,

  Auntie Jane

  I'm new here and have lots of questions

  hello, i am new to this board, i am not a jehovahs witness however i studied with them for years, i went out into service a couple of times, but i havent done anything in 4 years.

  i am so confused.

  i always have been scared of the last days thing, but i could never accept the fact that while i was in the meetings, my husband and parents were all at home and the witnesses would tell me that unless they changed and started coming to the meetings that they would be killed!

  Oops I meant to add this important note: Please do not put yourself through anymore cult-like teachings,

  which is what it sounds like you are experiencing again, w. the Armageddon scare tactics. I believe there

  are many of the Native American heritage who do not believe in such (excuse me) nonsense...seek those

  out, or if you are unable to...protect yourself by learning to step away from it. You may need some therapy,

  which is a good thing! Life is too short to put ourselves through this kind of destructive emotional trauma.

  I am totally serious, take care of yourself.

  Welcome! And, please don't think of yourself as a mess...or, maybe this way: a little messy, but

  nothing that can't be straightened up! You will learn much here, please feel free to send a message to

  me if you'd like to talk. I never was a JW but have family involved, I have learned so much here. I am

  glad to know about your Native American roots and your psychic awareness; that is awesome. I truly

  believe that God does gift some with that extra special quality.

  Take care of yourself and stay around.

  Oh thank you all for the nice words, I wish you could all join me. Let me tell you this. At 50+ yoa, and being a cancer survivor, I have decided that life is way too short. Believe me, we are enjoying spending our kids' inheritance! Ha! This is a lifelong dream of mine and I hope it is ONLY my first trip! The best part is that our 3 adult kids and their spouses and SO are going along, no grandchildren in the family yet so it makes it easy. There will be 7 of us, and I am the 'unofficial' UNPAID travel agent!

  Thanks for the suggestions; I wish you could all fit in my handbag like wee little leprechauns and go along for the ride; I will tip up a glass of Irish whiskey for each of you!

  AuntieJane, of the always looking for an excuse to imbibe class.

  Hibie, I don't post much, but do enjoy yours, the few I've seen. I must say I am a bit bewildered, if you are always

  being truthful about who you are. Nevertheless, that is not the point. If you are an 18 yoa young woman, I can

  relate to much of what you are going through. I've raised 2 girls and I know that emotions can run rampant and be

  difficult to get through. Both dealt with some depression and both, thankfully, sought help in the form of therapy, and

  both benefitted. One continues to go, the other stopped several yrs ago, and both are blossoming. But it takes a lot to

  grow up. IMO, if one steps back and looks toward others who need help and attention, we forget about our own problems...spend

  a little time as a big sister (wonderful program)...as a nursing home volunteer (unconditional love) or any other service you can

  think of.

  Take care of your fine self, regardless.

  Thank You So Much!

  i want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers during my difficult time.

  my grandmother passed away on december 26. her death was especially heartbreaking for me because she was not a jw and i always felt that she was the only one who loved me unconditionally (unlike my jw relatives).. this is truly a very wonderful and caring community, so unlike the dubs.

  love and hugs to you all.
