A CO once told this story at a circuit assembly. I never quite believed it, and now knowing how many false rumors spread in the JWs it would be no suprise to me if this is fake.
The story goes that a non-JW husband didn't want his wife to joining the JWs. In frustration he finally said 'if you get baptized into the JWs, I will never talk to you again'. The wife eventually joined the JWs anyway. Sure enough the husband never did speak to her again, but they remained married.
The kicker in the story was that the last time this CO heard they where still married but he wasn't talking. How long had it been? Supposedly over 30 years.
I mean, come on! This story has to be fake. Had anybody else heard it?
Is this story a JW Myth.....

I never heard that story, but I do call BS on it. I mean, never spoke to his wife again? Yeah right. No, "Hey, what's for dinner?", or "You in the mood?", or "Yo babe, can you please throw me a roll of TP?" Nah, probably just another one of those half truth experiences the JW's are famous for telling.

El Kabong,
I think that is the same thing everybody else was thinking at the time as well. As the story was being told everybody was whispering about how impossible it seemed. -

If in doubt call it a myth. That is what I say.

Saw a similar story over on Beliefnet awhile back but the non jw left the jw wife when she got baptized. Heard that a number of times from jw's or a similar twist.

I didn't hear this story, I heard the urban legend where the man told the JW wife to gather up her possessions and get out. The wife supposedly put a blanket on the floor and told her husband to stand on it. He asked her why and she said "I'm not leaving without you...".
Supposedly, the husband was so touched they embraced and he became a JW.

This dub I know told me that a CO gave a talk at a convention; he says that a man would make deals with Satan to get him whatever: money, girls, etc.
One day he sees a girl and Satan says he can't get her for him. He asks why not, and Satan says "Because she serves a God that's more powerful than I am."
He goes over and finds out she is a dub. He starts studying, blah blah blah, they get married.
CO says, "How do I know this? I was that man."
What a bunch of bs.
