OMG... *sigh* You know, my parents are one of those "I waited on Jehovah and my mate came into da Troof" stories. My father studied when I was very little and then didn't want to hear it. It was only when I was an adult and it was just him and mom in the house that he decided to start studying. My mom is now the "shining example" of waiting on Jehoober and people tell new ones with unbelieving spouses aaaaaall about their "encouraging story".
Honestly? My theory is that my dad finally succumbed to over 25 years of constant brainwashing...coupled with the fact that now it was just them alone and she was always GONE, either auxiliary pious-sneering or at meetings or whatnot. I think it was just a way for him to be closer to her at first. And now he's completely in. And I've lost my REAL dad. It's one thing to be raised in it and to wake up and know that the one who raised you in it will stay asleep. It's another thing entirely to watch the father you love slowly "die" and be replaced by the cult personality. My dad has never been judgmental and was always a "live and let live" person. He'd joke about certain things, but it was never anything he wouldn't say jokingly to someone's face. Now he judges everyone...those in "False Religion and Christendom", the "Homos", etc. Hell, he even judges his old self! I knew my dad, but he told me with tears in his eyes that he was a bad person. It sickens me, to be honest.
And it's shit like the above that was posted in a useless rag that perpetuates the idea that if you just stay faithful you can change your mate's mind. In other words, keep at them, keep trying to preach to them, keep shoving our litteratrash down their gullets and EVENTUALLY they will cave in and join us! (or they'll leave your ass...in which case, you're free to re-marry your REAL husband/wife that Jehoober will give you!). And if neither of these things happen, they'll be eliminated with a ball of sulpher at Army-geddon, and then you'll get a PERFECT spouse! Aren't Jehoober's provisions wonderful? How happifying!!!
