    My wife referred to JWs as The Cult.

    Just WOW!

    Go back and read some of my early posts where I was concerned what she would think about TTATT.

    We went to the Memorial (for family & friends) but do little else anymore. We're officially "weak & inactive". Evidently through the years she has had some feelings both ways. Went along with some of it. Ignored some of it. But was great in the role as the perfect Elder's wife. We were the perfect family and I climbed the corporate ladder fast and far.

    Of course all the recent changes have been real eye openers for her (as with anyone who could take a critical look at things being said and done.) But the reference to "The Cult" bruised my jaw as it fell to the floor.

    Ya gotta love it.

    Those of you who are attempting to awaken your spouse and feel hopeless: Never say never!

    Congrats! I think I'm making some progress with my wife too. We went to the assembly a week or so ago (mainly for appearance with friends and family) but we haven't been to a regular meeting together in a few months at our hall. We visited some friends a few weeks ago at their hall, though. Take this Sunday for instance...we both slept in, never discussed the meeting, and woke up to an easy morning followed by some spring cleaning. It's still a roller coaster of emotions for me, especially when you begin to doubt changing a life you've led for 30 years, but you guys help me keep my sanity.
