Thankyou for your warm welcome everyone. :)
And Oz, I will certainly take your advice. I've read several stories on here where that has happened. I will go as carefully as I can! Thanks for your wise words.

Thanks FS! I'm gradually getting to know everyone.. well as good as you can anonomously! LOL
I have to keep a very low profile and keep under the radar. It's working quite well atm. I drop my little seeds of doubt wherever I can, it's surprising how many have their doubts!

TA: it's surprising how many have their doubts!
I think lots of JWs do but they're all terrified because you can't trust anyone, their policies and doctrines isolate even married couples from discussing doubts together without being "unfaithful" and of course the consequences are terrible: get DFd and lose all your friends and family merely for being smart enough to see the WTBTS is full of it!

Hey Tornapart!
Just wondering what response you might get if you asked your husband to explain "legalism" and its exact opposite (from the heart).
If he looks it up in the wt library you will have gotten him to unknowingly read a short and powerful summary of Ray Franz' (very thick) book ISOCF!
For what its worth one might define "legalism" as "self-righteousness attained by following the supposedly 'right' rules". This is indeed "a denial of Christian faith" in "the truth of the good news" (Gal 2:5,14) which instead teaches IMPUTED righteousness received as a free gift granted by God's unmerited favour (Rom 3:24 and many more).
