By the end of 2015 I'm hoping the final loose end will be tied up for my little family to move on to a bright new future.
I also informed my husband I will be sending in my letter of disassociation. It's something I need to do in order to move on completely. I don't want to be tied to such a damaging religion in any way.
i have faded away but the wife and kids still go.
when i stopped others in the hall stepped up to help indoctrination the kids.
anything i say and tell the kids they don't want to listen too because of course its contrary to what their told at the lovely hall where their friends go.
High School has a way of making teenagers think for themselves. Just give it some time and you will be the parent they go to and listen to.
For now, try to get them into some activities that have them around "worldly" kids. It only takes them being around non JW kids a little, for them to see for themselves they make some pretty nice friends. I wish we would have done more of that for our kids when they were young.

It's all pretty disgusting!
Point 18 : when dealing with a disruptive visitor..." Let him know his invitation has been revoked" Say what?? They can do that?
When we went to the elders about not wanting our daughters molester in our congregation, they told us he had every right to be there?? I guess they don't mind traumatizing a young child as long as he sits quite! That's some BS!!
someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.
it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.
there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

upon due consideration, the media request of applicant abc news to make a video recording of oral argument in the above-referenced appeal is granted.
I wonder if cases like this are open to the public? Anybody in CA may want to attend to take notes??
I hope ABC and NBC get some juicy clips to broadcast at the very least.
Yes, the courtroom is open to the public. I'm wondering myself if anyone in the area is attending?

"media request to record/broadcast oral argument; from abc news new york".
NBC wants in on it as well.

ran into an uber-dub known from my history in the org......she had to be very sure i wasn't d'fed or d'aed - merely "inactive" so she could give me a big hug and inform me that she knows i'm coming back to jehovah because he understands my "hurt" and....blah blah blah.
it struck me how dependent they are on labels.......and how very stupid it is....you can hug me because i don't have the df label?
would i be a different person if i had that label?
I find that no matter how good we are doing they just can't accept that anyone could actually be happy and moral if they leave the " truth."
The labels mean everything to them!
