Personally i would say leave her alone. She's old. Emotionally, she will probably not cope with these 'ideas'.

I hope you stay here and find comfort, because the people here are just like you and many of them have been in the same dark place.
Suicide does not fix anything and there is no return from that point. At least right now, options may present themselves that will allow you to be happy.
I would recommend you start to write a diary, put all your thoughts and feelings into it and use it to reason things out. Write it as though you are writing to a friend you trust. That way, you cannot be judged or hurt but you can still offload and get things out of your head.
Don't let the Watchtower Society rob you of the most important thing you have - Life. It, YOU are too important. All those memories, thoughts and feelings - good or bad will one day make you a balanced and strong person, who will be in a position to help others in need! -

I am not suggesting for a moment that you didn't make the right decision, because although i was for a while 'cut off', i have now got the 'best of both worlds' - family and i am no longer a JW. That said, i also have the satisfaction of knowing that in 60/70 years i did the right thing, and lived MY life the way i wanted to.
The more people who go back/stay in that religion the more chances it will stay around. I'm not judging those who do it, i even understand why but i personally could not because silence is in some respects the same as condoning the society's actions and its history. How do you expect others to find reason to leave if you remain in?
Could you honestly go door to door or conduct a study, ruining someone elses life as you indoctrinate them to improve your own existence without any thought? -

Am I wrong for being angry at my dads funeral last year?

As people have already said, the Witnesses tend to focus on the 'truth' rather than the person. That said, the last two funerals i've been to at a Kingdom Hall have actually been somewhat balanced, which was suprising!

Don't let them bother you, or use you like this. I seriously hope you find a solution because it is totally unfair that you pay for these free loading hippies

The Watchtower will use any excuse to bring up "bad associations"
by sabastious inlive with jehovah's day in mind (pub 2006) pg 135. beware of bad associations!.
20 what can you young ones learn from the 12 prophets?
one of the most-quoted scriptures in discussions between you and your parents may be 1 corinthians 15:33 about avoiding bad associations.

I have made some pretty good moves forward in the social world. However, when I first came out I had a harder time with social stuff. I get called 'weird' a lot. It's going to take a few more years to get the Watchtower weeds out of my psyche.

My guess is you've only been out a few years at the most? You'll get there, it takes time and patience with yourself!

Mocking of the Organization from JWs
by NomadSoul inthis is what my aunt told me.. once an elder at the closing of the meeting said this about the revised reasoning book with a sarcastic voice.
"brothers and sisters don't forget to get your copy of the new reasoning book, it has over two hundred revisions!"..
my aunt swears he said it in a sarcastic mocking tone.. i thought it was funny so i had to ask if anybody else had similar stories..
