I understand how you feel! How old are your children now? My children were raised in the JW religion also. The oldest was 3 and we (Kids and I) left when she was 18.
So a lot of our memories are JW related like you stated! I still have happy memories of those times.The first time they went out in service and placed magazines! First talk! And many of the JW's were as sweet as they could be. I can remember more happy times than I can sad times.
The congregation I was in when I left was starting to have some serious ego problems with the brothers that were being given positions at too early an age.There weren't that many men there so I guess they were desperate.Pushed boys where men should have been.
I also couldn't believe it was the only true religion. I have a hard time even believing the Bible now!
Plus hubby is a inactive JW and his Mom is a very active JW...so a lot of what I hear now makes me so glad I left!
But I still remember the good times! I don't think we will ever forget them. They are family memories!
