  on another thread, a co says that sites like these don't have much impact on their numbers.. personally i didn't leave because of this site or any other xjw site.. i was unhappy and felt that something was wrong and this site confirmed what i felt.. how about you?

  so, i'm in my twenties (still in) and with a sister who is 27 and neither of us are happy in the borg.

  part of the problem is that she is divorced but not scriptually.

  her ex was a nasty nasty piece of work and she was better off without him.

  Thoughts...

  by RichieRich in

  all to often, my mind drifts to my mixed feelings for my mother.

  the deep love that burned in my heart for the woman who had given me life.. the suicidal remorse i felt for bringing such guilt and reproach on her good name.. the blinding anger i felt for her never questioning her beliefs, but always questioning her son.. and so i'm left with a vacuous emotional chamber for a large element that is missing from my soul.. and when you've lost your most valuable possesion, everything else is gravy on an empty plate - pointless.. and so i hurt too, and i love my mom, but does she love me?

  the unanswered question haunts my mind.. we recieve, we give, and sometimes, we just plain screw up.

  no, i don't have this article yet, it will appear in the sep 1, 2006 wt.

  it may even be a wt study article.. in the august 15 watchtower, the box "in our next issue" has three forthcoming articles, and one of them is "when a loved one leaves jehovah".

  of interest, it's not when a loved one leaves the society, it's jehovah.. will keep you posted.
