Did having kids make your decision to leave easier or harder?
by Comatose ini was thinking about a few things confusedandalone said the other day.
i mirrored his thinking identically.
for me it was having kids that made my decision to leave an easier one.. if i had no children, i might still be in and just going through the motions.

I took my son to a few meetings when he was real young, so stressful just getting the both us ready and finding 'appropriate' clothes for him to wear. I was like screw this. My younger son hasn't even been in a KH. So yes it was an easy decision, from the small reasons (getting ready for meetings) to the big ones (holidays, blood issue). It's really hard on kids being in school as it is, and when they stand out from the crowd and are different, it just makes it that much harder. I just want them to enjoy being kids and not have to worry about Jehovah being mad if they color a holiday picture.
Just curious Gypsy Sam, did anyone say anything to your daughter about her pantsuit? I remember one time I was going to go to the afternoon session of the DC with my parents, when I met them at a resteraunt with nice slacks and shirt, my mom flipped saying I should know better than to go dressed like that (and mind you I was 30 yrs old lol). So needless to say, I left after lunch and went home.

Its so hard, seeing my dad go through the same right now too. In his 70's long time witness. Pretty much told me that he's getting too old/tired to understand new teachings, too tired for meetings anymore. Facing his mortality, and it's heartbreaking for me to watch. This thread has me in tears.
Much love and peace to you and your father Gorby

Do you detect an underlying sadness ?
by Phizzy inwhenever i talk to jw's, and even in some of the jw official videos, i detect a definite vibe of sadness coming off these people.. i am very sensitive to "atmospheres" and to peoples emotional state, you wouldn't think so, because more often than not i do not react to what i detect, i just let people get on with it.. but i do get this feeling that they are sad, probably because very, very, very deep down they realise that it is all false, maybe ?.

I was teary eyed after talking to my dad on the phone last night, he's 75 and has been a witness for almost 40 years. The subject came up and I asked him if he thought the new system would be here by now. He mentioned the changes lately, including the generation change from a few yrs ago. Asked him how he felt about the changes and he just said he didn't really know, that they were still studying them in the WT. Basically said he was getting too old/tired to grasp new big changes and also how it's getting hard for him and my mom to make the meetings, hard getting dressed in a suit when you're just so tired and not feeling well. I just let him talk, I never say anything negative about the society or the witnesses. I would never take his hope away, it seems the society is doing a good enough job of that, even if they realize it or not. The whole thing is just so sad indeed.

Grammy's memorial service...
by diana netherton inwell, i guess i can't be shocked but it's been a while since i've been to a jw service.
i honestly felt like i was sitting through an amway sales pitch with my grandmother's name inserted every once in a while.
it's not personal at all.

Sorry about your grammy. You know it must be bad when even witnesses notice it and say they are going to write their own funeral talk. That's what happened recently after a memorial talk for a young witness. Some people noticed how impersonal it was. One thing they have missing from the witness funerals are music. I've been to a few non witness ones where their favorite music was played and it made it a lot more personal.

My mom said recently that they are printing bibles and literature in over 1,000 languages. That can't be right?
