Been gone a while, but feel the need for support again
by megsmomma inmy jw daughter is getting close to being 18, and she was baptized at the ripe old age of 11.... so i feel like the shunning is coming.
my sister is also on the verge of getting baptized, even though i have been able to show her many things about the watchtower proving it is full of lies, she is still falling for it.
she spoke to an elder about the shunning policy, saying she wouldn't join if she would have to stop speaking to me....and they said they couldn't make her do anything...so she took it as them not caring if she speaks to me.

My new neighbor was raised a JW and still feels guilt...what do I share?
by megsmomma ini need some help with what to share with my new neighbor.
my hubby and i were talking to her yesterday when they realised they went to the same school and knew some of the same people.
she mentioned one guy my husband knew and said she went to the same chuch as he did and then she said "he was a jw"..so i asked her if she was, and she said she was raised as one.

Hello! Update on me...
by megsmomma ini have been laying low for a while, and wanted to say hi to everyone, and give a bit of an update.
the past year i have learned to let go of my mom and step-dad.
my mom wouldn't talk to me before, but my step-dad and i went through some conversations that showed me how ignorant he is.

Going to visit relatives...What do I do about boundaries with JW mom?
by megsmomma ini am really excited about getting to go see my sister and grandparents in nv.
i will be going with just my 1 1/2 yr old.
my g-parents were never jw's and my sister was never baptised and just kind of rides the fence.. the issue i am having is my mom lives right by them.

The Watchtower has trained us well.....to be vocal apostate's!
by megsmomma ini was thinking about how "against" the watchtower so many are.
we are outspoken about it and want people we love to get out too.
we are very vocal about it...more so than a-lot of people are when they leave a religion.

How long does it take to "catch up" from the WTBTS stunting your growth?
by megsmomma infollowing my last thread about how being a jw stunts your mental growth, .
i was thinking f how many people here that have recently come out of the haze...and seem to be "caught up" on their mental abilities rather quickly.
does your mind catch up to your age as soon as the "flip switches"....or does it take time living in the "real world" for a while that does it?.

Do you think JW's grow and mature as they age?
by megsmomma ini ask because my ex, who is still a jw and my 9 year old's dad (hence the still knowing him part) hardley seems to change at all over the years.
i do know he is now an elder....and he doesn't have time for much fun.
(they are usually broke and busy with meetings, ect.
