My wife walked in while I was on this site. She saw the header Jehovah’s Witness. Net and exclaimed “what are you doing, you are going to be brainwashed”. It gave quite the chuckle. You see my wife has never been a witness and is opposed their belief due to the child abuse and shunning that she is aware of. So why was she opposed to me being on this sight you ask? My lovely wife thought that this was pro witness sight. She was getting nervous thinking that I would even consider going back to the cult. I had to explain what this sight was all about. She was more than relieved afterwards.

Too Opinionated
That's pretty good! On the other hand, I can remember when I first found this site. I would read it in the middle of the night, say 3:00 a.m., with my heart pounding and constantly looking over my shoulder at the door expecting to see elders burst in. I was actually afraid. Talk about brainwashing!

My sister in law saw me on this site once and thought the same thing ;) She freaked out a little, too.

Recovering, I bet the majority of people reading on this site have one ear posted to listen for approaching footsteps all the time. It is mental multi-tasking.

When I read your header, I was going to say that I get nervous about my wife being at JW Conventions.
Power to ya.

Yeah, even though my wife is okay with my fade, she still feels uncomfortable with me being on this site unfortunately.

I am glad you have been on here for awhile. I hope that more inquiring JWs waunder to this site even accidentally and pick up a point or two to 'jump start' their personal thinking ability.

Perhaps you should have a heart-to-heart with her about the chances of you going back.
I'd say less than nil for me... LOL.
You can imagine the terror that it can bring up, though. Suddenly you start going back to meetings, and they are screwed. It's happened to a lot of people here. Awful!
