It is so heatbreaking when you finally realize that it's not and if you leave you become labeled as a person that doesn't love God and people actually stop speaking to you.
This is so very true!

Ever found yourself grown up?
by Sparkplug inmy mom is getting older, and we had a real thin ice relationship all of my life.
she is older now, and i have been stressing because she needs care, maybe committed.
her jw life left no room for planning for old age.

That sounds like a great arrangement! And, um, I am kind of curious as to why she is not going to the meetings anymore. I bet she'll tell you some time.

thought id thank you all for your help since i left, i think that there are so many of us that you have all helped and never hear from.. all of my family are still in the org and i could not have gotten through the initial couple of years of leaving without the support that i have found here, even if it did not involve direct communication with you all.. thank you!

I'm sorry, my Secret Santa present will not be delivered before Christmas
by Elsewhere ini shipped the package well in advance (december 10th), but ups and office depot seriously screwed up!
they promised it would be delivered by the 19th, but yesterday i went to the ups website to track the package and it never left dallas!
as it turns out, for a package to be shipped to canada it must be accompanied by an invoice... but office depot, the place that shipped it for me, never attached the needed invoice nor did they even tell me such a thing would be needed!

Is the Watchtower Society strong enough to win this war with the internet?
by jack w incould it be that the wts actually thinks it can win this war?
i mean, they are forcing sites to close down, suing the people that run them etc.
i wonder if this is the way they want to "handle" the internet problem.

No, they are not strong enough to win the war against the internet. The very fact that they had two websites shut down proves that the internet is becoming a serious threat to them. For every site they shut down, 10 new sites appear. No way they can win this one. Simply type in your browser "watchtower quotes" and look at the THOUSANDS of sites that come up, 99% of them contain damaging information to the WTS. There aren't enough hours in a day or enough lawyers in a city to attack all of those sites. My guess is that somewhere in the near future, they will strictly forbid their members to use the internet. Just like smoking was once allowed and then it was not allowed anymore. Mind my words, this is going to happen. They will make using the internet a reason to DF a person, because keeping their members away from the internet is going to be the only sure way to keep them away from information they are not supposed to see.They will give it some twist, they will say that the internet is an instrument of Satan and it should be avoided as much as a ouija board should be avoided.

Do you have a "Confidante"?
by JH in.
do you have a person, thats very close to you that you can reveal almost anything, your joys pains, just about anything to?.
or, do you keep all your worries inside and deal with every emotion you have by yourself?.

A Morbid Question: Who Could Die That Would Crush You???
by minimus infor me, it would be my daughter.
my only child.
a married woman---but always still my little girl.

Minimus, my answer might be as morbid as your question is.
I am with John Doe, I have become very, very isolated over the past decade, and I am not really close to anyone at all anymore. I don't know my family. But if my cat would die (I told you this was morbid) I know for a fact that it would crush me. She has been my loyal companion for the past 8 years. We sleep together, we eat together, we go for walks together, we play together..
I was engaged once and my fiancee died in a car accident just a few months before our wedding. Not only did it crush me, it changed my whole life. It has been 24 years now, and I still think of him often and wonder how things would have been, had he not died.
