  My wounds opened up badly today

  by Maddie in

  the past three weeks having been so stressful and very sad.

  my ex husband died after being in hospital for just over a week in intensive care.. i was just 18 and he was 21 when we first met and after a whirlwind romance we married 6 months later and have two sons together who are now adults.

  although our marriage ended after 25 years and i remarried 7 years ago, he was my first love and i knew him for most of my life.

  i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.

  The Facebook Shun

  a modern twist on the shun the other day: somehow an old jw friend had added me to her facebook friends a few months ago.

  i thought i'd leave her alone for a while, figured she'd read my blog and discovered my current opinion on the organisation and what they did to my family.

  i hadn't messaged her, but the other day i'm on and notice that she's online, so i start a chat.

  HELLO, I'M NEW AND.........

  i never believed a word of any of it !.

  raised a j.w from birth, i'd sit in the meetings and at conventions wondering what the hell it was all about and that it was all one big joke and imagine that they''d all suddenly turn around laughing and pointing at me !!

  saying something like "haha the joke's on you".

  Parents with JW Adult Children Shunning Them - How Are You Coping ?

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  i do understand your plight - as i have 2 adult jw daughters shunning me aged 21 and almost 20. they married witness boys 2 years ago and it's been 1 year since i've spoke with my younger daughter, 5 months since i went to coffee with my older daughter.

  i call them, but they won't return my calls.

  i tell them i love them, but it's as if i don't exist.

  So what caused you to have doubts in the first place?

  i had no doubts at all about the 'truth' untill a friend of mine in the cong' began falling away.

  in trying to help him i had to ask questions and do research and that of course cracked the doors of my mind open for the first time in over thirty years.. years ago, when jwd allowed members to have signatures, i used the following quote from voltaire as mine.

  i still love it.. doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous..
