Life after the Borg
by Ranchette inmy husband and i were raised as witnesses in strong strict families.. our fathers were elders so we always had to set the example.because of this we started and ran our family the same way.so when we decided to leave were at the top in the congregation so to speak.i was very concerned for our children,actually i was scared to death for them.. i was looking for answers myself and didn't know if i was strong enough to be of much help to my children.we just took things slow and had lots of talks with the kids and walked them through it.i'm realizing that you can get them out just like you got them in in the first place.by your example and lots of communication.it's been 7 or 8 months since we have stepped foot in a kingdom hall and our kids are doing great!they are making new friends and had the best summer ever.the reason i'm telling this is to encourage any parents out there that are as scared as i was.
you can do it.you will enjoy it because you will find that you are much closer to your children.it's amazing how quickly they opened up and told their real feelings without fear of our disaproval.. i just enrolled them both as regular kids in for the first time.no lecturing or preaching to the teachers about what they can and can't do.i'm so excited for them!they can experience all the fun i missed out on and just be kids.i almost fell over when they asked for birthdays and christmas.i gave them both birthday parties this summer and explained that we will have to go slow and figure it out as we go along.. i'm planning on letting them celebrate the holidays at school and i think we will celabrate the seasons picking any traditions we like from their holidays and creating some of our own.i'm just not realigous anymore so will probably never do things the way most do.. hope this gives hope and helps someone.. ranchette

For your last week as a JW
by Skimmer inif you are a jw, you may he hesitant about leaving because you think they will gossip about you after you're gone.
do not worry, they are gossiping about you already.
so, have some fun and give them some extra material to help them with their "more spiritual than thou" addiction.

Tremendous amount of guilt because of the way you treated your X?
by flowerfreaks2 ina newbie to the site but wondering if anyone else has felt regret the way they treated their mate when married after they too left the jw's and had time to use their brain and analyze what they actually did to another human being.
i've wanted to write him an apology letter but we have nothing connecting us.
10 years of marriage but no children, so no real reason for me to reach out to him.
