  My little heathens

  i da'd in march after seeing the filth under the facade... the last meeting i was at with my kids was a co visit in may when i couldn't stomach the drivel and we walked out early... since then, the kids (9, 10 and 13) have spent the summer, now every other weekend with their dad who is a jw about 2.5 hours away.

  in the meantime, we've celebrated all the birthdays (two july kids and me in august, brother, nephew and cousins...) where the kids have signed the cards and helped pick out presents.

  they've been to about 2-3 b'day parties each for classmates since march.

  Evil plan or slip-back to brainsuck? :(

  i da'd in march.

  i've done enough research and know enough about the org to know that i could never never believe that crap again.

  i doubt the bible... i despise the label of "religion" in general and have found such wonderful freedom in my... freedom.

  the kiddos are home this weekend.

  (dad is still jw) i think they already just 'know' that when they come home, there is no silly jehoober stuff going on.

  we have fun instead.

  2. experiences

  my situation: i da'd this past march.

  the ex is still jw, in a city nice and far away so isn't able to give me any local grief.

  i have three kiddos, 8, 10 and 12. the 8yo (boy) could really give a crap, i think.

  the hospital friends have been and are my support system as well as my 'team'.. a nurse friend played stupid last week and talked to the jw girl.

  the jw asked her what religion she was.

  Return Visits (tm) -- something I'm thinking of doing

  by merfi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my little book, all organized into "town", "rural -- by township", and other towns is full of rvs.

  i wasn't all that great at this, as i was not good at getting back to these people that i left stuff with, but i have a few.

  what i'd like to do is go through my rv book and "call" on these people again, only this time with an apology and perhaps some tidbit of real 'truth' -- silentlambs, mexico/malawi etc.. anyone else ever feel like trying to 'right a wrong' or similar?.
