My little heathens
by merfi ini da'd in march after seeing the filth under the facade... the last meeting i was at with my kids was a co visit in may when i couldn't stomach the drivel and we walked out early... since then, the kids (9, 10 and 13) have spent the summer, now every other weekend with their dad who is a jw about 2.5 hours away.
in the meantime, we've celebrated all the birthdays (two july kids and me in august, brother, nephew and cousins...) where the kids have signed the cards and helped pick out presents.
they've been to about 2-3 b'day parties each for classmates since march.

Evil plan or slip-back to brainsuck? :(
by merfi ini da'd in march.
i've done enough research and know enough about the org to know that i could never never believe that crap again.
i doubt the bible... i despise the label of "religion" in general and have found such wonderful freedom in my... freedom.

the ex is still jw, in a city nice and far away so isn't able to give me any local grief.
