I will be staying home! Not by choice! LOL. I have 2 kids ages 1 and almost 3!
Oh well there will be a time when I can leave the house more. Until then "Happy New Years" from my couch!

I think the best thing for you to do is be Honest!
Be honest with yourself, your heart, and your mother. I know its easier said than done but I of 24 years of age have to do the same thing. It may be easier for me because I do not live with my mother.
Maybe pray about it? However be honest with yourself! I truly hope the best for you and your family!

THE AWESOME POWER OF GOD
by Brownboy inthe awesome power of god
if you are willing to put faith in jah, the only true god, then i am willing to share my experiences with you.
jehovah is able to humble any man, no matter how strong or powerful he thinks he is..........in a microsecond.

Brown Boy...aka Brownnoser!
Why are you on here? I think maybe you have a few issues for you to come on here all the time. What would the elders think? Isn't the internet bad?

My Testimony
by snakeizz inokay you guys here is my story.....it might be a lil' long winded, but please bear with me....it's interesting.... well i have been away for 8 years...i stopped when i was 17 and i'm 25 now.

Please Help!
by whyamihere ini dont know how to exactly word this but i am having a problem and am needed of advice!.
my mother and i were talking and i was never intelligent or had deep information on the jw religion ever in my life.

My mother and I were talking and I was never intelligent or had deep information on the JW religion ever in my life. I was mainly a follower and thought it was the truth and never had the need to question anything as maybe some of you felt the same as I do and did. I basically just went along with everything!
Anyway my mom and I were talking and she who believes a certain Elder in the congergation is a horrible man and thinks of him as a person who ruins the lives of people. She knows this from experience. However what I don't understand is how she can just live like that. Knowing bad things happen in the congergation and yet doesn't question. I don't know what to say to her. She says that she is fearful for me and my kids and says that we are given the chance of ever lasting life and worries for me and my kids because we don't go to meetings anymore. I understand why she feels that way. I told her that I know right from wrong and I will teach my kids that. I left it at that. I didn't want to get into it. However I don't know what to say to her that justifies my thoughts and feelings. I hear "New Light" alot. Like if there is a problem and I say that the "Society" changes all the time she gives me the "New Light" comment. Or if I say well this Edler does this. She says to me well "Jehovah's Holy Spirit" will weed out the bad in the congergation and we have to be patient! I think she just thinks that it is only our congergation that has problems.
I am sick of hearing excuses that have no real answer! I don't know what to say to her that will make her think. I feel like going back to meetings to just make her happy and get her off my back. That would be lying to myself. I don't know what to say or think. Its getting so hard and so frustrating. Please anyone who can find the words for me or the info I need to make her think differently. Maybe I just need to make sure I am doing the right thing. I feel like leaving it alone and making up lies or excuses just so that maybe she will get off my back about it. I don't believe its the "truth" or the "GB" is divine because it is was then there would be no hiding or cover ups or changing. I guess I wished I was in a different position. I hate this. Growing up in a lie and finding out about it later and then starting all over again is hard. I don't want to loose my Mom or my family!
Please if any advice you may have I would love to hear it!

My husband and I and our kids are going to my Dads(new wife also) house for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning. Then driving all the way back home the next day to be with my in-laws and have Christmas Dinner with them. We all left the JW cult and this will be my first Christmas ever. I am excited but feel odd about it. I will make the best out of it and I think it will be fun seeing my kids enjoy the Holiday and gifts.

p.s. I want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! !!!!!!!!!!!!
