Thanks for your comment, jwfacts. Maybe talking with my ex-JW friends helps him to know our situation better than before. Unfortunately he can't read English.

>I think this website will really help you feel truly free. Thanks, mama. I am already free from the belief of JW, since I studied from some JW apostate sites and lovely friends around me! It took over a year since I began to check those sites. >It may help your husband understand why your parents treat you the way they do. I have some ex-JW friends and sometimes my husband and I talk with them. Now he know about JW, their teaching and situation better than before, he once tried yet he gave up to understand their feelings free. Recently he is interested in the feelings of non-JW husbands.

>This is what find all over the earth,in every congregation, people judging and critizing you, nothing but another form of pride by looking down on others. I didn't take it as criticism, that was only my fault. I did thought my effort is not enought. >We know at one time there were 40% of publishers in Japan that were pioneering, do they do it out of love for God or is it nothing but pressure from others? We had many pioneers before, one reason is it was easy to find part-time job. and elders tend to push young people not to go to college and go into pioneering. Some of them took to go correspondence high schoool and kept auxirialy or regular pioneering. I went to full-time high school and didn't go to college because not only JW issue but also my father (non-JW at that time) told me he wouldn't (or to tell the truth, couldn't) support financially to go higher education. If I were back to those days, I would go to college to study English.

Let me correct my latest post first.
>My brother is an active JW and stay single, I remember I wish to marry very much.
My brother is an active JW and stay single, I remember he wished to marry very much.
Thank you, evita. Just after I was disfellowshiped, I thought JW had truth, believed their teachings. That's why I kept attending meetings and after marrige I was suffered from fear of Armageddon. Before and after DF, I kept struggling to choose which one I would associate with...JWs (5 million worldwide including my family) or my dearest. Finally I chose my husband.
For about three years I haven't checked any of JW related sites since it was prohibited, even I was DFd, I was kept by that rule. I have no one to ask for a advice regarding my JW parent issues. My husband is very kind but he hates them because of their attitude.
I couldn't go along with his parent well. I lost all the friends as they were JWs. New friends I couldn't tell about my experience or the fact I was belonging to the org. Once they told me loveless words regarding my parent, I was very shocked and I knew no one without JW experience could understand my feelings even my husband. Then I tried to see ex-JW sites. That was about 2 years ago. -

What do JWs teach about survival of Armageddon....As of non-JW spouse?
by windchime ina friend of mine asked me what do they teach regarding non-believers' future.
can they survive it (probably because of good deed of jw wife or husband)?
it should be different in case of the partner is friendly to jw and its belief or persecutors.

Thanks zeroday, I myself think so, too. I remember being a JW is minimal prerequisite and not all JWs won't be survive, no?
Do you have a source from specific WT article, especially refer to non-believer spouse and Armageddon? Please let me know.
