Welcome Contra,
You say you talk about family when you respond.
Do your kids and spouse miss meetings too with you?
Welcome to the board.....I hope you keep your loved ones as friends when you leave
Take care

i have been lurking on the site for a few months and thought it about time i plucked up the courage to step out of the shadows and say hello.. i am in the process of fading after realizing all is not right with the organization i had trusted implicitly for over 40 years.
there have always been 'truths' i have struggled to accept entirely, even as a child, but was confident that trusting in jehovah, building my faith and remaining patient would be enough to settle any nagging doubts that remained, so i pushed any inconsistencies to the back of my mind and concentrated on being the best witness that i could be.. over the last few years, however, i have been preoccupied with a number of crises in my family and stepping back slightly from 'theocratic' activity has allowed me to re evaluate a number of concerns and research sources other than the sanitized wt publications.. my eyes are now wide open - i found things which have appalled me and left me feeling extremely let down and disappointed by people i had really trusted.. i tried gently raising a few subjects with my mum (who was baptized early '70s and still remains a staunch wt supporter) but she will hear no criticism of the organization.
i understand this because the best part of her life has been invested in the religion and to acknowledge it may have got things wrong would be to recognize the last 40 years have been a vain waste.

my son is nearing completion of his 3-1/2 year chemo journey.
i have an appointment with his primary oncologist at the end of next month as an end of treatment exit meeting.
she and her team are leads at this particular hospital.
Good idea. Hope your son is better now and fully in remission.

what do you think of the phrase " you don't have all the facts, and i am not in a position to tell you what i know"?.
has this phrase ever been used with you?
i have my own opinions at present but i don't want to express them yet as they are subject to change.. kate xx.
Thanks everyone for you're comments. I have come to the conclusion that I don't like it used with me and so I won't use it with others unless they don't deserve all the facts. But I am an open kind of person and I want others to treat me with openness.
I am going with exactly what SBF it saying on the matter. If someone doesn't want to give me all the facts then their argument is weak and I won't trust anything else they say on the matter.

Lostandfound.................Very good answer. I can see your point if we use it we are telling others to piss off and if others use it with us they are telling us to piss off. I like your point
