Welcome to the club easyreader!
How hard-core JW is your wife?
Does she REALLY buy into EVERYTHING the WT prints?
Just curious.

Great story. I'm in that little boat behind you. I openly don't attend meetings and challenge several beliefs but I have not announced (renounced?) my lack of faith in the WTS/GB. I'm a very non-spiritual person. Literally...

Dear Easy,
Thanks for posting your story. It can't be easy pretending. I could never do it. I really admire
those who are able to stay for their family.
There is a site called "My 6-Year Journey -- Out of the Watchtower by Jay Walter:

There is a part on this page that deals with his family. I thought it might give you some ideas.

Welcome! You're in good company.

Open mind, every word that the WBTS prints is gold in her hands. She was raised from the age of two years old in the "truth" and it is the only thing she has ever known. She has several siblings but only one other sibling is a Witness. The others have had their lives turn to crap: prison time, alcoholism, unwanted pregnancies, and divorce. These things are clear evidences to her that the WBTS is correct and those who fall away from it are doomed to a life of pain and suffering. Since she and her sister are doing well in life to some extent without serious problems like that, this is proof that they have Jehovah's blessing. Her biggest fear is that the children will leave the truth and end up like her non-Witness siblings.
