  my parents where not raised as a jw but converted to the truth true field service.

  i was raised as a jw by them.. i have told them all the things that i've learned through this board and several books about the wts.

  they are open enough to discuss these things with me.

  My parents have been witnesses since childhood, they're now in their seventies. They both left the org for about ten years but my mother started attending again after some family illness, she needed something to help her cope. She started going back to meetings on her own and my dad sat at home alone for a year and then joined her.

  I've told them about some of the things I've discovered about the society, they explained it away as apostate lies. However my dad let it slip that he had gone online to see what I was talking about. They also say that it's the best of a bad bunch.

  I really feel that they love their circle in the cong, they'd be pretty lost without it, they don't shun me (not for a long time). So it's a case of each to his own.

  Best wishes

  i'm doing my third uni unit in a 24-unit bachelors degree (economics).

  the exam is tonight, and i'm confident i'm going to fail.

  this isn't nerves or false modesty, i just know i haven't covered the material, and haven't consolidated those parts i did cover.

  sorry you're feeling down, sometimes things happen for a reason. Recharge your batteries, have some quality time with hubby then regroup.

  Take care........

  did you move from there dee?

  My family moved over to Australia, I was 21, so I've lived in Oz longer now than I did in Scotland. I love Australia, it's a great country to live in, but the call is still there

  AT 1:26PM FRIDAY OUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN!!!

  well its all happend, got to the hosp early friday morning, had my waters broken at around 7:30am had to wait for an hour and a half to see if labour would begin naturally, it didnt so at 9am i was hooked up to the drip, man that was intense, put it to you this way, blakes labour was about 8 hours all up kaia's labour was 3 hours and i would rather go through the 8 hour one anyday.. it was a very short labour, kaia was born a bit shocked as it happend so fast so she was rushed up to nursery for a bit as she was purple and not breathing properly but after an hour on oxygen she was fine, me on the other hand had to be stitched up coz pushing a 9 pound 1 baby out naturally with no drugs does damage heheh, then i had to be hooked up to a drip for 4 hours as i lost a bit of blood.

  but once we were all sorted it was all good.

  she is doing so well we are at home now, she is beautiful and very content.

  You're doc was right, you are a strong woman to get through this, but strong women still need help to keep it together.

  That Doctor sounds like a keeper, she let you talk, she echoed what you were saying without jumping in too quickly.

  My story (very long)

  we all went to the same kingdom hall.

  another thing that bothered me was the lack of love.

  i was bothered that the arguments and logic of the society commonly made little sense.

  I'm excited and nervous for you too. Hugs and love for a safe easy delivery.

  We want lots of pics as soon as you feel up to it. My brother's partner had their first bub, a wee girl ten weeks ago. It's lovely having a baby in the family again. And usually the mum enjoys the second one more cause it's not such foreign territory, and she's more confident. Just go with the flow Es........

  Love, Dee
