Likening my exit from the JWs to a bad divorce
by findingmyway inunlike those of you who made the choice to drift or fade away, i was df'd a few years ago and, at the time, i thought i would return.
with the passing of time, i am realizing that going back for the sake of mending family bonds is not a good enough reason to go back.
but my family has been holding out the hope that i will return.

My son will be 9 tomorrow and we celebrated his first b-day yesterday!
by findingmyway init was a surprise and he felt a little awkward -- especially when we sang the birthday song -- but he embraced it.
he was so excited to see that everyone came for him and brought gifts and he was very appreciative!

Any Ex-Bethelites Out There?
by findingmyway ini've heard some tawdry stories about the "goings on" in bethel.
wondered if any of them are true?
i don't want to repeat any of them because none of them were first hand accounts, so the stories could be extremely distorted.

Going to Church for the First Time Alone
