when 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.
@oub- im only going with first hand experiances in my unofficial noncertified poll, so i will count you as a husband first
So after ob and OEJ, we have:
husband - 3
wife - 1
wife mentally out first but husband spoke out first - 1
husband mentally out first but wife spoke out first - 0

@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
[i have some posting problems from my computerreply portion gets hung, hence giving it here].
when i posted the cancer healingusing emotions, it is given as just a link with no recommendation, nor with any comments from me.
it is not presented as a sure cure for the cancer-patient.
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

i've been actively pursuing a career change for quite a few years.
i've applied for nursing programs at several local public colleges.
the competition is high for this limited access program.
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!

An interesting question...... Along with it should be "why"? I do know its not always the husband though.. Blondie has mentioned it was she who awoke first, and im sure i have read others like it but id love to see an informal poll. I tend to think husbands may see things as elders that make them think and awaken but thats my personal bias speaking. Wifes may be subject to unjust treatment and thus awaken... They may also not be as invested as a male who has congregation responsiblities.
My rational mind says its likely subjective to the individuals in the couple but again i would love to see the informal poll results.....
in my case its obviously me who awoke first and there is little chance if any of the person im obligated too legally ever awaking

i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.
one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.
i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.
hello there.
this is my first thread here.i was wondering if anybody here could help me with a question that i have.my question is this: is it always applied the rule of the "two witnesses" in cases of apostasy?
i'll put an example:if a jw is working with another jw and one of them is continuously talking about teachings contrary to the bible truth as taught by jehovah's witnesses, would the testimony of the other jw be enough to form a judicial committee?thanks!
Really good question and the answer.... Is yes technically speaking the two witness rule ALWAYS applies for the formation of a judicial committee.
However The aligation alone would likely lead to a shepherding call where the issue would be brought up. For many the idea of lying and expressing full confidance in the governing body would be distastefull once they awoken and thus the mere aligation would lead to a committee indirectly.
but the short answer is no you would not directly emd up before a JC for things said one on one

Carbon dating is flawed!
where science and the bible conflict we must accept the bible as gods word!
scientists lie and commit academic fraud to make a name for themselves all the time!
