hi new to this

cranwood

hello this is my first time on this web site.i am an inactive jw. married to a jw.didnt believe in there teachings for many years.

looked and read at your site for along time. its one of the best.iam not very good at typing or spelling.and cyber communication.

hard to have a marriage when one believes and the other one doesnt.we were both raised jws .but i changed and she didnt.

common story.too years to learn to think for myself. i also suffer from dysthymia i had all my life. i dont know if it is genetic

or my upbringing. well i am 50 years old and live in ohio. thanks for this site

Welcome cranwood. You are among friends. Don't worry about spelling, grammar - we'll figure it out. What's important is that you have a safe place here to express yourself.

Hi cranwood, and welcome to the board, great to hear from you

Sorry to hear about the depression. The potentially good news is that the JW life style seems to breed depression, so the further you distance yourself from it, the less likely you are to suffer symptoms. (I have battled it myself since my late teens, but it hasn't been nearly as difficult since my exit from JW's)

Your experience of being married to a JW is a common one. Look around, read up, you're among those that understand here.

Hi Cranwood, welcome, I'm new here myself, but I've already read so many interesting and eye opening posts by people on the board. So, come in, relax and take a look around.

Welcome to the board!I'm in the same boat as you with my wife.I no longer want to be a part of this religion but she wishes to remain in denial and call herself a jw.Anyways,hang in there,this board has been very helpful to me,I'm sure you'll enjoy it too.
