This is it. I have to get active. My wife told me we have hospitality this weekend and i know the JW slingshot mechanism will engage after attendance. So i have to get ready.
my wife is still very much in. She likes dancing, drinking (but not binging of course), she doesnt enjoy gossip, and she hates seeing bad things happen to people. She cares so much about people and what they think, but still holds preconcieved WT ideals as she was a born in. We have already agreed that when our kids have friends in school not all of them would be JW. That the girls would experience sports and prom and dances.
Her mother was strict, no prom, hand-me-downs, runt of the litter of 2 girls type deal.
My wife and i also so watch movies with some magic in them and violence, rude humor, and she watches trashy reality shows like abbys dance and bad girls club lol. She likes the matrix, the village, equilibrium, lord of the rings, etc. We read books that are similar...little magic because shes on the fence about what shes allowed to like/not like.
she thinks ray franz is an apostate, but if i pushed the matter she MIgHT read crisis.
She hates when others gossip and speak ill of the elders, hates hypocrisy.
One wonderfu. And sometimes frustrating quality that she has is she is blunt, to the point, and easily offended when challenged...sorry those are more than one quality. Shes damn good at arguments and remembers many detwils about everything.
So naturally shes a gifted conversation stopper, hence why i did so poorly the first time i expressd doubts.
so there you have it.
Hassanians and 1984-ians, psychologists please help me work on stopping conversation stoppers with her. I need a place to start.

ps i know ive started similar threads and i apologize if im being redundant but i think if you know more about her the. It may help me to get your take on what topic to start with. Im already taking hassans advice and playing on her real personality, not the cult one.
