  hello, i'm new to the madison wi area and would like to meet some ex-jdubs in the area, i'm 24 yrs old.

  people relativly my age would be nice but any age is cool.

  i just moved from milwaukee and all my friend there are ex-jw's, we are all pretty close about 10 of us or so and am looking for the same kind of bonds where i am now, there is nothing like having people in your life who know exactly what you went through in life.

  More recently,...probably since my son was born I am feeling very depressed and just high strung. I want to go back to the meetings and become a full time witness again

  Welcome to the board! It sounds like you are experiencing post-partum depression.... Becoming a JW will not help you, talking to your doctor about it will...

  As someone else said, the JW way of life is a horrible way for children to be raised. 5 meetings a week, hours and hours sitting in the Kingdom Hall, not allowed to move or do anything beside listening to boring talks.... yes they are very boring to kids, and many adults too... not allowed to participate in all fun school activities, not allowed to have friends who are not JWs... no Christmas, no Thanksgiving, no Halloween, no Mother's day... etc... then later strongly discouraged to go to College, but encouraged to become a full-time magazine peddler for the Watch Tower Society... and what about the blood issue? Would you obey the Watch Tower directives of rather let your child die than saving him by giving him a blood transfusion?

  Read Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz, talk to your doctor about Postpartum depression, take it easy, a baby is a lot of work and mothers often forget to take care of themselves first....

  Take care, and my best wishes.

  This sounds serious. How long have you been married? Any children involved?

  You shouldn't care about what people will say or think... They're not the ones suffering in a bad relationship, you are. You have to do what is right for you. If he refuses counseling and doesn't change, just move out, and yes, work on a divorce.

  "Dear K, I want you to know I still love you very much because you are my precious daughter. I just don't like the choice you've made for your life. Hope you like this poncho. Love,
  Mom"

  Mom,

  I was so happy to have you and Dad over the other day. The poncho you knitted for me is really gorgeous, thank you so much. I want you to know that I love you and dad very much, always have, always will. You both are wonderful parents. I don't believe you should be worried about my choices. I am happy, in fact life is getting better every day.... but that's what Moms do, they worry about their children all the time...

  Love, and thank you so much for the present

  your loving daughter
