Thank you for your encouragement. Fortunately my wife and kids are all out. :-)
That is worth its weight in gold. Its more than many can say here on JWN. Great job.
Even if the letter/email falls on deaf ears, at least you got to vent.
we and our unbaptised children have now been cut off by our last jw family members.

3- Maybe, about a 50/50 chance of this
4- No, 1-2% chance of this
I wish I lived closer so I could drop subtle facts about the cult, but then I risk them never talking to me again. Oh well, why ruin a perfectly sane delusion?
Thanks for the post.
jwn has been great for me.
i think i have deprogrammed pretty quick so far compared to many with all their loved ones in.
i am enjoying meeting up with posters off the board and fbing some too.
Not so much creepy, just some mean nasty turds to scared to say how they really feel in an open forum. If you disagree with someone, ignore it or call them out on the board. Why be so passive aggressive in a PM?
Keep up the good fight Kate. I enjoy reading your posts.
I agree with Cofty, if anyone gets inappropriate PM’s, let a mod know.

Well said.
