Hang in there annalice. I may be wrong but if your husband only goes to the Memorial and conventions I think it is very possible that he has some doubts himself. Hopefully he will wake up.
friends? HA!

What friends would those be the ones that haven't called me in two years? MY number is still the same , i live in the same place. I'm not disfellowshipped i just don't go , and i got tired of calling them and them saying "oh yeah we'll have to get together sometime, but now isn't a good time".
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Once I stopped regularly attending meetings, I soon found out who my real friends were. And since I stopped altogether, forget it! Haven't heard from any of my "friends" in over 2 years, yet they have the audacity to smile and ask how I've been if they bump into me at the shops. Um hello, I still live at the same place, I still have the same phone number.
I'm not angry, but I am glad that I got the chance to see what real JW friendships was all about.
And they expect me to want to live forever with these people???

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's too horrible to contemplate.
As I said to someone (a relative, I think), why would I want to live forever with people who've been taught to hate their fellowman? No thanks. There's a much better way.
Cheers, Ozzie

HI Annalise,
Welcome!
I understand what you're going through. I hate it when people pretend they are "friends" only when they happen to bump into me in the street and its all "oh I have missed you". Thats absolute BS since the person never bothers to phone or even speak to you unless they have to.
It hurts. I have a friend who is a really good friend who is JW. She still meets me for lunch etc. but she can't socialise with me at any other time because of her JW husband and her standing in the cong. She meets me when hubbie is at work you see. The thing is, I dont blame her because ALL of her family are JWs and they would cut her off for sure if she left. I wish she would leave, but I understand where she's coming from.
Its so sad how they are so unloving and yet walk around saying that they're the only ones that God approves of.
