I never was a JW, went to KH a few times as a teenager, didnt feel comfortable with the things said, alot of my associates as an adult were brought up Witnesses, but ya know, were pretty much disowned by their families as adults because they chose not to be JW's.. My husband is a d'fed JW, I knew he had been a JW, but it didn’t even cross my mind that he would go back to them..
Well, a couple of months after we were married ( around September of Last year) This guy started calling our home asking him I guess to come to the KH. I flipped out, I started not talking to him, I was very emotionally distraught over this matter, and then I went from being sad to damn mad, and I would just ignore him, because in my mind I saw this as as something that will break up my marriage (my feelings on that haven’t changed) – While searching the internet trying to find things to “change” his mind about this “religion” something great happened, I started reading the bible and just in general started to feel better as a person “myself” and how it was OK for me to feel how I felt, because I felt like I was bamboozled because as much as I love my husband, I would have thought differently about marriage if I knew he was going to become a witness again.
BUT….. Every once in a while he talks about going to KH, he asked me if I would ever go with him, I always ask why would he want that because, I will never become a witness, he definitely still believes half of their crap (we definitely celebrate holidays round here though J ), I always believed if anything or anyone claimed to be the one and only way of anything it was dangerous. But anyway, lurking on this site for the past few months has helped me understand things, feel more secure in my stance. He and I were high school sweethearts, I joined the military and we were separated for about 10 years found each other again and got married. But he became a witness when he was with a lady in the interim and you know someone who has never had a father or a positive role model or any good friends will fall victim to love bombs and he fell victim, trying to better himself for this female and it just didn’t work out that way.
Enough of my rambling..This site has really done a lot to help me understand some things; SO THANKS!!!! :) one thing I do know is that our son (I am now 9 months and 2 weeks pregnant) will NOT be going to a kingdom hall.
Sorry SO Long!!!!
