Feeling well sad/depressed

my jw daughter wanted me to come to the meeting tonight as the d.o.

is there this week and giving the talk and i sort of said i would but i just can't make myself get dressed in my jw duds and go.

i haven't seen my granddaughters for a month since they live 20 minutes from kh one way and i live about 20 minutes from it in the other direction.i think i kept going as long as i did just to see them.not that my daughter won't let me see them but with school and all the jw stuff they are busy every evening seems like.and i don't like to make waves since daughter is dealing with her husband being df'd and has so much stress without me adding to it.i try to be understanding and hope she will wake up one day and be free of the jw's.her husband was a jw and got her into it and now he is df'd and enjoying it alot but she is carrying on with it.reading your life story posts helps me so much.i wish i could get her to read some of them.. .

i read this book in the 70's and it just came back to me as i have been reading posts on this site.

it was called "this perfect day"by ira levin and the people in the perfect world believe everything they are told just like a jw and some are underground rebels..it is an interesting story sort of a 1984 type story but with a better ending and i am going to find the book and read it again.. .

Does Coming To This Site Make You Feel Better?
by minimus in

i recognized, when i first started searching the web, that there are tons of information regarding jehovah's witnesses.

most is negative toward the religion.. coming onto jwd/jwn gives one a different perspective.

you get to interact with those thinking about leaving, those who have already left and even some who never were in the cult but are fascinated by the experiences of those that were in the "truth".. when you are on this site, how does it affect you??
