Hi All,
My wife was a Church of God member when we were married. We didn't discuss religion that I can remember. My mother seemed to like her and her two children(my step kids). She only lived a few months after I was married. My aunt used to come by and try to start a study with her and get me back to the hall.
I was talking to my wife yesterday and she said my aunt made some remarks indicating that she(my wife) was responsible for me not being a good little witness anymore. I said,"Sure, you were a worldly person." We both had a good laugh. If you knew my wife, she is about as far from a "worldly" person as they get. Her children have to watch their language when they are around her. She is a good hearted person and a lot of fun to be around, but she doesn't like dirty jokes and foul language. I'm a little more tolerant myself and her kids don't mind telling it like it is around me. She doesn't go to any church now, they are all too hypocritical for her. I think she is right about that.
I've been spilling the beans about the JWs lately to her and she kind of laughs and gives me the impression like, I knew it all along. She has never been judgemental toward me because of my former JW association. It's fun being completely free of guilt from the borg.
