#2. My family.

I have always always always asked them questions...always. Sometimes they would answer them, and other times, their answer would be something along the lines of

"God will reveal that information at the proper time"

"Jehovah will take care of it, wait on Jehovah"

"The organization is perfect, its the people that are not perfect"

"You just have to have faith"

What crap.

#2,#3 and #4...and not all of my family just some of them, (The elders)- I did to try to find answers but they just wanted me to study with a sister the things that I already knew and had doubts about. I tried but it just reinforced the doubts

Well, the good old boy system was well in place with my hubby. He started verbalizing his doubts with his fellow elder friends. I knew something was up when they would have long discussions that didn't include us women! (I hate the good old boy network, divides marriages)
Finally he started sharing some of his "doubts" by dropping hints with me. I'm sure he was scared that I was a true believer and would never change. But he didn't know I had already had my doubts years ago and was just hanging on. I guess that's what happens when husbands never really listen to their wives and the wives are left to think on their own. (the neglected elder's wife sydrone, is what I call it) I guess that is why it was easier for me to let go of all that silliness because I didn't have a good old boy system to extract myself from.

Joy, that is just about exactly how it went for us too.

Certainly not my wife, she was the type to go straight to the elders and rat on me. Eventually she left me over adherence to the good-old-boys rules.

Not my parents, they adhered radically to the GB rules.

Not to the local elders, they were looking for reasons to impeach me – jealous over their lack of education in comparison to mine.

So, essentially I had no one to whom I could confide my doubts; I kept them private for years.

Among my doubts were concerns surrounding the blood issue. When I stumbled across LE’s site WWW.AJWRB.ORG I was elated almost to the point of ecstasy.
