LOL, you tell it Ro
Women not only know how to mind their P's & Q's
They hold all the power in their " P's " which give them the Priviledge and the Power
Even the strongest of men can be brought to his knee wit a powerful " P "

Very nice to have you here Julia ! Welcome to freedom of mind ! Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care, you are among friends
Welcome Julia Orwell, Is your husband a "Spiritually Strong" (blindly follows the WTBTS) JW? Was your husband born into the WTBTS and/or are most of his friends and family JWs? Your biggest challenge may be to help your husband to meet new non-JW friends so that both of you will have friends after you (and hopefully both of you together) fade.
DITTO what jgnat wrote about become familar with Steve Hassan's methods. Steve Hassan wrote "Combatting Cult Mind Control", "Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves", and (his latest book) "Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs"). I was amazed how well Steve Hassan can describe how JWs behave and his methods for helping people to think again for themselves. Steve Hassan was a Moonie and never a JW.
Best of wishes for you and your husband successfully fading from the WTBTS together and communicating with each other lovingly and openly. Be gentle and go slow with your husband. Both of you will face new challenges as you leave the WTBTS. LittleMac wrote about the challenges he faced with his wife and him growing apart after leaving the WTBTS in his thread We're both out 2 years now- crossroads.
Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
Robert
Hi Julia, I joined a couple of weeks ago and my entire outlook on life has changed,complete strangers so welcoming and patient. I have already made a facebook friend who is realy understanding and supportive,now our not alone anymore. Now you can talk and talk till you get it all out. Welcome.
Hi Julia and welcome!
You've already gotten some great advice. I'd add that YOU should read Hassan's Releasing the Bonds. But since it does mention JWs you probably won't get your hubby to read it right away.
The biggest tool is to point out the hypocrisy in other religions and let him draw his own conclusions as he sees the hopefully obvious parallels.
In the meantime, check out these threads for more ideas:
That's plenty of homework for now.
Please keep us posted on your progress!

Welcome to JWN! Read Hassan's books to help yur husband out of the cult.
Welcome. Since out of love for your husband you continue to come to the KH, be care about going to the nice Presbyterian church up the road. It will result in you being df. That may be hard to take since you want to support your husband. It is so hard to be caught in your situation of knowing the "truth" about the WTS and still clinging to it because of someone else.
Welcome, Julia!
If there's ever anything you'd like to talk over via PM, feel free.
Hi Julia and welcome!!
I am a newbie as well and like you a long time lurker. This is a great place and I am sure you will be able to gleam ideas on how to wake your husband up. Patience is the key!!
