A coming out story to my mother.
by JennyBoo inso i actually came out to my mother a few days ago.
told her how i really felt about being a jw (jehovah's witness) and how i wasn't straight.
i wasn't surprised by the disapproving response i got because really, i wasn't expecting any more.

I think I've finally been disfellowshipped
by Godsendconspirator init wasn't my preferred method of leaving but at least i'm as far as i can be from this cult.
over 2 years ago i've tried to fade out but i guess i did it too drastically.
i live in nyc so the entire territory is walkable and everybody in the congregation live pretty close by.

My Marking Talk
by jws inback to august of 1988. my brother and i were the ones being marked.
at the time, my father had clued us in that it was coming and had gotten a recording of it.

It's all coming back...
by SoJo16 ini joined the board this month and holy cow, are there ever some interesting points of view here.. a bit about my background: my dad was an unbaptised born-in who nevertheless went to vietnam and college where he met my mom.
mom was lutheran, but dad told her the only religion he was interested in belonging to was the jdubs.
they married in the early 70s and were both baptized.

No knowledge of settlements, and no curiosity, either
by SoJo16 ini spent this last weekend with my mother, who is still in.
the local newspaper ran a headline about child abuse by a priest, and she made a comment about the priests abusing kids again.
without missing a beat, i said 'haven't you all been settling a lot of child sex abuse claims yourselves?
