Hi, I'm a little bit nervous posting something in here.....this is the firts time.....I was just wondering what "good" or "bad" things you have to say about JW. I have been a JW all my life and my husband too. Right now I'm in the process of getting out... or fading away....I'm not attending the meetings anymore. It has not being six months yet, so I think I'm not completely inactive...My husband has been inactive for over a year now.....and when that happened the situation affected me.....the attitude of all our "friends" towards us changed.....including my sister....she still talks to me but since i don't go to the meetings I don't see her anymore. As JWs we have learned that being a JW is the best thing, we always do the right thing and everybody else is wrong....I had a lot of pressure from the KH when my husband decided no to go to the KH anymore.....they said I had to be stronger and I had to stay in the organization no matter what.....This situation affected me, bc I wanted to follow what I have learned all my life and thought it was right, but at the same time I wanted to support my husband. All this caused a lot of problems between my husband and I. At one point we couldn't even talk bc we ended fighting all the time.....which brought some other problems in our lives. I'm 100% sure that all of our problems came just bc of the way we were told to think. The only thing I wish with all my heart right now is to start all over but with the "new mind" we have and with THE WAY WE THINK, not the way others want us to think.
My husband doesn 't know that I'm posting my experience in this website, he probably wouldn't believe that i'm doing this...but I know he is going to read it one day.....I just want to Thank him for Opening my eyes!!!!! ;-)
