Every Witness on earth knows that the Organization claims that they are God's sole channel of communication----they freely admit this in their literature.
Do you have a short list of places in the WT cd-rom I can point out to her?

I was horrible to him when it came to the "truth". I barely tolerated him. I resented him for leaving, and for beginning a new life I didn't understand. I was angry with him after every convention, assembly, meeting and service I had to take two, then three, kids to alone.
I've felt some of that, but she'll never admit it. There were times she'd take the kids to metting nites, and come back really angry at them for thier obvious impatiaence,and I guess at me for not helping.

How is your wife taking it? Do you have children? Please consider riding it out if you can for a little while longer.
She won't really respond except to say, "you want to divorce me!" to avoid responsibility I guess. Other than the blank JW stare, I get nada. Our son is 17(18 in Sept) and we have a 6 yr old great nephew(wife's side of the family) that we are trying to raise, and i do care about him, but he's not my child. We tried to finish raising 3 of her nephews as well for about 4 years, and I find that these kids today when facedd with discipline will tell you, "You ain't my daddy!" I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that, adn maybe feel it's why I can't ride it out a little longer. I've allowed this cult to make subtle changes to our lives for almost 14 years. Though I've actively opposed this year heavily, I guess it just took a toll....
