  I hope you enjoy your day and get thoroughly spoilt!

  Just wondered whether your birthday cake was actually Carrot cake made by your husband (lol).

  Love your photo, you certainly look happy.

  i went to a catholic funeral yesterday.

  there was no wake, only a mass and the burial and military honors at the cemetery.

  although it was not a relative, my j.w.

  I was always told that they shouldn't enter any other religious building, whether this is just said in the UK I don't know.

  When my husband and I got married (we were in our forties and he was brought up a JW) his mother said she wouldn't come to the wedding if we got married in church.

  Maybe it depends on what the particular Elders say in some congregations.

  i've been reading this thread for some time and finally had the opportunity to create an account.

  i am anxious to meet you all and have a support group/active audience over the next crucial months and years following.

  background: long-time doubter, giving way to frustration and skepticism beginning about 10 years ago and finally to total admission that this is a cult and that atheism is the way to go.

  Welcome, look forward to your further posts with interest.

  When attending meetings and they called people Apostates I used to wonder "how do they know" the dictionary says it is someone who has lost their faith and I could not understand how they could possibly know whether someone has lost their faith or not unless, of course, that person has actually told them this.

  Just a thought.

  Thanks Black Sheep - as you will note it was a very long time ago.

  However, my husband left his home aged 25 and moved over 100 miles away. His parents in the meantime after many years were reinstated but go to a different congregation to the one they were disfellowshipped from. His mother visited my husband and went to his local meeting and against his wishes put the wheels in motion for him to be reinstated.

  Since reading posts on this site it seems normal for meetings to be held regarding reinstatement etc. however this didn't occur with my husband. Apparently an Elder telephoned the congregation where the disfellowshipping had taken place and was told that they hadn't really done anything wrong so he was reinstated without any of the usual meetings.

  I think it is an unusual case.

  However, we have now not attended a KH in two years and so far MIL has not interfered! Long may this last.

  slimboyfat - my husband was disfellowshipped in the seventies for associating with his parents.

  His parents had been disfellowshipped but they continued to take my husband and his older brother to the meeting every week whilst they sat outside in their car.

  A handwritten note was pushed through their door disfellowshipping the two boys for associating with their parents! The boys were approximately 14 and 15 or 15 and 16 at the time and obviously living at home. Apparently they had the choice of going to live with one of the brothers if they didn't want to be disfellowshipped.

  Cantleave, you were absolutely brilliant - well done.

  I just listened to the interview on iplayer. Nathan was too (not sure if he is a poster on this site though).

  My husband listened to it too and says he feels fired and angry now though he hasn't been to the KH in two years, he says it just brings it all back and obviously we feel deeply for all those still trapped.

  Well done!

  Wow, well done you.

  Amazing though, no matter how much you tell them the truth, the stuff they had been saying for years they now don't want to hear it and shut it out as though it was never ever preached.

  Welcome to the rest of your life, enjoy your party with your little one.

  My husband and I were only talking about this the other day. We think that we would be "love bombed" and asked the usual 20 questions etc. etc.

  However, we said we would love to go back and arrive just as it starts so no-one would have a chance to ask us anything then leave after the first meeting! They would be so annoyed at us leaving before any of them could ask the usual nosey questions!

  i can't believe the amount of new posters this board is getting.

  it seems as if every day there are at least 2 to 3.. if you are a new poster, what made you decide to stop lurking and start posting?

  how many of us are there that have joined in the last year?.

  I found the site and joined almost straight away last year.

  I have found it a wonderful place when my mind was all over the place. I married into a JW family and was too embarrassed to talk to my own family and friends about it as I am sure they would have thought that I was making it all up. No-one outside would never believe what really goes on unless they see it for themselves and would have thought I was potty for putting up with it.

  Fortunately, my husband was a born in and never believed in it and we have at last escaped. We are just bating our breath for his mother to start sending the local elders round to enrol us in our new local KH. Hopefully, though, this won't happen!

  Thank you to everyone on this site, it certainly has helped me (and my husband) a lot.
