AFIN I love my wife and for that reason there is never a decision of choose the religion or me. I am not scared of what I believe and am up to any challenge. I told my wife if she gets baptised when our kids ask questions she can tell them her view and I will tell them mine. They can take both sides and make the decision based on who has the facts. You have every right to be here because JWD doesnt disclude anyone on the basis of what they believe. Unlike the WTS, here you can ask any question, and nobody has to be afraid about being an independent thinker or questioning things. That is a beautiful thing and maybe you come here to get that because its not in the org. There are times when the facts speak for themselves. The question I asked reveals fact. I think jws get very scared when facts come into play and they have to answer with truth. Its easier to not answer the question, as you and the org have chosen to do, then face the facts. Sort of like when you know your hubby is cheating, and you know where his mistress lives and that hes there, you could drive by and see his car, but you dont. You rest on the faith that maybe he isnt. In your mind, as long as you havent proved it, there is a chance he isnt cheating. Its easier to go on believing maybe he isnt, but deep down you know he is. You dont ask him if hes cheating, cause your afraid of the answer. If the affair becomes public, you have to admit to all your freinds, family, community, that you were too blind to see it was happening, and feel the shame of being cheated on. Its the exact same thing. Very hard to do.
