Planted a seed today... Update on de-program of my 16 year old son

by Aussie Oz in

well, some of you know that i have a 16 year old son who lives with his jw mother.

she has already mastered the art of guilt control on him.

i am most anxious that he not get baptized at all or at least unless he has really understood the whole truth, not just the watchtower truth.

I just started reading this thread straight through, from the beginning (curious about any advice , as I am a mother)

I have to say that the way you are communicating w your kids is wonderful, they may express some of how they feel about you, but I would bet inside they are being deeply affected by the way you are respecting them as individuals and they probably feel so free and happy when they think of you, sensing that you love them unconditionally and for who they truly are....that is priceless, and you will see...they will always love you for it...

you are helping them to expand their minds, that wont be in vain

your're an inspiration!

I need some advice...regarding my jw dads funeral

by happyexjw in

i could really do with some sound advice regarding my dad who is a long serving jw and his funeral arrangments.. my dad is in his last stages of cancer and has been talking with the elders about his funeral and with his family.

because a lot of his family are not jw's and that myself and my sister are both disfellowshipped.

he has chosen to have his funeral at the crematorium and hold a memorial at the kingdom hall a few days after.

just want to give big hugs to you!!

with my love,

Has anyone had a WT literature burning party?

by lepermessiah in

i keep staring at the bookshelf full of wt literature in my house and keep having visions of a red-orange glow as the flames crawl higher and higher.

my goal is to gather it all together, douse it with lighter fluid, and watch it go!.

ultimately, i dream of my wife being the one who strikes the match and joins me in the celebration.. has anyone had that experience?

freeflyingfaerie

one evening I gathered all the propaganda, piled it on the floor and stared at it, had a good cry, and bagged it all up to toss out

I saved a king james bible and a 4-translations bible...anything printed by the wtbts was in my past ...

very emotional experience and very liberating yes!

i felt much lighter...

Were You A Happy JW or An Unhappy One?

by mentallyfree31 in

when you were a witness, were you happy or miserable?.

i feel like i was pretty happy for over 20 of the 25 years.

only the last 5 years and especially the last 1-2 years did i really burn out and just wasn't that into it.

freeflyingfaerie

I was mostly happy-go-lucky when I was believing.. ignoring 'negative' talk and glossing over 'faults' (hypocrisy and abuse). ( ignoring so as to not blow my entire belief system from birth), always wanting to walk right into Paradise ...soft lush carpet of grass...everyone hugging and being kind to one another...frolicking in the meadows...swimming with the dolphins..no starving babies..all sunshine and love and peace..it was going to happen, we just didn't know the exact moment..

I really thought I had the best of friends, special, faithful people...wow, how blessed I was to be raised in The Truth, God's very own religion here on earth.

When i divorced at around 30, (not adultery), I still clung to my support, took comfort from family and friends that knew me from birth. but once the dust began to settle there i was ...looking around at the meetings no longer as my refuge, no more the ultimate brotherhood. I was dying as a JW. It wasn't in my heart to live for tommorrow any longer. There was no joy in it. I still love so many of them, but didn't relate anymore. It didn't fit anymore. It was still a sort of happiness...because it was a new self-discovery. There was a secret inside that grew to become too big to ignore. The secret was that I was falling out of love with The Truth. And when I thought of all the possibilities outside those walls, it drew a smile on my face.

One foot in front of the other ... out of the KH never to return.

Tangent...so i admit, this was my very own personal therapy session ..thanks for listening
