Hello, Crisis of conscience! It's great to have you here! I was fully (fully, fully) in and loving it until just a few months ago and I never thought all these people would bring me so much joy, teach me so much and make me laugh and cry like they do. I thought "apostates" meant something so different... Enjoy your time on board!
New Here!! And finally I can post.

70-Years-Of-Servatude
Hi Crisis, I'm also new. I also have those questions about Holy Spirit. I'm an elders son and was appointed an MS. I knew then that the spirit had nothing to do with my appointment because I was up to no good. It also had nothing to do with my disontinued use as an MS. I too lurked here for a while and learned more about the bible in a few months than in an entire lifetime as a JW.

Welcome, Crisis of Conscience. I'm an unbeliever but I post here as well.
As t how the hillbilly the holy spirit (or Holy Spirit) operates, I had the same question about the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church. How come the Holy Spirit could choose Alexander Borgia? Or, as Christopher Hitchens asks in his "god is not Great", how come the Holy Spirit appointed Pius XII as pope just when he was most instrumental for the Nazis? Did the Holy Spirit want that?
It's interesting how many of the most fervent believers end up having similar doubts about similar things.
Stick around because it will help you. Hopefully your dear wife will leave as well.
