My family and I have always been close. I guess that all depends on what you determine as close. I see other families now and I am starting to think that maybe my family wasn't and isn't so close after all. It seems that we're only close on their terms, that being, me being a JW. When I'm not a JW, our relationship is strained. It's very sad really. Even my relationship with my Dad suffers because he is caught in the middle. I am going to try really hard this time to stay neutral. Not give my opinions, so to speak. We'll have to see how it goes. We haven't had a family gathering since I left the ORG. We used to have them all the time. As you can see, my family is starting to stray. I will do my best to keep it together. Right now I just need some space or have just needed some space. I am starting to get my act together now. Emotions etc. Whenever something is going wrong in your life, JW's always attribute it to leaving the ORG, so I find it best not to tell them or include them in your problems. Hugs Redhotchilipepper

Is your family close??...
by Hecklerboy ini was talking to a good friend of mine the other night on the phone and i was telling him about my wife wondering why my family isn't very close.
when we started thinking about it we both decided it was because we grew up jw's.
i would love to be closer to my family, but it just seems we have nothing to talk about.

How rebellious did you get after leaving?
by JH inafter leaving a controlling sect, it?s normal to want to live ?freedom?.
what did you do to show that you were no longer under the influence of the watchtower?
did you grow a beard, start having sex with whoever, start drinking, start gambling?

Sorry guys, if you took this post as bashing fat people. I didn't mean it in that way. I am a bit pudgy myself. It was all in good fun. I need to lose 15-20 pounds and seriously wished I could do it from talking. Sorry Candy if ya took it as an insult. Trust me I'm no skinny minny. It was just a little humor. Chill girl. A little pudge on the body is a good thing. It's more to love baby, more to love and hug.LOL
