Left JW's after over 30 years as an active witness. When I left, my children came to my home and told me they would never talk to me again. My daughters said I would never attend their weddings and NEVER see my grandchildren. This was before I was DA'd from congregation or had done anything to merit their shunning. I have currently divorced my husband of 27 years. "Free at last. Free at last. Thank god almighty I am free at last."
