I really liked what you said about the thin veneer of love JWs have, it is so true. You handled yourself so well, very composed, and held your own.

Femine supplies advice help needed
by jws ini'm divorced and i have a daughter who is nearly 11. last year she watched a video in school covering upcoming body changes (which she already knew about).
but one suggestion they gave that i didn't think of was to go get femine supplies and be prepared for when the time comes.
i like being prepared ahead of time for emergencies.

It's very commendable that you want to be prepared. I would recommend unscented products, and have a box of panty liners, medium flow pads with wings, and over night pads with wings.
Maybe a book to leave in her room, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Care-Keeping-American-Girl-Library/dp/1562476661/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1349243502&sr=1-5&keywords=Girls+bodies
She can keep an emergency stash of supplies in a makeup bag in her backpack for school, with an extra pair of underwear.
My Mom did not teach me about this rite of passage, luckily I had a smart little sister.

Divorced Atheist ex-JW Dad
by braincleaned ini just wanted to chime in as a loving atheist father, divorced to a jw, and what plays as far as educating our children.. we have shared custody but the kids are mainly with their mom - 11 and 14 respectively.. the problem i face is keeping a balance for my children.
i have turned atheist during our marriage, so my ex didn't have the spiritual support she signed up for anymore.
i can understand it is not easy.

You sound like a great Dad. Perhaps by compromising and allowing your children to have a JW education now, your ex wife will be open to your children pursuing further education in the future. That is the only thing I regret about being raised a JW, the lack of further education.

http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-stupid-habits-you-develop-growing-up-in-broken-home/.
saw this article on cracked today and since so many in the ex-jw community have grown up in the equivalent of a broken home, i thought it was very applicable to post it here.. warning, it uses some vulgar language so proceed at your own discretion..

Interesting read! It's nice to learn why some people are the way they are. Both my parents were from dysfunctional families, and that explained a lot.

Do you believe in Love?
by freeflyingfaerie inmaybe you are an atheist.. maybe you are agnostic.. you have left a cult, left behind an entire belief system, complete with detailed instructions on how to live..rules to follow for every aspect of your very life.
you know it was a big lie.. you are now naked, staring at your soul.
just you, just your own thoughts, just your own voice, your own feelings.

"Love still believes when you don't" - Brandon Heath. That lyric helped me not give up on my marriage when things looked bleak, and our love is now stronger than it ever was. Above all things, I believe in love.

That was so disturbing it turned my stomach to read about those monsters. I have a 3 year old and 15 month old, and to imagine someone violating these children and taking their innocence breaks my heart. the only justice would be to banish them to an island and let them die there.
Also, good for those who are working to catch these criminals! That would be difficult to have to go through all the evidence.
