Just got a visit from my mother....
by its_me! inshe came by tonight.
i was glad to see her, but it was so mentally exhausting.
she is a very devoted jw, and the whole time, i was trying to say everything just right so as not to "tip her off" to my mindset.

I'm new here
by Diamonds ini stumbled across this website a few months back and have often read the topics posted but this is the first time that i've posted anything myself.. all my family are jws - i got baptized when i was 17 but started to fade when i was about 20 and finally left at 22 when i managed to escape to university and move away from home.
ten years on and i am still out of the org but never disfellowshipped (although i would have been if they'd have known what i've been up to!).
the relationship with my family is not great - i get on with some members better than others.
