Lately I've been thinking of have a sincere talk with my husband about letting him go so that he could find that 'spiritual' person within the WBTS with whom to climb their 'corporate ladder' and be happily ever after in JW-land.

There you have it. That's what I've been toying with in my mind for the past couple of days.

DY - I'll miss him terribly. I love him more than I've ever loved anyone ever.

just a little bit about myself before you answer:

i was raised a jehovah's witness by my mother, who got "the truth" by studying with inlaws who were already members.

my father had been disfellewshipped for joining the army a few years before i was born, and has nevered returned to the organization.

My marriage wouldn't survive. Although we love each other, the WBTS is what's most in common between us.

My husband came out of a tough life and the WBTS made a much better person out of him. He's said in the past that he'd go back to his old ways if he was to leave the religion.

I believe him.

i have been disfellowshipped for 7 years now, and the other day my mom says she is supposed to stop associating with me.

i know i'm df'd, but i'm family.

i am so upset by them.

Doubtfully Yours

In this last District Assembly they said it loud and clear a few times: "Stop all association with disfellowshipped and disassociated ones, even if they're family".

I wouldn't have believed it myself if I didn't hear it. I thought family was different, but apparently not anymore.

Living Alone... How Do You Do It?

as you guys may know, i don't ask too many questions on the forum, as i feel that i have a pretty good grasp on things.

but this... i am clueless on..

starting sometime next week, i will have my own apartment.

I lived alone for several periods in my life. I've never had a problem since I'm kind of a loner of sorts.

Between work and playing some sport, or joining a book club, or doing charity work of some type, my life was filled during those times in which I had to live alone.

I hope you'll do just fine when you have a place of your own.
