  what a rollercoaster the last couple of days has been.

  having been prompted gently and lovingly by husband 'besty' i have examined my faith, sorry the organisation, and finally realised that he has been right all along in his reservations.

  i feel all sorts of emotions, mainly happiness at finally feeling free - no more meetings (i never could see why we had to attend 3 a week and always felt stressed about taking the babies along when they should be in bed!

  Hello SweetPea I am new to this board myself and your's is the first post I have read. I left in 1994 or so and haven't ever looked back. My 2 kids left with me, they were 15 and 2 at the time and even though their father was an elder (he still is lololololol) I was being held responsible for their spiritual wellbeing. as far as losing friends that still are JW's the question you need to ask yourself is do I still want them as friends? they have some very odd ideas Anyway as a way of a short intro my name is Helenrose, I was known to people as Cookie when I was a witness. (Decided to use my real name after turning 40.. Cookie sounded like an old stripper) I was a "model" mother used to pioneer my husband was an elder by all accounts the perfect family till I get fed up with the bs. and decided enough is enough I'm done, this was after 17 yrs or so. Nice to be here Glad I was browsing the web. Oh I have never searched for ex-JW's before now. Kynd Regards Helenrose
