  that's what my wife said to me the night before last.

  i was making an observation about the way my family and other jws in my life are constantly trying to get me to go to a meeting or read an awake, but they never want to sit down and address the questions i have raised to them.

  she then asked me why i can't just move on.

  Seriously though…..this is why one cannot just “move on”! When I read this thread with all of your stories, the aggravation and the heartache, I can’t help but become enraged.

  I really feel for those of us (ex-cult members, in case my wife’s reading) who are married to someone that still trapped on the inside. I am very fortunate and I can really appreciate what I have when I read stores such as your's. I met and married my “worldly” wife long after I left the borg. I wish that I could give you some advice but, really, I’m in no position to do so.

  The only person that I have those inevitable conversations with is my mother. We get into it down and dirty. She gets mad at me and I get mad at her. When we’ve had enough, we go our separate ways and usually we'll take a break from one another to cool off. It’s not like I have to worry about divorce and what that will do to me both emotionally and financially. The worst that my mother can do is to shun me and I'm prepared for that. The advantage that I have over others in similar situations is that my father is not a JDub and therefore even if my mother should choose to shun me I’ll still have contact with her through him.

  You’re right though…the best thing you can do is to lay low for a while and lead by example. One thing to always keep in mind is that if she views your opinions as threatening that she’ll shut down and probably not listen to anything you have to say. When presenting a point that you know she’ll take exception too, you’re going to have to put on the kid gloves and proceed with caution.

  Good luck and keep us informed.

  It wouldn't even be an issue if you had the support of your wife and family. The drones could come and go and I wouldn't matter to you. You would be at peace un affected by their stairs or shunning. But the problem is not that you have to see them but that your wife is still on their side. Do you feel like she'll ever be able to see the WTBS's lies? Are you making progress with her?

  I made the point very bluntly that I cannot move on because she is involved so heavily in the religion, which brings it into our lives on a daily basis.

  This is what I say exactly. My wife (not a JW) will occasionally ask me why I cant just let it go and move on. My reply is that as long as the WTBS maintains control of any of my family (my mother's still a JDub) then they are affecting me in a direct manner. This is unacceptable!

  cannot even work in my front yard without seeing someone from my old hall

  Atypical......dude.....you've got it in a bad way, don't you? I would go crazy if I had to look at former "brother" and "sisters" on a daily basis. I'd be on the housing market in a heart beat.

  Hang in there man. Keep up the good fight. I'll be thinking about you and your family hoping that things pull together for you.

  I also wanted to get an astronomy/physics/nature of the universe type book while I was at the library but the fruits of my loin started to get a bit rambunctious and my 2 year old son even had a librarian lecture him about not running in the library (mind you he was in the fenced in childrens section). Should'nt she have been praising him for even being in a library in stead of sitting in front of a TV?

  Well I went to the library and borrowed three books this weekend. They are as follows:

  1) The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin. A fairly interesting read but written from the Christian perspective with intent to convert all cult members accordingly.

  2) Churches that Abuse by Ronald M. Enroth (haven't even opened it yet.

  3) End-Time Visions: The Road to Armageddon? by Richard Abanes (haven't even opened it yet.
