Seriously, Christopher, you do not have to talk to these people at all. You are alowing them way too much control over your life. Meet them at the door and tell them "you are not welcome here. Do not ever come back here again." Then close the door. Then tell your wife that you do not want her talking to them about you, that you love her and want things in your life to work, but that the elders and the JW org are not going to be a part of it. TAke your stand. YOu cannot control what her stand will be, but you cannot have a good life together if the JW org is such a part of it.
I know at this time, that sounds impossible to do. You need to get some professional help to help you sort things out and to give you moral support in how you handle this. You need courage and strength.

JW mom has limited contact with me these days
by SnakesInTheTower inmy mom has been a jw since 1970. my dad, who died in 1994, became a dub in 1971. i have told parts of that story elsewhere on the board.. my mom remarried a couple of years later to a non-jw.
my stepfather and i get along very well, despite his background (cussin', former hell's angel, former navy seal, smoker)...generally quite rough..but underneath a decent guy.. i just called down to my mom's today...about 11am... stepdad answers.... where is my mom?
he says: "out doing her thing..." i say: "oh, you mean door knocking?

So sorry to hear this, Rich. It is too bad your mom is so brainwashed. I feel sympathy for your stepfather, too. Your mom has no idea how uncaring toward her husband it is to spend all this time in field circus instead of spending time with him. Of course, the borg teaches them to be uncaring.
Hang in there. And tell Toni life is too short to worry about other people's issues. Even if your mom blames her in some way, you both know the truth. And you had left before you and Toni got together.

"In fact, when we are under persecution, the best way to smack Satan in the face is to step up our preaching activity"
Recurring theme throughout this talk - do more, do more, do more. The usual drumbeat to do more on the hamster wheel. How sad so many are so deceived and gullible and continue in this sick organization.

"4) In 1940 in Quebec, Canada, the Cardinal of Quebec wrote to Parliament for JWs to be banned. The law was passed withing a week. Now merely being one of JWs was a crime. You did not need to have literature, be at a Hall or be out preaching to be arrested. Children were taken away from their parents and put in orphanages. Others were expelled from school and fired from work. One brother was arrested a total of 100 times! At that time, 97% of the population in Quebec was Catholic and the JWs were only a few hundred. Today, 6% go to Mass in the cities, most of the population is atheist. And there are now about 30,000 JWs." I find this comment very interesting. 97% of the population in Quebec was CAtholic - today 6% go to mass in the cities. I bet this is another huge lie. My husband and I have been attending the Catholic church he grew up in and it is very well attended, almost full to capacity at every weekend mass - don't know about during the week as I don't go then. Also, other churches in this area appear to be very well attended also. The people at the Catholic church we attend are very active in the faith activities provided by the church and are clearly very devout. Many extended families and young people raising their children attend regularly. JW's lie about the churches and their attendance to convince their members that they are the only ones with God's blessing. So, so wrong.

Flipper
by asilentone inobviously, most of us know that flipper always respond to everybody's posts everytime he starts a topic, i think he is the only one on this board that will respond to everyone in his own threads.
i would think it would be too much work for me or anyone here on this board to respond to everyone.
is that a good thing or bad thing?

I love the way Mr. Flipper responds to everyone. He seems to be such a kind person and has such a positive, caring attitude. I think he is a great guy. I know I don't post much, but I have my favorites on here and Mr. Flipper is definitely at the top of the list.
Thanks so much for what you bring to this board, Mr. Flipper!

What happened to your marriage after you stopped believing?
by JerkhovahsWitless ini know some posters here went through or are going through some painful things right now because of no longer believing when they have a husband / wife that still does.
others were able to free the minds of their spouse.
i'm assuming the latter is a lot more rare.. anyone that wishes to share their story, please do.. i'm looking to pass the info on to someone who doesn't totally believe, but may marry a jw.

My husband was not a JW and he was positively delighted when I quit the borg. Our marriage has gotten better and better without the JW religion in the way. Now we attend the Catholic church together.
