question for older ex-elders
by scooterspank ini have only just begun to talk to my father about why he left the truth.
i know why he stepped down as an elder many years ago but we have just scratched the surface about why he "faded" in his 60's i would say (he is now 74).
i just wonder how much leaving the "truth" that much later in life has an effect on depression, anxiety, anger (he joined in his 30's)?

Really this question can include anyone. I was having a hard time last night figuring out exactly what I was trying to ask. I guess I just wonder if it's harder on people when they are older and were in for so long?

I just wonder how much leaving the "truth" that much later in life has an effect on depression, anxiety, anger (he joined in his 30's)? But depression is my biggest concern. Do you feel that you wasted your life? Do you regret how you brought up your children? Do you fear the future, death? Are you angry and sad about all those wasted years? Just wondering... Thanks in advance.

Ahhhh yes. The I'm not saying happy birthday, happy birthday dance. They will talk in circles about the day you were born, bleh bleh bleh, but they can't just spit it out. Happy Birthday. That being said, my father who has faded for years actually uttered those words to me for the first time in my life this year. And my sister who has also faded gave me my first birthday card from a family member ever and birthday presents too. I'm a very lucky girl.

Lucinda__first love.....prison and Jehovah's Witnesses
by Terry inin 1967 i couldn't play piano or any other musical instrument.
but, i could chord with my left hand and peck out melody in my right hand!.
in fact, i was quite compelled to compose music the way teenagers are often overwrought with hormone driven compulsions to express themselves!

I used to dream of space travel in the new system. After all, we had eternity to travel light years away. Oh well, living a very happy JW free life here on earth.
