Please, whatever you do, don't have children with this guy. You think things are tough now, but having kids would be a nightmare with the blood, child molestation, education, and holiday issues.

I am a non-JW married to an ex-JW. Too late for me to tell you "RUN!", so i will say: Don't get pregnant!!!!! There may be few things more painful than losing your babies to a religious cult. I hope you realize the seriousness of this situation by now. You can always walk away, while you are still young-- but his parental rights would never allow your babies to be free from guilt, fear and mental abuse by any truck driver with an 'elder' badge.

Get informed. Ask questions. Make a plan. Follow it or follow the Watch Tower.

Welcome Juci

what about when an "evil apostate"or a non Witness experience a blessing? Is Jehovah blessing them as well?

No, they are helped by Satan to blind them and keep them in his system. See, the JWs have answer to anything. An elder said once that everyone who leaves Jehovah (weasel words, many don't leave God, but a man made organization) experiences things going better (gee, isn't that funny?) and that is because Satan is smoothing their way, but in the end they will be worse than they were when in the org. As you said, things just happen, it's inevitable that something bad happens to the one who exited, and the JWs are at the corner ready to jump on him again.

Hello and welcome. I am new here myself. So sorry about the situation you are in. My husband is a witness so I know where you are coming from, although my situation is not quite the same as I was once a witness too. I stopped going to meetings a few months ago and my husband is still in. You have found a good place to come. There is a wealth of advice here and lots of support.

take care

I'm sorry to say, you have probably lost your husband. Whoever he was will have been replaced by a "cult personality", you either need to get him to stop and get the old him back, or accept he is gone and move on. Sorry I'm not being harsh, just realistic.

Can you barter with him a bit? Offer to study 1 hour of his beliefs with an open mind and you show him 1 hour of your own CAREFULLY PREPARED anti-WT material. I put that in caps because if not then it works the other way, I have seen my partner talk to her dad who has doubts, but she doesn't know the doctrines well and it all comes across very vague and actually makes him more pro-WT. Just pick something, like 607 and then show with the list of kings in their own literature how that makes no sense. Keep things very short, don't get sidetracked or argue, don't make anything personal or make any ad hominem comments - you might have a chance.

Hi Welcome to the forum. Has he read Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz? That is real eye opener to active dubs if they read it with an open mind.

Welcome to the forum. I am still in, formerly. Stopped attending meetings one and a half year ago. I have to be very silent or I will be disfellowshipped. For instance; I got the message that if I talk about 1975, I will be disfellowshipped. My children are 'hostages' in the org. I am not able to reach their mind yet. But I still hope.
