Breaking the news to my family this week....if I can get up the nerve!!!
by Juniper inso, here's the deal....i've spent the last two years riding the 'inactive' train and it's gone pretty smoothly.
but it's gotten to the point where i have to tell my folks that i don't intend to ever go back.
i've been putting it off because i know my dad will want to hear exactly why i want to do this, and then (obviously) try and 'reason' with me to think otherwise.. i love my family a lot, but i can't lie to them anymore and continue to blame my lack of meeting attendance on fabricated excuses.. i'm trying to find a way to just say that i don't want to do it anymore without having it turn into a theological argument.

Honoring Last Wishes - JW Death
by 4JWY ini have a dear, long time friend who left the org along with her spouse and teens, about three years ago.
last week, her father, who had always been a sort of jw, died.
he left his final wishes in writing that he did not want a "memorial service" upon his death.. her brother, who is an elder, has convinced her that they will be having one anyway - of course at the kh.

My Ex is suicidal, apparently
by dmouse insome of you might remember my story from years ago - how i became an 'apostate' which effectively ended my marriage of 20 years.
how my wife subjected me to intense psychological abuse when i left 'the truth'.. my son ben, whom i love deeply, left when he was dragged into the back room and told he was being used by satan to corrupt the congregation (he was only15) because he was gay.. my dearest middle daughter charlotte, who has more common sense than all of us put together, 'left' on her 14th birthday.
she was dragged out of the house in her bare feet to be taken to the meeting, and because i intervened i spent the next year on a camp bed in the front room.. in the end, i could not stand the abuse and left.
