Minimus,
I am glad to hear of your wifes diplomatic efforts at handling the enquiring minds; if they were friends, I am sure they all had good intentions. But be prepared for it to come back at you by way of visiting elders who "heard" differently, and want to visit with you to aid you spiritually. You were one of them and know how they think. You know the drill. They will just not let you go peacefully, or on your terms.
Best of luck with the situation

Good response, Mrs Min. Nothing like knowing your friends weak spots. It is hard to be holy where your hypocrisies are showing.
Guest 77, I am saving this one if I have a similar encounter.
He stopped and asked why she no longer attends meetings, her answer was, I no longer trust you!Blondie
Good for you Mins wife!!!!! See !they say they miss the Minus family--- They must all respect you.! So wait till the DA comes see how quick they loose respect...I was a WONDERFUL sister they used to say.....NOW!!!! Well there are many responses 1. I went off my head when my hubby died...2. I began to rush ahead of the organization & Jehovah ( Jah was mention AFTER the Borg you notice)
3. I was entertaining men....Lots of them !!!4. I thought I knew more than most...5 .I am a discontent..6. Or believe it or not I am working for the Devil...
Good luck !!!! ..
Good for your wife for keeping her cool and speaking honestly to her friends!! I sincerely hope there are no negative consequences from it.
Hey Minimus,
Sounds like your wife has got her mind and heart all wrapped around the truth of the matter and the Jehovah's witness stuff.
It takes a while to come to terms with the total scam of the whole thing.. sometimes it sort of leaves you feeling busted for awhile.
Sounds like your wife is ready to accept in both her mind and heart anything the J.W.'s have to throw at her, whether that be disassociation or disfellowshipping...or not.
It feels really nice when you get at the point where it doesn't really matter what any of the J.W. friend thinks anymore... what counts is what your wife thinks about herself and how she views them. She doesn't sound like the victim in this stuff.. and maybe she never ever felt that way.
all the best

The key to anyone getting out is to read for yourself the truth about the "truth" and to start new friends or retrieve the old relationships so that you won't feel alone.
Thanks for sharing this with us Min. I agree with Franklin, your days are numbered. Maverick
I, too, remember, how reluctant Mrs. Min was to consider the untruthfulness of the "truth" not too long ago. so congratulations and much happiness to both of you!
I read these comments to my wife while she was driving in her car and she seemed very pleased that you folks chimed in. She took your words to heart. Thank you.
Well good for your wife MIN -- I just wish mine was the same --leaving the WT would then be a no-brainer
