'JW to Mormonism- that's whacked.'
Yes, it is and very confusing to me. My aunt seems happy and although I think it was strange to jump from one cult to another, I love her and it's her business.

Sorry, I posted this in another section. Meant to put it here.
Just wondering which kind is worse to active JW's? My Aunt used to be a JW but now she is a Mormon. I used to be a JW but now I am Agnostic.
Think there is a difference on how most JW's feel about this?

How was your Mother's Day?
by journey-on inmine was terrific.
loving visits, cards, dinner, and togetherness.
i know if i had remained a witness, at least one of my children would have left the borg, and we would probably not have the beautiful relationship we now have.

Sex at 14?
by headisspinning inhello all.... some of you have been following our story from the beginning - and even those of you who haven't should be able to relate to my quandary.... last week my 14 year old son told me he no longer wants to be a jw.
we laboured over telling his jw dad all week.
well, on friday night he finally came clean.. but in a bizarre and unexpected twist, after having sex with his girlfriend for the very first time - in his father's home that very afternoon.

I must say that as a mother of 3 teenage sons, this is a difficult thing to deal with. My oldest son was sexually active at 14. Me and his dad spoke with him in depth about the 'big picture' of this decsion. We provided him with condoms, told him of the diseases, pregnancy and possible child support that could result in continuing.
I always haved an open door with my sons to me to talk about anything they want . I may not always want to hear what they are saying but i feel it's important to have open, honest communication with them.
As far as them being sexually active, I certainly didn't want to encourage it, but i could pretend it wasn't going to happen or ignore it OR I could be pro active and help them make responsible decisions.
The whole JW attitude toward sex is repressive, unhealthy and abnormal. You can teach your son how to be responsible and make good choices if you continue to talk to him.

My two sisters, who live about 1 hour away from me, are coming to visit me tomorrow. I will be taking them to an early dinner, probably to a local Chinese restaurant. My mom will be at the one day circuit assembly, which happens to be held in the next town over from me. I will send them back home with a large Cesar salad from my mom's favorite restaurant.
I am looking forward to spending some time with my sisters.

I felt a lot peace inside when she said that to me…I knew that the struggle was over.
That is exactly how I felt when I found out the real truth about the WTBS. It's amazing how peaceful my life has been since then. I'm so happy for you and your wife.
