All I can say is that you are a very kind person, and any mother would be proud to call you their son. She sure is missing out. You will be a great dad.

by Hangin_on inwhen i call my mother she says she can't talk to me because i am dfed.. i asked her to help me and my pregnant wife move and she said "i don't think i can do that"... whos not allowing her to do it?.
she always calls me if her car or her computer breaks.. she called me today because her computer broke.
so.... i turned the tables on her.

Who else is tired of the Just Get Over It threads?
by sass_my_frass ini have started this thread so that every time i see a new one i can point out how old that idea is.
congratulations.
it's great that you have obviously been able to get out without being harmed in some way - really, i'm happy for you.

I do not believe that most people that have been in the JW religion will walk out of it unscathed, unless you were never really in it to begin with, or were in the religion with no family members. When you lose your family, friends, and even your identity the result will be somekind of trauma.
For those that can say, "Just get over it" have not experienced the true nature of the harm of a cult. I am glad for them if they really have no residual affects of this religion, but I guess my question to them is then "Why are you here???" You need to move on with your life, since the JW religion is no longer affecting you. JMO

I really am sorry that you and your young wife have been treated so unkindly.
I guess the question is now...if you return are you willing to treat your child as your MIL is treating her child???? That is what you are required to do if you want to be an accepted JW. Think about it......what kind of father do you want to be. That is your answer for if you really want to be a JW.
Just know that we are here for you both.

Just wanted to add that you have accomplished alot in this life...you have a great and loving relationship with your kids. The most important thing that we can achieve today, is to produce healthy functioning adults. Looks like you have suceeded with your children.
Now that you have accomplished that, it is time for you to think of Terry. What makes you happy? What do you want to do with the remainder of your life? Who are you? I am glad that you are willing to do and speak to someone about these very issues. Be open minded, and you will be surprised what you will learn about yourself, and your needs.
We are here for you.

Join me in pouring some love on Mouthy here on JWD!!!
by truthsearcher ini talked to grace this morning and she sounded like things have been rough for her lately, so join me in expressing your love and appreciation for our jwd granny!

We all love you Grace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think as we get older memories do two things...they sustain our love for those that we were blessed in knowing, and they are also painful reminders of love that we experienced. I guess with either emotion at least we know that we are alive.
Thinking of you.

UPDATE ON DANSK
by Physio init's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.
as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).
last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.
