i'm in my pajamas.
typical guilt trip and mention that ultimately it is my choice, more guilt tripping (last time i checked i was 26 closing in on 27 ironic isn't it how they still don't want to allow decision making).

ughhhhh, i left "the truth" when i was 16 i had my daughter when i was 18. while is was finishing college my mother watched my daughter for me , so they are very very close.
well whenever my daughter goes to visit usualy about a week at a time my mother takes her to the hall .
she fills her head with the doctrine and tells her that ill say bad things about it and scares her into not telling me about it .
Welcome to the forum. You are in a tough situation. I don't have kids but I would seriously do whatever it takes to make sure your mom DOES NOT brainwash your daughter any more. You could maybe only allow her to visit with your daughter when you are there. Take care, good luck!

I favor Pro-Choice, but I think it should entirely be the woman's decision.

many of the people on this site say that they are apostates.
but that is not the way i feel about myself.. i am not angry with the "witnesses" or the organisation, i don't feel that i wasted my life.
i just think that i was stupid to believe it for 30 years (well sort of believe it, i did have severe doubts on and off).
:Even though I know their little minds are boiling over with "naaaanaaaa-nana-na paaaaagan tri-ni-taaaarian."

Hey Riot.. I just got up from sleeping in, am having a coffee, checking my emails.. ahhh. I can't even imagine throwing on a suit and trying to preach to people about the end of the world. Suckers, indeed.

.
what do most ex jws become, christian, athiest/agnostic or some other religion?
and since we all need to be labelled, what do i call myself now?
:I like the term agnostic. Since i used to know everything, and everyone else knew nothing, i like to now admit i have no idea.
I really like that, hehe. Agnostic is a good place to be, IMO. Welcome to the board by the way.

i was just wondering if anyone out there had similar struggles after being disfellowshipped?
.
all my life i was a good christian person, then after getting df'd i entertained the idea to do all manner of formerly forbidden activities, since everyone thought i was going to the devil anyway.
Remember, the law's of physics still apply to you. I wish I could disassociate from gravity..

here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.
