  OnedayI'llbefree...I'll say it again. Time heals all wounds. Keep your distance for a while. Who knows she may have backed out of your life to make room for the one behind her. Focus on yourself exiting is a difficult thing and you will need ro be able to rely on yourself. It's been said start making non JW friends. Seek out education or hobbies to fill the time. Things can only go up. Hang in there.

  There were plenty of Bethel rooms with dining room sets in it. At 90 there was a couple in a single room with a full dining set, table linens ,centerpiece, couch and coffee table. The room was crowded,they slept in a wall bed. Every night they had to take the room apart and then put it back together in the morning. I thought that was a collossal waste of time.
  There were Bethelites that had some really nice antique furniture it may have been there's before going to bethel. There was one brother who had a knights armor set up in his brownstone and a cabinet very much like the one in that dining room. The furniture in there is the type of stuff I've seen in bethel rooms. Not unusual at all. A couple I cleaned for had a double room & it was wall to wall antiques. I cleaned for a couples with high end stuff. Furniture from bombay co., crate & barrell. I know a sister who stopped giving this one couple monetary gifts when she saw there room looked better than her home. Many were given things by generous publishers. If a family was going to upgrade their furniture they would give the old to bethelites. Some came from families that were well off. Some were well off before entering service.

  I was going to partake this year but I didn't get to attend the memorial. After reading the bible and realizing I have the heavenly hope I began to doubt JW's as having the truth. The insomnia due to researching the Society and stimulants I took to stay awake led to a mental breakdown and I was hospitalized. So even if I had remained in the borg as a fader & started to partake they would have dismissed me as mentally imbalanced like the QFR suggests.

  Hey there Unky!!! I've missed chatting with you this week.

  You've given your boys a wonderful opportunity. There is still hope for your wife & daughter. I hope your daughter awakens while still young.
  Even though JW's will never admit it but they lost a force for good and being among ego tripping elders they notice your absence.
  I'm glad you've crossed over to the other side. Isn't life grand!!!

  When I was at Brooklyn i use to clean the pharmacy & the suicide watch room. Seeing the psychiatric meds made me open to the idea of taking meds if needed because I felt less ashamed after seeing it on the shelves at Bethel. I was told they had 2 suicide rooms in the new infirmary at Brooklyn but I never confirmed it. If everything is wonderful at Bethel why this need or why have psychologistson staff?
  
  I had friends who had to leave their missionary assignment early due to the wife's PTSD. Her's issued due to living thru civil unrest in Central American country before becoming a JW. My husband & I encouraged the couple to make known her experience in that country while attending Gilead. She was afraid of being sent back there but they were also scared to speak up fearing it would reflect badly with the the br's if they made a request not to be sent somewhere. They ended up being assigned to a neighboring country so they thought she would be fine. They were wrong, the countries were very similar and it triggered horrific memories. She was ashamed to admit she needed help or to take meds. They only spoke up after another missionary informed them she was on anti-depressants and that there was nothing to be ashamed of as many missionaries are in need of psychiatric meds due to the stress.

  last week i attended my father's funeral in hobart.

  i was the first time i have been in a kingdom hall in several years, and many years since i had attended the hall of my childhood, but felt like it was just yesterday.

  the funeral talk was quite a departure from normal, so worth writing about.

  Again I'm sorry for your loss.

  I feel sorry for your mom.

  Did your wife & child go with you? From your writing it seems like they didn't. If so how were they treated?
