    Well, this is a new development.

    She broached the subject of TTATT tonight. Said I was right about the flood. That it wasn't rational to take that story literally.

    She also said that she is losing faith in JW teaching of Armageddon. That only JWs surviving doesn't jive with a loving God.

    She mentioned how Mormon's belief in getting their own planet wasn't any more far fetched than our belief in a future Paradise earth. "Except our belief is based on the Bible, but who's to say that the Bible is any different than The Book of Mormon as a credible source of hope?"

    So, I laid it out for her about the Blood doctrine flip flop and told her I felt like I was becoming atheist because I was having a hard time separating my belief in God from my belief in JW doctrine.

    She said she was having a hard time with that too.

    I told her we would figure things out together and that we don't have to make a decision now. It's okay to chill and let things digest.

    I finally have a progressive, although unwitting, study!

    I should add that she brought up the Armageddon issue and the Paradise issue all on her own. These were not things we previously discussed!

    Do you have a copy of the book Crisis of Conscience that she can read?

    I do, but she's not completely ready for it. She just mentioned last week that she respects my search for truth but "please don't go on apostate websites."

    She still has that boogeyman fear of apostates even though she is now technically one herself.

    I am so pleased to hear another JW is breaking free! Happy for you, too!

    Great. This reminds me that there is hope for more to wake up. I understand her boogeyman fear of apostates. That's something that is ingrained into the psyche of JWs. It's almost, to them, as if apostates possessive magic and can cast spells. I think, considering that she's come this far, that she will gradually feel OK about examining apostate stuff.

    Such great news! It's only a matter of time for you. Is always great to see another marriage beating this cult. It gives me hope that I'll be able to keep mine together. Well done you magnificent bastard!
