That's SO great! I hope that you and she can connect now and grow old together.

Okay I'm no OTWO, but I think that you MUST take up a new regular hobby. At first, something that won't make her sus, like a community college class one night per week in, well who cares, welding? Home computer repairs? Google your local place now and pick a short course.
If you had your life over, what would be your top ten career preferences? Write that list down, and then pick from that some new hobbies or interests to take up. Then get into them; classes, libraries, research. Get something in your life happening besides being a leper - get into things that will get you in contact with people whose company you enjoy because you have genuine common interests. Do this for a year and see what happens. You might find something that gives you a whole new lease on life.

Yesterday my father informed me that he will shun me...
by nvrgnbk inbut only if a judicial committee tells him to.. if they say i'm inactive and let me be, he can still talk to me.. it's meaningless, because i would never meet with a jc, but he let me know where he stands.. he's dead to me.. i'm not hurting.. lost tons of respect for the man.. i told him he was brainwashed and left him without saying goodbye.. to no longer live for his approval was liberating, but this is even better.. i told him that i couldn't do that to my son.. his response?.
unconditional love is a lie.. you only get unconditional love from a dog.. sick, brainwashed, emotionally bankrupt man.. p.s.- not looking for cyber hugs.
just sharing the experience for others going through similar things and for lurkers to see what this cult does to people.. regards,.

Sorry to hear it. My mum said that to me, and she became a witness when I was two years old. I must have been one rotten little baby!
It's stuff like that that's made me no longer wish to talk to my mum. I'm sorry that it's coming from your own husband.

Wow, I can't believe I'm doing this....
by megawatt inwelp...
it's been a crazy ride for over 25 years, pretty much raised as a witness (ever since i could remember), rebelled against my parents, came back, straighten out for a little while, married within "the truth", but the last 5 to 7 years, i've been seriously questioning the changes and doctrines established by the wts.
never thought i would be looking from this side of the fence.

Welcome, commisserations and congratulations! Ideas:
Take things slowly and be kind to yourself - it's hard.
The most important thing in the world is yourself and your marriage. Protect yourselves from everything else.
Take up some new interests and hobbies (discover your talkents) to distract yourself from what is a very difficult and confusing time, and introduce you to great new friends. -

Death is a Terrible thing...
by KW13 inhas it sunk in for you people that your going to die yet?
i'm still avoiding the thought but it lurks in the back of my mind, i'm aware someday i've got to address it - like many here i didnt expect to live this far in this system, so i haven't any plan for life as of yet.. death frightens me.
i cannot sometimes watch a film with death of a character in a tragic way - there one moment with family/friends and a life and then not...i read the story about challenger the rocket that exploded and how the crew onboard that shuttle may well of been aware they were going to die.

I'm personally not impressed with the concept, but working out that it's inevitable hasn't really changed my lifestyle in the way it should have. Eg: all those things I had forever to do, well now I have around 40 years. I'm not really all that motivated about achievement yet.

As long as she won't see it as another frustrating play in a complex game that she's losing and therefore has to dig in her heels.
She's very social, obviously... have you been able to think of other things that she might be interested in taking up (with you) to get her socialising with non-witnesses? Say, a sport (eg couples badminton) or a new hobby that you can share together? Maybe a big key for her will be replacing the social life, and finding her some real friends.
As you know she'd be wary at first of making non-witness friends, but just a few months of taking up a new activity will broaden her mind a little. After a while you can introduce the idea of socialising with your new friends outside the bounds of the event, like going for drinks after the game, or inviting other couples over for dinner.
You could probably use some new hobbies yourself, I'm guessing. Get out there and try some man. We get this tiny short gasp at life; start enjoying the days.

Feeling sorry for the old time witnesses...wishing it were the "truth".
by integ init's really pretty sad.
i think of my parents, my aunt, and a lot of the old timers that have been in this thing for so long, and i can't help but feel sorry for them.
i mean, how devastating it would/will it be to find out they have been duped all along.

I feel sorry for them, but acknowledge that they're still there partly out of their own dogmatic pride and intellectual failure. Every witness must have had at least one big question about the truth that they've ignored because they just love believing what they believe, and they'll cut out of their lives in a heartbeat anybody who doesn't make them feel good about that, even their own children. I can't pity that, and wouldn't want it to be true that God will murder every man, woman and infant who doesn't agree with them, just because otherwise their life has been a waste. That, mate, was their own choice, and they didn't make it just once, they made it every day.
