I live in upper Minnesota and early this week we actually had rain. Now tomorrow they're telling us we could get 6 inches of snow. Ugh. I wish it was 81 degrees!

Thank you for all your caring comments. And thank you for helping me to see that I would be enabling her by allowing her to come home and continue her behavior. I found out today that she will be going into treatment for awhile and then into an adult foster home or assisted living home.....They interviewed her and she also has suicidal thoughts, not something I can deal with. If I come home from the job and find her dead....I will totally flip out.
Thank you patio34 for reminding me of the four c's. This is something I should write down and say to myself.
The only thing I can do now is try to find the inner peace that I desperately need and come to grips with the decision I made. I hope someday she will see that I love her and didn't abandon her. Again...thank you all.

When you don't have much family left because they are all lost in the religion, you hang on to the family you have. I take care of my aunt (who is only 2 years older than I am). She is a drug addict and alcoholic. She comes from down south and lost her whole family because of her addictions. She has been getting worse over the last year living here by sneaking booze and cough syrup. She ended up in the hospital, skin and bones and has diabetes. All the social workers tell me not to take her home because it will not help her. She needs help. She needs 24 hour supervision, something I cannot give her. I have always thought of her as a sister of mine. I love her so much. I made the decision yesterday to not bring her home....ever.....my heart is broken. I know I did the right thing, but I cannot have peace with myself. She will kill herself if I don't help her.........

The Spiritual Raping of a Witness
by Blueblades infrom diane wilson's, "awakening of a jehovah's witness", page 265.. the society says:"rape flourishes in societies that tolerate violence and sexual manipulation.
" ( aw 3--8--93, p.4 ) what a striking parallel to "spiritual rape", which flourishes in a society that tolerates spiritual abuse and mind manipulation!.
the spiritual raping of a witness.. an organization.promises:problems are things of the past!

I was also told that God will turn off the sex drive. And my Mom said she heard from a brother that all families would own 5 acres of land so they can plant and grow their own food and take care of themselves. I was thinking....what if my 5 acres happen to be around the North Pole???

The elderly
by moses ini feel for the elderly who have put all thier hopes in the society and now really have no one to turn to.my mom is reaching 70 and was converted in the late 60s she still believes it is the truth but i think because she has nowhere else to go i think it is true also for all the elderly in the hall i bet some still believe some of the old doctines and have no idea about the new ones but are still hanging on because they feel thier is nowhere else to go, they basically sacrifsied thier lifes for the organazation.

Moses,
My mom is close to 70 too and got the "truth" in the late 60's!! I feel the same way you do. Where can they go now? I think they just keep going without even thinking about it anymore. Even if something drastic happens in the organization, they will simply block their mind to it. They don't want to know........they just keep hanging on to that dream they've been following all their life.
