Welcome to the board. Life is great. Don't let a cult tell you "these are the worst of times".
I am a non JW married to a JW and a father of two JW's, one baptized, the other not. When I learn ttatt I became adamant against the idea of keeping my children under the control of crazy, arrogant and deceptive cult leaders. My desire to free my children is greater than my desire to please my wife's wishes. The lives of young people are precious and should be protected.
Trust your father and share the ttatt. He will be your best support.
