    Welcome, welcome.

    You came on to the board on a Friday and the weekends usually have less
    activity here. Imagine how many would welcome you if you bump this
    thread on Monday morning.

    607 BCE was your point of enlightenment. "This Generation" was mine.
    Whatever it is, the discoveries after allowing yourself to examine the religion
    will provide a wild rollercoaster ride. Strength to ya.

    Welcome brave lady.

    I expect that black habit will be turned to white, and the sad expression will become joyous again.

    Hello and welcome. Your situation sounds very similar to mine. Family in/607 the stumbling block etc. The emotions are so raw at the beginning. The only advice I will give you is to try and keep a lid on it until you have a chance to work through your own feelings.

    I just finished reading Steve Hassan's Combatting Cult Mind Control. I can't recommend it enough. Read Crisis of Conscience too.

    Mickey.

    OMG!!!!!

    You have no idea how much joy and happiness a post like yours brings.

    BIG HIGH FIVE TO "TOOKTHEREDPILL" & "ANNOINTEDS DAUGHTER"!!

    If I wasn't on Firefox right now, I'd be plastering the screen with every emoticon and celebratory picture I could think of.

    I began waking up about 2 years ago and have been very carefully working on my JW-loyal wife and non-baptized kids ever since. Hearing success stories like yours is SOOOO encouraging. Thank you.

    A bit of advice: Go easy on trying to reach your JW relatives right now. Give it time. That is if you want to try to maintain some sort of connection with them.

    In the days/weeks/months ahead lean on this forum. It's a real life-saver.

    Congratulations again to you both!

    Welcome warmly!

    Keep holding your breath for that deep spiritual osmosis that you'll get from the annointed parent. I have an annointed grandparent. The only thing it ever got me is oohs and ahhs from the true-believers. Pfft!
