Isn't it ironic
by Princess Daisy Boo ini used to regularly get calls from my mom (she rarely confronted me face to face for some reason) about my leaving "da troof" and most often, her lectures were met with my silence - i didnt have the confidence to answer her back as to why i left and refused to return.
now - almost 7 months are regularly reading and posting on jwd, i am angry and just itching for an opportunity for me to tell her what i have learned and discovered.
the relief at discovering that i wasn't alone is indescribable!

question for jw or ex-jw parents?
by atpeace ini'm curious if while you were or still are involved in the organization - did you ever express doubts, especially to grown children?
or, if you had doubts did you still encourage your family to participate?
in your experience, what would be the best way to start a conversation about what you truly believe?.

how do you handle relatives questions on your jw status?
by atpeace ini was curious how others handled the questions like - so, when is your convention, how many publishers do you have now, etc.
these questions always come up with the once a year visit to jw relatives.
usually it's asked in earshot of my jw parents.
