Wow,,that's wonderful about your mom,,is she reading any of the books like Ray Franz' book and others? I think reading a lot is important to straighten up our mental process that the WTS scrambled on us for so many years. Best wishes to you both.

Did he ever learn how to cook?
My dad was born with this ability to make everything taste wonderful even though he rarely cooks. I'm not worried.
Now .. my mom might have told Dad she didn't want to be a JW.. but I found out last night that she got up the next morning and went to the meeting .. WTF?

Renee:
I'm really happy for you. Enjoy your holidays!!
Yes, you still need to protect your heart from the possibility of another change-up, but it sounds to me like your mother needs your support. It's wonderful that you can be there for her. You know how hard this all has been for you. It is also hard on her.

Sounds as if all we have to do is get the witnesses to start smoking and they will see the light! A little oxygen deprivation and such clarity of thought! Kidding.... Great news... W.Once

You may have something here. Maybe I could send a few redheads (his favorite) over to visit my dad and he would forget all about religion .. LOL

This sounds like a good balanced view, yet you can have some hope:
am being careful -- I think it will take me a long time before I would get too excited because I'm afraid she'll flip flop again.
Help her out. Prepare for the rollercoaster she's going to ride dragging you along.
Remember, she is trying to break free, but has so many pressures on her.Strength to you.

My mom is still suffering from jwism I'm pretty sure she will continue from now till the end that way. But she doesn't have a husband keeping her down she willingly victimizes herself.

Sounds exciting.
Remeber leaving is a process. Many people flip flop all the time. Everytime she does the flip flop the rose colored glasses start slipping further and further until she can let them drop. Have a great holiday with you family.

First, WOW, who'd have thought? Next, allow her to take things slowly.
She must be eaten up with guilt right now. She is surely going through some tough turmoil inside.
Just tell her you love her and maybe give her some space. I don't think I'd jump all over the CofC wagon or other "apostate literature" just yet. This is a long process to take.
Yes, be cautiously optimistic.......but we all hope for the best for you.
