I never saw this post before. I love jewelry, all things girly and always dressed up, one day my niece was about 4 years old at the time and she called me Aunt Fancy! Since this post was first started we have had so many new ones, I would love to hear how they chose their name.

Why did you pick the name you have now
by label licker injust wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.
one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.
when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

Welcome Caupon, I am sorry you are going through this. I too would suggest reading Steve Hasson's books so you know how to talk to your mother. It has to be so difficult when you are very young to go through this. It really shows you how controlling the Witnesses are because you can't just walk away without being shunned. We are here whenever you need someone to talk to.

Kim, I am sorry to hear things have gotten more complicated. It really shows how inactive ones or ones brought up as a JW but never baptized are still indoctrinated. I think you did the right thing by not attending their kangaroo court and hearing false accusations. I feel the same way that if they were to come after us we would never go to a hearing.
You came out about the same time my husband and I did and also we are probably very close in age. Thank heavens we have some wonderful years ahead to enjoy. It is hard when you mostly had friends that were JW's but we are making some headway.
I enjoyed both of Shyla's and your video. It took a lot of courage to come out in the open.

I hate it that I have to lie so much to fade...
by ILoveTTATT ini am feeling down... i feel trapped, and don't know what to do... just need to vent here i guess.... so my mom calls me today, and asks how i am doing.
"how are you doing spiritually?
" i respond... yeah, you know, the usuals... service, meeting, etc.... she tells me that she's doing a lot of service with my dad... i say, "great!"...

I think it is wonderful that you are able to have an honest relationship with your Dad and I wouldn't do anything at this point to give him a reason not to trust you. I know you feel bad about not telling your Mom the truth but your Dad knows her much better and feels like it isn't the right time.
You would have to be prepared for her to shun you because that is the usual end result. My husband told his mom and even though she hasn't shunned him outright she doesn't call him anymore and when they get off the phone they use to tell each other they loved each other and now she doesn't which has really hurt my husband.
You haven't been on this journey very long so just slow down and be patient. Use Steve Hanson's advice because I think you have read his book. Give it time and when you know your Dad sees the whole picture and he is totally out the two of you can work on your Mom.
We have been out 13 months and my husband and I have made all of our decisions very carefully and we never rushed into anything which I believed helped us. Time is on your side and from what I gather your parents are still fairly young so they could get out and have a great life ahead of them. We are in our late 50's and we are enjoying what life has to offer.
Hang in there!!

Bonezz, I really hope it all works out for you. My heart breaks every time I hear of another shunning story. It is such an unloving practice and it really is a way of bullying a person. As much as the news media has come out against this you would think there would be more stories of what they are doing inside these cults to contol the people. I look forward to hearing how this comes out. If I were in your position I know I would feel so desperate and want to do the same thing. You want to shake them to their senses.

I did not grow up as a JW so I had the joy of celebrating and believing in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. I can look back on those times with fondness and never felt like I was deceived like the JW's would like you to believe. I personally do not see any harm in allowing them to believe in fairy tales for a short period of time. Children watch movies and cartoons with make believe all of the time and it is just part of the childhood experience.
