    I loved reading about this couple. I hope I too, can be so lucky. The key to having a long, happy marriage is being truthful and honest with one another. Forgive one another. Accept each others differences of belief. That is the spice of life!

    Thanks for posting such an inspiring post of so many levels.

    Its a lovely story, we should all find such joy in life and marrage. For some the jw faith is all they need or want in life and if it brings them joy I'am happy for them. This couple had a love which surpassed religion, 75 years is a lifetime in itself. So best wishes to the happy couple!

    Very happy for them, it's rare to see anyone making it to 75 yrs anymore, regardless of their religion. hg

    75 years is tremendous...and in all honesty I would agree that it would be daft to find anything negative in that story, it made my day.

    I am puzzled as to why its been posted with the request not to be negative....that request in itself indicates that the poster automatically expects us to come out with a negative comment, that in itself is negative. Explain please?

    Like just about everyone else, I read the story and loved it - it is heartwarming. But I'm a cynical old sod and I couldn't help thinking that when I posted the story some cleverdick would just try and use it to take pot-shots at elderly JW's or Watchtowerdom in general. I didn't want that to happen. Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm all for insulting the Watchtower and trying to take action against it but I felt that this thread wasn't the time or place - hence the Topic Title.

    Hat's off to Mr & Mrs Baxter!

    Good marriages, good people, and good lives come in all religions, races, and nationalities. Hopefully, one day the jw's will realize that.
