Hay out there.
Wife got back from her Thursday meeting & now she's setteled down with the dog, a V large G&T (maid be me) & watching Terminator 2 on the telly with her Ipad on her lap looking up places to go for our holiday (& Googling symptoms of to many antibiotics as my 16 year old is getting signs of IBS)
So now is a good time to say Hello.
Well hello. My name is Phats & I'm an ex Jehovah's Witness.
There, I've said it.
This must be like it is going to your first AA meeting.
I've already used up some of my posts for a newbe but I'm not in to the whole long story thing.
Basically I've been out now for 8 years (mentally out for all but four or five of those years of my life when I made the commitment, got baptized & married.)
I was a bourn in to a "divided home" (who made the division? I don't know) Anyway. My mum was & still is very in & my Dad (always out died in 2010 at 89 years.)
I'm not DFed or anything. I managed a quick (about 12 weeks) fade & have loads of family still very in & some fully out.
The whole JW thing has been a total & all encroaching part of my life from day one. Still is in many ways to this day.
Wife still in. 12 year old daughter still in (mainly for Mum I believe but we will see) & a 16 year old daughter totally out.
I'm sure I'll fill in the gaps over time but I am very pleased to be here & hope to talk to many of you along the way.
Phats.
