BGURL 81- Welcome to the board friend ! You will find very caring people here who will give you opinions, advice, experiences many of us have gone through like you have being in the witnesses. Hang in there with your husband - it is harder for some to get over the " mind control" from being in the witnesses. So , good to see you post, welcome , Peace out, Mr. & Mrs. Flipper

Not Feeling It
hello & welcome too. I was a very long time lurker too. I have family that would be hurt by my completely distancing myself although I haven't been to meetings in years . I can relate to how your husband feels. behavior learned over a lifetime does not quickly disappear.

cruelty from those who say they love you at the Kh. Your amongst friends now.

Eyes Open
Hi bgurl81,
Welcome to the community. Sorry to hear of the feelings you endured, and all the best with the rest of your, now free, life. It's great to think of how utterly insignificant the organisation and all of its baseless opinions are. Hope your husband manages to make progress too. Go little by little - give him time. -

Your story is very typical and it shows that the JWs are nothing but a loveless and judgemental society that has entirely failed to build the christian personality they boast so much about. They focus on preaching because that is what serves the interests of the WTS since its products get sold and the profits keep coming in.
Too much control over the issues of preaching and attending meetings since anyone failing to reach their standards quickly gets stigmatised as a week or inactive brother/sister.
In such a stern environment you are damned if you don't do them and damned again if you do them. -

WELCOME bgurl81.............Come on in, the water's fine. There is recovery from what we've all been through. Just take your time and learn the facts about the wts.

Welcome!
Life inside the organization is tough - sometimes leaving the baggage behind is even harder. Share with us what you want to - when you want to. We listen pretty good here. And most of us have had to spend several years shedding the baggage also.
