i don't remember if i have posted about this form some obvious reasons.
my mom and dad were helping me with an outdoor project at home, and my df's son stopped by.
i knew he was in the area and told him to stop by.
My ex has very little to do with three of our four children. (the ones who rejected the Watchtower)
It hurt them when they were younger but I kept reminding them "Just because your father doesn't love you the way you want him to, it doesn't mean he doesn't love you" ~ It must have worked because these three are emotionally healthy and doing well with life. They can even laugh about their dad's ignorance.
what do you think of this situation?.
scenario.
a former 'sister' gets divorced and remarries 'out of the truth'.
This Decision may have been made for Personal Reasons. Perhaps the Mother didn't trust the Step-Father with the Daughter. I had a friend years ago (a JW) who said she would never trust a Man around her daughters if she re-married. She had been raped by an uncle when she was little girl. I can understand her totally.
had weekly bible study today.
so confused.
ready to give up on everything...everything:-(
Was it a "Bible" study or a Study of a Book?
restrangled mentioned that there has been some heavy stuff on this forum recently.. she asked for some positive things from members.
i didn't post on her thread, but.
decided to start my own.
These are definitely Positive Steps! I highly encourage you to attend the local ex-JW meetup group. While we don't currently have a regular "Get-Together" here in Columbus, we have met and have each other's telephone numbers. If we need to talk, we just pick up the phone.
i don't necessarily look back bitterly over everything i've missed.
i feel no desire, no missing of the 'friends", the "organization", the "brotherhood".
i've accepted that life goes on and i must learn from the past.
I Never Had Mixed Emotions about Leaving the JWs. I only wish I had done it sooner.
first of all i would like to think everyone for the support i recieved yesterday.
i would also like to shed some light on my past, hopefully this does not give it away as to who i might be.
my wife and i were both raised as jw, we were both baptized when were fifteen years old.
Hopefully your wife will start to listen to you. If not, you need to be supportive of your kids. They need you.
one of my best friends and ex-room mate who still remains a jw called me just 4 days ago asking me for info regarding emergency medicaid.
he had been hospitalized for almost a month and had no health coverage at the time so he called me knowing that i'm a know it all.
even before me being df'd he would always be afraid of his parents knowing we hanged out together so that made it even more fun!
You have given the best Witness ever. The one of love.
i so loved the post of the kitten the other day.
i checked-out this week and drank three bottles of gin, even though i stopped in toto four months ago, my wife is out of town.
please do not post anything about counseling here as i have tried that and am on lots of meds.
I Wish I were close by so I could Hug You. I am almost in tears worring about you.

Oompa, Please try to remember we love you. You are very precious. You're purpose isn't fulfilled yet.
