hello (page 3)

Bugbear

Welcome!

I am probably much older than you, but left the borg 15 years ago. I succeded in holding all my 6 children outside the KH, but my wife is still in. She has been a hardcore witness for 40 years. All of us (my children and I) are a bit worried over her menthal health, but feel that it is better for her wake up slowly, and let her believe in all her friends. I think that she needs a "firm believe" in something, so we dont speak to her about the TTATT. Even if I understand that she "knows" what is wrong with the soc. she feels more comfortable to cling to the Watchtower. (cognitive dissonance). I think what you must do is, TAKE CARE of YOUR future. Even if you still want to live with her, you must get yourselves a job, an income and a pension. This also to secure her future. The org. will not.

Welcome fakefading!

As often observed on JWN you could one day be very pleasantly surprised by the outcome patient and simple questions and basic shared exploratory research can have.

As long as you never dump on your wife you should be fine.

There is no point in beating a blind person with a stick because they cannot (yet) see what you can...

In the mean time may you have blast and make many good friends here on JWN.

Well done for "coming out" of the Watchtower book cupboard.

Slowly, slowly catch a monkey. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, cliches but true.

Some GREAT peeps on this forum. JW Net changed my life. I hope it does the same for you and Mrs fakefading.

Love QCF x

Welcome!

We're not the apostates, the GB is.

Take your time. Quietly observe others in the congregation. Think to yourself. Take mental notes. Be patient.

Protect your position. Password protect your computer. Erase your internet history. Don't write, text or email about your realizations. Be careful.

Welcome! Fake insanity like King David, partake at the memorial! The Eldubs will be afraid of you. Well, may that's rushing things a bit...

Welcome, glad you found us and the truth about The Truth (r). Hang in there, make your plans for an eventual fade. Sometimes people think they can hold their thoughts to themselves and stay in, but then sometimes they let things slip, it's hard to keep this bottled up, so have a plan B if you get found out. It's great to be free, even if it's just mental freedom, for now.

FF, Welcome to the board. If you really know TTATT, wont you find it really difficult to live a lie, I suppose you know others that know TTATT, but won't you find it stressful keeping up the pretense?

problemaddict - good to hear about your story and that she has hope :-p
I'm in Texas!

ABible Student - thanks for the tips! I Have already tried some of those but to no avail... yet! We shall see what happens down the line. Thank you :-)

whathappened - Thank you :-) Yes I was for a while but feeling much better now thanks for the kind words

Honesty - Whoa that really sucks. Too bad I already told her TTATT and things are not going very well for us. But we shall see what happens. Thankfully we have no kids.

Bugbear - I think the same will end up happening to my wife she is in the same boat that she "needs" something like that in her life for it to make sense.

KateWild, LisaRose - Yes it is difficult and I do have a plan B. Plan B is stepping down from it all and just become a regular publisher. This will happen sometime this year. Plan C is getting divorced and leaving all of that behind. But plan B is where i'm headed, hopefully. But plan C will probably also happen if the wife continues to be a B****

Thank you all for all the kind and welcoming words and great tips and suggestions :-)
