The Fourth of July, and Letting Go

I can relate to this. I remember doing the fade and yet going to witness gatherings watching people get drunk and go way overboard in the flirting department with people that weren't their mates and yet I was the EVIL APOSTATE that turned out to be shunned. Witnesses have the mentality that as long as they have "the label" of being an active witness they can push limits of the "no-no's" and it's okay. As soon as you want to shake the label of faithful witness you are EEEVVILLL!!

Serendipity, that is a very good point and I thank you for that observation. Yes, she is a far more relaxed and understanding person than I have any right to be married to. I think that we will still have a happy marriage even when (eventually, inevitably) we are living in a "religiously divided" household. And she is also open to discussion, and will hear me out about things. I have a great deal of hope.
