I was born and raised a JW. I was in the jws almost 50 years. My huband did a lot of research and found out how false the jw's are. I think his greatest accomplishment was getting us out of false religion. I was married 34 years and he died. I just turned 55 in October. I have two children and four grandchildren. One of my children is going to have a baby girl in three weeks. Soon I will have five granchildren. My daughter and mother in law lives with me. All of my immediate family except my parents are out of the jw's. I miss my husband very much. Especially around the holidays. I am thankful for the friends I have made out of the jw land and my family.
