  after being away for 3 years i have agreed to attend some meetings with my wife who is suffering depression.

  she has no friends except witnesses.

  every meeting i get pats.......pats on the back during the damn meeting, elders and servants patting me on the back, mouthing "hello" giving me the thumbs up.....the last elder who did it, i almost stood up and punched him....i invented love bombing and they dare use it on me...me!

  Now... How do I stop thinking about this...

  ok... this is marketman (a.k.a ptucker) and you have all been very helpful in your previous postings.

  now, maybe someone can give me some advice on how to stop thinking about jw doctrines, jehovah, and everything else associated with this situation.. i wake up thinking about it... i go to sleep thinking about it... i thought this was it... i thought this was the spiritual direction i needed even though i am questioning every aspect of it now.

  yesterday i went to a bible service at another church and i enjoyed it a lot but i kept thinking "what if this is wrong... what if jehovah is the answer..." i need to stop thinking about it... can anyone provide insight on how some of you mustered through.

  Friends, Study Partners, and then GONE...

  about a year and 12 ago, after much conversation with a jw co-worker, we began a formal study.

  we studied religiously (no pun intended) almost every week unless i was on business travel or there was a sickness or other item that precluded us from getting together.. .

  during that process, we became very strong, close friends... at least that is what i thought was happening.

  Is becoming a witness the right thing for me

  i've been struggling for quite some time now about continuing my exploration of the jehovah witness faith.

  i am a "cradle" catholic and have been very involved with the church.

  i started to become disillusioned several months back with all of the tradition, habits, and teachings of the church--which i began to seriously doubt.
