hi ptre
thank you for your reply, you are open-minded and I was probably too strong with my words I'm sorry. I stand by the thought that going to a meeting or two might help you understand her better if her intent is to go back, take care

i'm afraid i can't do that reniaa because what i do know of the 'jw way' i don't agree with and i know i wouldn't be able to keep my thoughts to myself. someone has suggested that god is the one to judge all but unfortunately thats not the case with jw's it's the elders that do the judging and how arrogant of the watchtower to suggest that god chooses to speak through them, these are just two things i wouldn't be able to keep quiet about.

You know more than you think pt.....And that whole, "go to a meeting, we welcome you or anyone else, it might help you understand her better"........is NOT their motive. They have one motive only, to get more members and to get you to conform to them. It wont matter if you go in there for the sake of your wife, they will feel like they have the authority over you and her, they will not allow you an 'opinion' of what you think of it, you will always be wrong. Just saying "oh even is she's df'd she's welcome here, it's open to the public", etc.......that IS arrogant! You need to stay far away from the jw stuff. And it would be good if you two sat down together and really talked about this, I mean in detail about where she's been with this religion, where she is now, and where she wants to end up. You need to seriously know these things before you guys get married. Just my opinion.........wf

hi ptre
They won't mind you confronting them peacibly. They consider the bible God's words so you might get a lot of scriptures shown to you. As long as you don't deliberately disrupt their church/meeting service your questions will be answered, usually before or after you can choose to have a word with an elder or brother with your questions. Which I think is the practise of most religions. I'm off out now have a good day'

hey ptrehearn152
I am currently a Jehovahs Witness, posting here with no knowledge from my elders. if they find out I will be disfellowshipped.
you may ask, why Dacheech doesn't just leave if not happy? well, I got a couple of kids and wife has expressed that she will divorce me if I leave the religion.
I was asked to be elder at one time, but refused because I knew all their dirty secrets, a while later I resigned my ministerial servant position *like a deacon". the only thing I can do is try to cuise by without scars

pt...I am late arriving here...but here's my input...anyone is allowed at a public JW event (meeting/assembly/convention/memorial) so long as they conduct themselves well. A dfed person who tries to engage others in conversation would be asked to leave. From how you descrbie your wife this probably would not happen.
I warn you her mind is still controlled by the JW mindset. Although you may not realize this, it is a dangerous and destrctive cult that has ripped apart many families. I am married to one and while my situation is not as bad as many, it is VERY difficult. My suggestion to you is to examine the history of the organization so far as their claims to be God's sole channel of communication to man...their end time predictions and false prophecies, their dangerous teachings (Previously no vaccinations, no organ transplants...now no blood)....If you want to talk at all pls send me a pm.

DaCheech
reniaa, you better get your story straight, because every thread you put your 2cents in, I'm gonna tell everybody the truth about your version of the truth.
since you like lying, what does that tell about the other JW's?

If she's living with you without being married, she doesn't have a chance at being reinstated. She can attend the assembly and the meetings, but she will be shunned by all who know her. If her sons are baptized and inactive, they could be df'd for a number of things that may seem normal to you for young people to do. Then, once reinstated, she'll be required to shun them at risk of being df'd again. If I were you, I would try to get her out of the Watchtower mindset before you marry her. Not doing so will only bring you heartache. This is a dangerous, destructive cult.
