i came home today to find my wife crying whilst reading the 'when a loved one leaves jehovah' article.
its been a good few months now and i can appreciate how she feels.
but it just irritates me how my disagreeing with this religion has such a catastrophic effect on our everyday lives.
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL, BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT YOU WERE ONCE THERE YOURSELF. THE PEOPLE IN THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT THE SCUM, THE ORGANIZATION IS. THE WAY IT MAKES YOU QUIT THINKING FOR YOURSELF, AND THE WAY THEY TREAT THOSE WHO HAVE USED THEIR FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND DECIDED TO LEAVE.
INSTEAD OF HAVING SO MUCH HATE YOU NEED TO FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON HOW YOU CAN BE A BETTER PERSON AND HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE STILL IN.

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. I HAVE MY PARENTS, TWO CHILDREN AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN THAT ARE STILL IN THE "TRUTH". TELL ME HOW TO BE A GOOD GRANDMOTHER TO CHILDREN THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST. OR A GOOD PARENT TO SOMEONE THAT WON'T ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK TO HER. BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE IN BAD HEALTH, BUT THEY WON'T ALLOW ME TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP MAKE THEIR LAST YEARS MORE COMFORTABLE. THEIR GRANDCHILDREN WON'T HELP THEM. I EVEN CONSIDERED LIVING A LIE AND NOT LEAVING THE JW SO THAT I COULD BE THERE FOR MY PARENTS. BUT I STILL HAVE A CHILD AT HOME AND I COULD NOT DO THAT TO HER. SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO HAVE A NORMAL CHILDHOOD AND TO ENJOY HER LIFE.
i am starting a new ex-jw meetup group in somersworth nh and i have never done anything like this before.
does anyone have any suggestions on how to have a fun informative event?
i am a little nervious.
