  My Dad Died Today

  he has been ill for some time, but it was still unexpected.

  he was never a jw and i didn't really have a close relationship with him, since he remarried after my parents divorced.

  i reunited with him in the mid 90's after over 10 years of not seeing him.. .

  so this last week i went to visit a very dear friend of mine about 21 hours away.

  she is one of the two people i have had a major hand in helping to see the bullshit of the watchtower religion.

  in any case, as we were driving through a neighborhood, guess what we saw.

  Nicely done. Maybe just maybe you planted a seed? I could see them going home to research the subject for the next time it comes up out in service. Hopefully, they will study themselves right out!

  i thought about that question myself and i don't think i really hate anyone.

  i guess i could hate bin laden or some nameless evil terrorist but no one comes to mind..

  I hate my ex husband. I hate what he does to me and our children and his new wife and their child and his family. I think I pretty much hate everything about him.

  Anniversary of our being egged by JWS, decide to show you all the letter we sent to 200 JW families!!! Enjoy!!

  i hope this letter finds you and your loved ones both happy and well.

  one day, before the summer assembly, my parents informed me that they had serious doubts.

  i just wanted it to go away, and for things to be the way they used to be.

  Lady Liberty, thanks for your reply. I've been struggling with the best way to approach my brother & one close girlfriend. They still associate with me and I'm trying to walk the line between waking them up and scaring them off with my apsotasy. You've given me a lot to think about. Every day I am astounded by the power of this cult on it's followers.

  I just want to say how much I hate the f***ing cult

  i posted here a few times some months back about my jw bf, and i'm glad i did because i was on the fence about the whole thing.

  i had to stop because the nature of his profession might have brought him here, and the details i had given it wouldn't have taken much to figure out who i was talking about.

  i still lurk though, daily.. i hate this.

  Oh no. Did you get pregnant? I'm sorry that your relationship is suffering this way and that he is choosing the cult over you. It's heartwrenching.

  Thanks for the bttt! That was awesome. Very well done. I'd like to send something similar to my brother. Did you get anyone who was upset that you broke their faith? I feel my bro may respond that way. Like I offended him by ruining his life. lol.

  Has anyone tried to prevent ex-spouse from training the kids as JWs?

  i am at the point in my custody battle where i need to decide if i'm gonna "go for the gold" and bring religion into the fight.

  my lawyer thinks i have a chance based on the parental alienation aspect of the religion.

  i'm df'd and my kids are being raised to turn against me.

  GL Tirebiter--you said "If he doesn't want to go, you go anyway and talk with Parenting Coordinator. Make his absence show up in a paper trail." Absolutely. I'm creating the paper trail and letting him hang himself. The whole "my house my rules" is hard. I agree with you and I really don't want to encourage the kids to disobey their father but the only other choice is to let him control our lives and to run my household as well. It's very draining and frustrating and leaves me feeling on edge at all times.

  JWDaughter--Thank you for sharing your experience. That is what I need to hear but it still is the endless battle. How do I assert my beliefs without badmouthing the Dad or the religion? You know? In practical application it is just non stop drama & stress. My ex will never agree to let them not be JWs at school. He is a freaking zealot. This is why I'm back in court. It's such a fine line between low key and passive. I have to be ready and be "on" every day all the time for when this shit comes up.
