Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

Do you feel bad for all the things you did as a JW?
by rebel8 in.
i do: shunning df/da'ers and others i was told were "weak" or "bad association"telling on fellow dubs to the elderscalling the rc church and being hostile/rude while demanding they remove my name as a parishoneranything and everything i did in field service and informal witnessingintentionally having a distant relationship with my "unbelieving" dad and other relativestelling my relatives i was planning on going to bethel, which broke their hearts (of course i never went, because it was a lie--my mom made me say that sh-t)sitting during the pledge of allegiance/national anthem or during prayers when attending funerals/weddings in other churches (imo it's intentionally disrespectful--obnoxious--why make the point of being in the room and then disrupt--they should just leave the room if they can't be polite)being judgementalparticipating in the kh grapevineobeying my jw whack mother's rules and all the other jw rules, and tolerating mental abuse--i feel guilty for not displaying basic self respect.allowing my mother to continue spanking me until i was 18, again which showed lack of self-respect (lol, on my high school graduation day, she tried to punch me and i held her hands back, said, "you are never going to hit me again.
" younger sibs clapped!

I do feel bad for a lot of the same.
The worst for me is the sense of superiority I and my family displayed as loyal Jws. How we thought we were better than our "wordly" relatives. How condenscending I was towards them. Now I realize my relatives were the superior ones. They put up with all our crap and listenened and faithfully came to all the memorials and truly respected us. But I can't say the same for me.
I wish I could go back in time and undo all the damage that was caused.

Wanting to leave JWs & Spouse problems
by doinmypart inare you trying to fade or otherwise distance yourself from the org, but have a spouse that is a loyal jw?
on various posts i read about some that are staying in the org, or having a difficult time because their spouse doesn't understand the change.
i'll begin...my wife doesn't understand how i can turn my back on all the good things i've gotten from the org.

I was what your wife is today. I accused my husband for years of being an apostate and threatened to leave him if he left the org.
He tried for ten years to help me out. He didin't give up and I am so grateful because today I am mentally free from the borg.
We have not faded yet because of family. But that is our goal.
Be patient and don't give up it takes some longer than others for the rose colored glasses to come off.

I believe that the FDS works for Jehovah and it is Jehovah?s sole prerogative to endorse and identify this entity.
I struggled with this for a long time.
After much study and meditation I no longer believe that the FDS works for God.
Each person had to decide for themselves.
I enjoyed your observations and I will save them for future references.

Meanwhile, it's true I am focusing on my family - but little do they know that instead I am focusing on trying to help my wife see the falsehoods in the organization subtley, by just asking questions
NEVER give up doing this. Keep trying and trying. My hubby did the same thing for years until I finally saw it.
Hubby also has to conduct book studies. Usually if the material is too sticky he declines and pretends he is sick.
