i am from the southeast usa, and i started going to the kh when i was about 14 years old.
i went pretty regularly until i was about 18, then i went to only sunday meetings.
i married my husband of 16 years, who was a baptized jw ( i wasn't).
Thanks everyone for the welcome. And I'm already getting some great advice. In my heart, I already know the advice you guys are giving. I do believe he does just to make himself look good and that's what I tell him, you're not teaching them the truth, you're not guiding them in that regard, so why do we have to sit on the fence? Don't they preach against that too?!
Anyway, glad to be here and hope to get to know you guys!

I am from the Southeast USA, and I started going to the KH when I was about 14 years old. I went pretty regularly until I was about 18, then I went to only Sunday meetings. I married my husband of 16 years, who was a baptized JW ( I wasn't). And I guess as a result he started missing meetings because I was. And now, he rarely goes at all. Maybe about once every 6 months or so. Anyway, we have 3 kids, and I feel bad for my kids because he doesn't let them participate in anything....holidays, birthdays, football games, even just social events with their friends ( I have to practically beg him for the few times that they have been allowed.) But yet, he doesn't teach them about JW or the Bible. So there's no conviction for anything, religious or otherwise.
Back to me, the main reason that I quit going was because all of my close 'friends' in the truth, were getting baptized, and I felt like I wasn't quite ready. And they pretty much quit associating with me. Even as an adult, I have found much closer, more decent friend out 'in the world'.
Just wanted to say Hi!!!
