Hi Crumpet:
isn't Dominic down in Brighton during the week though or has he moved back?
It's Karl who is down in Brighton. He's at university there.
DNC & family, you just missed a great apostafest up here in Manchester - but as soon as I'm well enough Claire and I will be up for another one, probably in the midlands or even London. It would be lovely to meet you, too!
I'll elaborate more on Stephanie's exiting Watchtower at a later date. It's still a bit raw for her so I can't comment just yet. The main thing is she's out and there's no way she'd ever go back - believe me!
I'm really proud of my children, particularly as they are now getting the education they deserve. Claire and I went to parents evening at the local college last week where Dominic is studying art. His report was brilliant and his tutor said he'll definitely be in the upper set next year!! He wants to do graphic design and related artwork.
I'm telling you all this to, hopefully, encourage others who have left Watchtower. My children left school with 'A' levels (apart from Dominic, who was home-schooled) and were encouraged by Watchtower not to pursue further/higher education. Thankfully, they are all doing wonderfully well and, if successful, will have good careers to go into. Watchtower's lies would have had my children doing mundane work while slogging their guts out pioneering. Now, they can help people in other ways and live the lives partents would like their children to lead.
Exiting is the best thing we ever did as a family. One day Jody may see how duped she's been - but the choice is hers.
Love,
Ian
