Mine is from Ray Franz's book "Crisis of Conscience".
It described perfectly how I felt mentally when I found out the truth about the truth and knew I couldn't just discuss it with anybody.
After all, where else would I go?

@ Billy the X and Doubting Bro -
wow, so far 4 out of 4 "worldly" people i've talked to about my situation, actually care.
i mean ive been telling myself that most people would care.
but i can just tell, by the way i feel shocked and surprised at their genuine interest to listen and help, that subconsciously, i still feel like no worldly person cares.
Welcome...........again/back!! LOL
Thanks for sharing your story as well as your positive outlook for the future. I hope it goes well with you.

this is my biggest dilema.
although mentally i really feel i could walk away from the org right now, i still have genuine love for the people i have come to know over the years.
i love people!.
When I wrote this originally, I really felt it would be hard to leave my "friends". But as many have pointed out, THEY are the ones leaving us.
00DAD, you are right, if it is conditional, it ain't love!
The strange part is that so far, despite my inactivity, no one (or perhaps, I haven't noticed) has cut me off. I have shared my feelings with several close "friends", which I know is not always a good idea. But generally, I have always been well liked by everyone, so maybe that's why they haven't pulled the cord?
However, as time has progressed, I see that no matter how you look at it, around any JW's, you are always going to have to pretend in some way. Is that what real friendship is? I don't think so.
And so I am working on forming relationships outside of the org. It's coming along well, except for..... the still-believing-wife part. Oh well.
Thanks for all the new comments.
