My JW mom and sister are attending a birthday party I'm hosting

my mom knows my position on not being a jw anymore, and we have a pretty good relationship after some rocky patches.

my younger sister is the only one that is still a jw, my older siblings had all left many many years ago, and my younger brother and his family has left now as well.

we have had a few non birithday, birthday parties in the past, no candles on the cake, no singing happy birthday, but just all getting together as a family and having a good time.

Wow BB....you are going to smoke a pork butt?

I could understand the chocolate and raspberry cigars, and you know I love me some happy smoke....but you Canadians really know how to party.

Oh FHN! I am so sorry you are all going through this. Are you far away from where he is? I do hope that he is able to keep his hand, this is just terrible, you poor dear.

My Story

by ~Jen~ in

jw
friends

i was raised a jw by very strict parents who, in my early teen years were physically and then later emotionally abusive all the while with my dad being and elder (and he still is).

i didn't want to be a jw then but my life was all about making my parents happy which started with me being baptized at 13. my parents constantly drilled into my head that most things were "bad" and i was "bad" i constantly did whatever i could to avoid being bad.

i had no life but then met a nice jw boy when i was 17. against my better judgement, i stayed with him and married him when i was 20. i didn't have a lot in common with him but he was really nice and was safe - he was a witness and even though i wanted to be in the world so bad i chose to be with him because he would keep me grounded, in the truth and away from where i really wanted to be because it was the right thing to do.. we were married for 7 years and have 3 sons.. for the past few years i've known that i did not want to be a jw even more and was sick of being fake.
