Hello and hearty welcome, "What Happened"!!!
Leaving quoted you...
Anyway, I am going to approach my daughter and son in law about my decision to leave the truth this weekend. I am hoping she wont shun me.
and then said:
Please read both of Hassan's books before even thinking about telling them.
~~~
AGREED!!!!! Please do not tell them until you have more of a handle on your new-found truths and how your loved ones will react, if you do not want to be shunned.
Love,
Baba.
Hello and welcome! Thanks for sharing your story. I never married in the JWs, and I'm glad I didn't. There weren't many men to chose from, and of those, few could be considered a decent man.
All the best for you!
BTTT, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
Thanks for sharing... I too would warn of speaking to your daughter against the WT
My JW daughter loves me I know that .But as she said "I love Jehovah more MUM &
must obey HIM,so I wont talk to you any more".She has on very rare occasions like,
when there has been the death of her sister or another tragic thing going on in family
So be warned.I suggest you do read the book suggested, God bless

welcome to the board.....Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. I was df'd 1 year ago this month, but will start working on reinstatement beginning of next month, only to fade back out again. (long story!)
My first thought when you mention talking to your daughter about your decision is this......and I know that everyone is different........if my parents told me tomorrow that they were leaving the org. I would follow suit and never look back. I fully trust their judgement and know that if they had lost faith in the WTS, that there was a damn good reason for it.
I understand the concern that others have with your decision. Follow your gut.......usually that is the right thing to do.
just my 2 cents.......
Welcome to JWN! Just in case you don't know, there are many women who were persecuted for leaving their abusive jw husbands. It happens all the time in the organization.
welcome, no talky talky yet. Take it easy, read get prepared and then decide, listen to tha board!
Hugs to you ((((((( WhatHappened )))))))
