Thanks for the positive feedback ... although I am not sure (BU2B) how much longer our marriage will last ... however, most of my children have been influenced positively by my leaving and trying to educate them. It has been tough, especially the first year or so, but once I was assured by my wife that she had absolutely no intention of considering looking critically into the organization, I decided I had to be calm (with the encouragement of JWN folks like you), do the best I could by example, encourage my children to think and reason ... it has paid off, but it has only made the division in my marriage much wider. It's at the point where I guess we are the source of each other's misery with only one of us willing to make compromises ... but that's the way of a true JW, which I was at one time too, so I get it, there are no compromises.
Some people called me Santa this weekend ... my wife calls me Satan
