    and she told me, that she was going to postpone her November trip to Italy; instead, she was thinking about going when the New System was here

    Yad’, although you didn’t provide your daughters age, my first intuitive response to the above quote was; something else in her life, other than a trip to Italy, is being perceived, by her, as more of a priority.

    Depending on her age, it just might be possible, she's either thinking about trying to get ‘hitched’, acquiring a mortgage, or thinking that international travel might be a little risky right now.

    I suspect her excuse of, and actual belief in, “…waiting for the WTBTS version of a ‘New System’ ™…” is a crock, but, as usual, must keep up the approved WTBTS corporate appearance if she wishes to remain desirable amongst her peers of Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Flip, thanks for 'center back' the thread.

    My daughter's age is 28. You may be right about other priorities keeing her from taking this trip, but she has been thinking to take it because her purpose is to eventually go live in Italy to help the 'needy' congregations there. She has contact with 'a sister' who has been traveling there and both are planning on going to live for a year or so. In other words, she has been playing with this idea for quite a while. I was told by Bluesapphire, that if she goes to Italy, that would be a good chance for her to get out of her 'still honeymoon' with the org. I don't know to much about this, but 'blue' knows about this stuff. So I was encouraging her to go... also, like you said, the risks involve with traveling to Italy are grater than before.. so also it could be that... at that moment I didn't want to elaborate, cause I was angry for what I have been exposed earlier on her KH, plus the answer she was giving me, I almost exploded. Never the less, I didn't want to ruin anything with her that night by saying or doing the wrong move from the path I have walked with her since I joined this forum, because I knew I was furious and disappointed to hear that kind of answer from her... she is very sincere: she prays to Jehovah and she is very zealous been a MS. or whatever. She is loyal to everybody and the fact that she is shunning her sister tells me she has to be under mind control to do it; blue has been like a second mother to her.

    I am aware that there are many intelligent answers that I could have given her that night, but like I said, better for me not to say anything under such emotions of anger. Now I think I'm better prepare and thanks to venting my feelings here and your responses, I feel I could confront her with some insight that may lead her to reflect her own ideas about the New System, at least, that is my hope. It could trigger a thouhgt there, right?

    Again, thanks to all for your support and encouragement; my intentions were not to make a joke out of this; I just wrote under a 'blue mountain' feeling the day I posted this thread. Blessings,

    Yadira
