  just a newbie here trying to aquaint myself.

  i can' t say how thrilled i was to find out that this site existed!

  it was actually shown to me by my sister - who by the way - with you're help- has seen the truth about the "truth" and is in the process of learning to live a normal life.

  Renewal of Wedding Vows - What is the JW position?

  by pratt1 in

  although i am inactive, my mother is a pioneer and extremely loyal to her faith.

  next year she and my father will celebrate 45 years together, and since they only had a small civil wedding, i though it would be nice to give them an anniversary party including renewal of their wedding vows.

  i mentioned this to my wife and she thought that she was told that jw's do not believe in this practice.

  How has your marriage been affected by leaving the WTS?

  it's been exactly 2 years since i stopped attending jw meetings and it's taken a toll on my marriage.

  i expected as much but i guess you can never really prepare for the pain you have to go through when one mate no longer believes in the same things they once did.

  i think my wife has honestly tried hard (as have i) to make the relationship work but i think we're both realizing that there are some really large issues before us that will never be resolved.

  I'm new, where to start...

  hi everyone, i just wanted to sorta introduce myself and ask for some help...i've been lurking here for a while, i'm a 3rd generation witness, but thankfully never got baptized as i never liked being told what to do!

  i've been fading for a good while now, ever since i moved out 7 years ago, only going to meetings and the memorial sporatically, of course with my mom and grandmother constantly pushing me to go back etc, etc, etc!

  3 years ago i married a non jw, and i have a son who will be 2 soon, ever since i had him i kept feeling so guilty that i wasn't "doing the right thing" by him, and that if jehovah was going to judge him on my "works" then we both would be fried, that is such a horrible thought as a parent... anyway, i happened to do a search about who knows what approx.
