5 hours ago I just didn't know what to say, so I put ?
So thank you IsaacAustin for using such a great expression, which I second:
Do you intentionally say stupid things or do they just fall out of your head by mistake?
.
i seriously doubt there's anyone with a spouse that's a jehovah's witness here.
but if so, how do you absorb all the hateful rhetoric disseminated here without spitting it back in your spouses face?.

You couldn't be more wrong!
There are many here who have there other half in the so called 'Truth'
As to your question; With great difficulty! I just have to tolerate the status quo.
my wife became a witness a few yrs after we had gotten married and i was wondering if the jw's believe that they should not socialize with people who are not jw's?i had some neighbors when i was younger and their kids who were close to my age said that that was their beliefs being witnesses.i ask my wife that and she says that isnt true.does it differ from congregation to congregation or is someone trying to cover up something?
?.
A very warm welcome to you, 'not a jw'.
You are on a very steep learning curve regarding the JW's and their beliefs and practices. I remember in 1952 asking the same questions as you do now, my wife also said the same as yours! I have managed to just live with the JW's since then; many can not succeed at that.
The JW's are NOT the people they make out to be, they live in 'cloud Cuckoo land'.
Keep reading the posts here with some discernment and you will learn a great deal from people who have been through your experience.
Best of luck with your journey.

Thank you Lore for the clarification, as I offered a copy of said book, I feel responsible for it's accuracy. My 25Mb copy DOES NOT contain that mis-spelling; I am aware of some other inferior compact versions being circulated.

It reduces your thoughts to nothing as YOU are wrong!

Around 3 a.m. Thursday, some of the firefighters in Schuylkill Haven had to be reassigned to West Penn Township where a massive fire seen from several miles away consumed a large worship hall on the 375-acre Blue Mountain Christian Retreat north of Route 895 off Blue Mountain Drive in West Penn Township. The building, which is about 300 feet long, is the main building to the retreat and houses a worship hall, guest rooms, a dining hall and other shared facilities.
Because of the rural location of the retreat just over the Lehigh County line north of Route 895 off Blue Mountain Drive, firefighters also had to use tanker trucks to bring water to the fire. But the building was beyond saving by the time firefighters arrived.
"we don't live for dates".
i have heard this a lot in my lifetime when witnesses get approached with any critical thinking of the 1914 year date.. this sounds good, at face value, but it's so disconcerting to hear them minimize this date when they will jump all over it as "proof" of their organization's divinity.. without dates such as 1914 societies like the watchtower simply would not exist.
the watchtower needed these dates to anticipate and use as selling points.. remember, before 1914 there were not very many witnesses.

where my children and husband (all dissociated or disassociated) were characters, a forum followed the program on which everybody could give his comments.. .
A way of talking I’ve never supposed a JW could use.
I have had a very similar experience. 6 years ago my wife a long standing Sister in a congregation had a disagreement with an Elder; I proved the Elder was wrong. But we have been shunned ever since!
Their whole persona changed in a trice and ever since we are treated like s**t!
They are NOT the people they make out or pretend to be.
