Yep, i will simply echo what others have already said: the confessor gets a JC, the lier gets off. Had it happen our hall. We firmly believed the confessor, didnt douch the lier, trusted the desert god to deal with the person.

Who leaves first, the husband or wife?
by snugglebunny inwhen it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.

How very interesting thats its almost dead even! Gender dosent seem to play role, at least with the informal statistics gathered so far :) thats why this is interesting to me. We may have a suspicion or a gut feeling but looking at the hard data can really shake those and give valuable insight amd i absolutly LOVE this kind of data!
as an aside on the 'women are more emotional' debate.... I have seen anecdotal evidance both for and against that.... My own dear mother can be the most logical rational ruthless person i know (i dont mean that derogatoraly at all nor do i mean to suggest she dosent express love) wheras my father can be rather impulsive and emotional at times. Conversly i know my share of women who fit the protypical emotional woman stereotype. Confirmation bias can really skew our views on these things and i realized long ago that trying to put someone in a catagory for any reason, be it gender race ethnicity etc etc is to sell them and me short. I let people show who they are via word and deed. Its all i ask for myself, its only fair to give them the same chance.

@Dwainbowman, i suspect you didnt read the OP as your reply dosent address the type of leaving being discussed
@gio- lol hard call and not my OP anyway.
for my unofficial count im going to score it as a "wife left first, husband mentioned it first"
husband - 1
wife - 1
wife mentally out first but husband spoke out first - 1
husband mentally out first but wife spoke out first - 0

Completly unacceptable to link that quackery with the thread entittled "cancer healing" and then suggest you didnt intend to promote it as a cancer healing treatment. Your disingenuous nature is troubling. I also find it unsavoury that you keep attempting to tie in the bible with your questionable comments, as if the bible holds some ultimate authority on this forum. I am sending the sites owner, simon a pm and asking him To take a look this when he logs on today.
for easy referance here is the OP

Incredible man! Happy for you of course, but your experiance is so different than many others. You already had two degrees where as so many didnt pursure any because of theocracy. You already demonstrated a willingness to invest and i bet that played a role in being accepted into the program :)
i wish you all the best and im sure you make a success of it!
