has anyone here gone nuclear on their spouse and, all of a sudden, came out in the open as a jw opposer?.
by this i mean, sitting them down and saying: i no longer want to be a jw anymore, do not want to go to meetings or preaching anymore!
and, what has happened in the relationship after that?.
Husband has expressed to me that he would choose Jehovah over me, in a fit of rage of course. I love him and our marriage is great in every way, except for me having to fake the faith thing for many years now. He is hardcore, so it does not look good for me. However, this faking stuff is weighing heavier as time passes by.

I am afraid of the consequences, but it is what I want to do so badly.

first let me tell you about george (his real name) the special pioneer.
not that good looking...a bit goofy, he had spiritual sisters literally ask him to date and flutter eyelids because of his positon.
he always made excuses about why sisters were "not his type"...had a bedroom full of pics of him hugging other brothers with a content strange look on his face....like this is my girlfriend look!
I never answer the phone or the door on the same day I decide not to go to a meeting. I have gone as far as saying to start worrying about me if I miss three meetings in a row, not just one meeting.

just on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.
you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.
up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.
This is one of the reasons I just go along to get along and ruffle no feathers with some hard core ones within my family. They will erase me for sure, my husband being one of them.
It is an awful deceitful existence at times, but I concentrate on the positive and plow along.

similarly, we cannotexpect that the future interruption inthe great tribulation will result in aninflux of new believers.
rather, it willbe an opportunity for all true believersto prove their love for jehovah andgive their support to christs brothers.. (par.

What the leaders see is many slipping away, so they revert back to the great power of FEAR.
It will not work this time as information is so readily available these high tech days.

Compare this article with any similar from the early 80s and the same 'urgent' language is used.
Fear mongering at its best!
Keep calm and carry on with your life as normal. Nothing of that crazy destructive sort will happen.
It's a carrot, just a nice looking carrot!

there were so many things wrong with this weeks watchtower, its hard to pick one, but one that really bothered me was this watchtower business and their delivery.
i have never seen them quite have to explain something away like this in a study article like this before.
shows me they are battling people feeling confused.
All this crap will change the moment a new admin or team of writers comes along. Just give it a bit more time!

the royal commission published it's redress report today.
it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.
all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.
Love it! This might trigger policy changes.
Keep the spotlight on them to cause necessary changes.

fortunately there will still be people waking up to the scam.. .
Religion is part of the human experience. It will always be with us; a vast variety of it for our preference.
Reason why I am not really bitter about any one religious org or idea. They all fail in one way or another and yet they all shall continue to exist and thrive for as long as humanity exists.
