    SHIT.. I get tired just typing this in. There are so many "witnesses" involved in this hamster wheel type of life it is depressing.

    I have been out since 1982.. I just wish I was not alone to enjoy my freedom...

    Thanks Tater-T.. I have been doing this for a lot of years..

    It does kind of get you down from time to time.

    My Wife has a lot of great qualities so all those that wish to chime in with divorce her and move on may back off now.

    I wasn't asking for advice I was just whining...

    Be patient.

    Your wife may get the truth about the troof one day and walk out the kingdom hall door never to return.

    Yeah it is pretty ridiculous. When they condensed the book study in with the other evening meetings for more "personal study" (I wonder how many do it?) I thought WOOHOO! I got another night off! Hallelujah!

    The circuit oversneers visit is a whole other gold plated hamster wheel though. I kinda get why a believer might want to hear his talks, but the increased activity totally stumps me. Do they think that by acting all zealous were gonna fool the guy into thinking we’re more active than we actually are? He looks at the congregation stats, he knows; that is unless the elderberries are fudging the records, then I can see why they want us there. (Ah the good old JW cover-up.)

    It must be tough... I've been out since 87... didn't deal with it , till lately when mt sister started coming to see us, she is in Hawaii and the only active one in a third Gen family...

    since being around her again it brought it to the front.. she's been shunning us My Mom inactive Dad Df'd me and youger sis DF'd 2 younger bros never baptised..

    Now she wants to visit us and acts like nothing's happen for the last 20 years... I felt uncomfortable just being around her.. I wondered if things had changed.. since her reappearance.. but from what I've read on here..it hasn't ,I have hope she may come to her senses..

    But I have empathy for those in divided houses.. I can't even imagine seeing some one you love, and feeling like they are not really with you..

    So hang in there man.. someday .. you never know ..

    My wife does...She self indoctrinates herself.. The kind of people the WT loves..

    he's been shunning us My Mom inactive Dad Df'd me and youger sis DF'd 2 younger bros never baptised..Now she wants to visit us and acts like nothing's happen for the last 20 years.

    One of the main reasons I left was their wishie washie way of dealing wih DF'ed and DA'ed

    For a brief period in the early 1970's you could associate with DF'ed relatives as long as you didn't discuss "truth"

    That changed in 1991 or 92 when the hard line shunning was reinstated..

    Keep your head up... It could change again ...and probally will...It just depends on if the WT still controls her mind.
