Had been coming here as a guest, after my wife had told me she was going back to the Org. Stumbled onto the website while trying to educate myself about the Org. I am a UBM. My wife and I had only been married a year, when she sprung this on me. Needless to say, my life has changed quite dramatically.
Thank you JWD...I'm learning a lot from all of you.

Help with Jw friend
by Budda ini want to tell you about my friend who is a jw.
my first impression of her was a gorgeous, nice, and intelligent woman.
after a few weeks i could tell we were both attracted to each other and even one of my friends was hinting we should get together.

Wife has gone back to the Organization...what can I expect??
by Shadow1 inmy wife and i have been married for just over one year.
while we were just dating, she had told me that she used to belong to the jehovah's witnesses, but no longer had those beliefs.
i thought i could handle all of this (i am a non- believer), but she has since got back to the org (all her family belong as well).

I can't believe all the reponses I have been getting to my query. Thank you all very much.
Allow me to recap my situation...My wife had been a JW since the age of 14, when she and her sisters where baptised into the religion, as she calls it. She remained a JW all through her first marriage, and raised her children the same. Only her her son, was not baptised. Her two daughters were. One daughter is trying to return after a lengthy absence, and the other has no intention of doing so. She is enjoying Christmas's with her young son far too much!! Which, by the way, I was the one who attended the child's Christmas Pageant at the school, not my wife.
Apparently, in the last year or so of her first marriage, she felt she was not leading the life of a "good JW", so she basically just stopped going to the hall and such. I guess she was "fading" away? So, anyway, I met her after about two years after her divorce, and we dated for a year. A few months ago, shortly before our first anniversary, she told me that she would like to return to the JW religion. Now, I do not know much about any religion (I do not believe in God), but I am the kind of person that totally repects other people's beliefs, and would not stand in her way. However, I have told her that there is no possible way that I would ever join her for any meetings, or have anything to do with it personally, short of family funerals and the like. I can tolerate seeing her books and magazines in the house. I don't mind if she has her friends over for coffee. However, I have told her that she will never hold a book study in my home. I draw the line at seeing 10 or 20 people sitting in my livingroom reading their books and bibles. Somehow it doesn't sit well with this "atheist"!!
Again, thank you all for your concern and encouraging words...I'll be back!!

My wife just left for another meeting. A book study? Oh well...gives me the opportunity to read up on the JW lifestyle.
Thank you all very much for the feedback today. I have a feeling I'll be coming back here with many more questions.
