    Hi OnTheWayOut,

    Excellent work in talking to your wife. Keep taking it easy, but don't let up. Here is the link to how I helped my family out of the organization. It took time, about seven months, to get them all through it, but it was worth the risk. Click here: http://freeminds.org/psych/exithelp.htm

    Keep us posted, and thanks for sharing,

    Excellant points and very logical. You handled this in a way that causes your wife to use her thinking ability. Keep on doing so in a loving manner that you displayed with your honest questions to her. And do read Amazing's story on how he used good questions to help get his family out.

    I've noticed the reference to Lev. (pour it out on the ground) has almost vanished from WT publications recently.

    They seem to have caught on to their own hypocrisy/stupidity.

    I feel for you onthewayout, tough course and tread lightly. Not easy leaving without leaving everything. My ex left and I can honestly say it didn't bother me except the divorce from the standpoint of hurting Jah, He didn't deserve to have His name dragged through the mud. My case was easier from the standpiont I didn't care if she left, nothing left there but I hope it all works out for you. Patience is a virtue,

    The words "love is patient, love is kind..." come to mind here. Your eyes have been opened yet your love for your wife has called you to be cautious and 'handle with care."

    Very wise. I am excited for you and look forward to reading about your journey out.

    you are a wonderful husband to your wife!

    Thanks. I will try to remember your words when I suffer through a meeting or assembly.
    I do plan to extremely reduce meeting attendence in 2007, but will probably accompany
    the wife to the 3 day, 2 day, and 1 day assemblies- so that I can honestly give my
    opinion on any points she tries to make with me. I am pretty sure these will be my
    last assemblies.

    Good job, but be careful, you don't want her to "shut off" to your ideas.

    Any comments on where to go
    from this point, next?

    Well, I'm no expert but I think you let this rest for awhile. Let it ruminate. I've never met either of you and yet I feel fully confident in saying that she's thinking about your answer....
