i was having lunch last week with my mom and she dropped the a-word on me.
my mom started off the lunch speaking about what a disappointment i was to her that my wife and i had put our little girl into a christian private school.
i posted on an earlier thread that my wife and i now have a 6 year old beautiful little girl that we're adopting.
Good for you!!
From experience, both my own and my children's: being a JW kid just sucks. I am watching life through the eyes of a five year old, now, as he celebrates birthdays, Christmas, etc. It is so exciting, and, surprising at first, a spiritual blessing. Not having your little one around this whacked out cult with thier anti social, anti sanity heart/mind set is the greatest gift you could give her.

i know this has probably been asked before but, how did you find jwd?.
i know that my life hasn't been the same since.
i love reading through peoples experiences and comparing them to my situation.

I NEVER read apostate literature. I followed the Society's instructions up to the point I was threatened with DF'ing. (We da'd and, then, I heard they df'd us....) Only AFTER my DA did I research the web.
I do not remember how I found this site.....I was processing a ton of stuff for a while.
Take care,

all i can say is wow!!!!.
looking south from whiteface mountain.
looking east.
How about a few, up close mug shots?

that a lot of the people on these sites are people in the organization.
well, they probably assume that.
but i wonder if they are aware of people that have been going to these sites for years but just staying in for various reasons.
I was miserable, emotionally, many years in the JWs. Worse, far worse, my family suffered horribly...I've told a few stories: they could fill a book.
HOWEVER, I NEVER, and, let me repeat that, NEVER came across anyone that could "out gun" me in a head to head debate. So, I was convinced the WT was doctrinally closer than anyone else. Now, give me a NWT and two hours and I can gut this beast and have steaks for supper.
That is the funny part: how easy, how so very easy it is to prove the WT the outlandish, stupid, lying creature it is.
Still not laughing,

edited to add: jay leno did not write this.... .
subject: read jay leno's letter.
''what we are so unhappy about?''.

AGuest,
I believe you are very sincere.

i would like to start by saying the years following high school were probably even more stressful than before.
the very day i graduating i moved out of my parents house, it took all of three weeks to get my next commitee meeting.
i did a horrible thing by going on a graduation trip with some of my classmates, even though all did was party like it any other kid my age, which thier parents paid for thier trp it was enough for me to be disassociated, though i was not baptized at the time it was the same as being disfellowshipped.
Okie,
Welcome to the board.
Couple of questions, if yo do not mind:
What happened to the ex wife?
Were there kids by that union?
What type of business are you in?
And, yes, you will find me the "nosey:" one on the board.....
