i always get different answers when i ask this question, or i get answers that contradict with the people givin the answer.
i ask this to various forums online and they all end up saying, when your ready and you know the conciquences.
however, that obviously doesn't work much or isn't the truth when so many little kids are getting pregnant and aids are everywhere and everything else.. so seriously.
When in doubt "don't"...listen to your inner self...you have to live with yourself. I think that is the bottom line. No matter what advise has been given.
It is good to know you are thinking about any consequences...many people do not consider it at all. There can be huge consequences if you don't cover all the bases..(including your conscience)
I can tell you I waited till I was married...because I definitly wanted to live by Bible, moral standards...but that was "my conscience"...
Listen to your conscience, inner self...that way you can always sleep good at night.

you only have to bow once
many congrats!!!
i'll start this post off by saying i love my wife, she has beautiful qualities and a sweet personality.
however i realize (and i think she does too, though she may not admit it) that since i left the org behind our goals and viewpoints are no longer unified.
as a couple we rarely fight or argue, we still have many of the same values but yet we have some issues that i know will never be fully resolved.
Wow...you have received some good advice.
I haven't been in your shoes, but my JW husband left me cause of infamous affairs. I was wife #2, now he is working on wife #3 (I know that marriage won't last long either...since he is a womanizer).
The fact that you are so able to communicate your "new feelings" to your wife says more than what meets the eye.
Somebody earlier said, finding someone that you can communicate with, even with the painful things is very difficult. Please keep that in mind with your future decision. It is not an easy thing to find a "soulmate"....
Counseling sounds great...with a nonJW counselor.
Me and my husband are both fading....so I understand some of the feelings you have...learning the truth about the truth(tm) is quite a process. He started fading long before I did...and it caused a lot of problems. I eventually had a "defining moment" and started fading too.
Going thru a divorce is very painful....I know..I became anorexic for 2 years...and felt extremely lost. I don't recommend divorce unless it is the "last straw"...
But only you know your situation best...take care.

my mom has shunned my df'd sister for 10+ years.
my brothers and i are not baptised and she will have a relationship with us even though its very strained.
we have gotten together a few times over the years and had a meal together that mom cooked.
I am so sorry you are having such a "family conflict"...
I am glad that your sister's husband actually had the guts to tell you how your sister feels....He cares a lot for her.
True love rules over "conditional love"...Good for you for showing true love to your sister.

so my daughter (14 y/o and i will call her r) finds out some girl at school is a jw.
so r approaches her and tells her that she "used to be a witness".
the girl was very friendly and told r about the convention this past weekend.
Purza, I totally understand your "fear factor"...as I am fading.
I had some recent family attack me....I am still upset over it.
For some reason I get very upset at people when they do this to me, they think they have the right to dissect my "spirituality". Maybe, it is because it is the "reverse of being an active JW"...you know the oppression we went thru to be a "good one"...
I think this process takes time...and just learn the next time someone asks you a question...You don't have to answer it...Set your boundaries!!!

im borrowing it from the library and am almost half way through.
at times i have to put it down because it makes me so furious.
i had a difficult time getting into it at first because its definitely not an uplifting book.
It is definitely a "must read".
I grew up as a JW...but I never knew the "real history" of the WTBS....never been to Bethel...This book was very enlightening!
I appreciated the frankness of the book and it was written without anger.
