  first of all- a little history.

  my ex-wife a fanatic jw seems to be in a pissing match ( not of my choosing ) with me over trying to get my son back into the jw cult.

  he's 25, been out of the witnesses since 17 and he is very happy with his life .he has a great girlfriend, he enjoys gardening growing his own vegetables and he is a performing singer/guitarist now writing songs and performing in front of hundreds of people .

  Well, it sounds like your wife could write for the Watchtower!! Gag. Sorry, I know she's your wife and you love her and that, but you need to tell her to get a grip. My mother is the same. She spent and hour telling me how unhappy and uncontent I was and that I was just going to be some unhappy, malcontent, washed-up alcoholic by the time I was her age. (Of course, I was tempted to point out that by the time I was her age, Armegeddon would be here so I wouldn't be her age ever, according to her.) Then she told me that my full of BS older sister (who's decided to come back to the JWs for like the fifth time) is soooooo happy now, has LOTS of friends (apparently, I don't) is totally off her antidepressants and everything is all smiles, love and happiness now. I guess Jah takes care of chemical imbalances as well.

  JW's being more "secretive" than usual?

  anyone noticing any odd "more secretive-than-usual" type behavior among jws very recently?.

  kind of like "somethings-up" mode?.

  Yes. I get told nothing. But my dad likes to blab. I called the other night and

  he told me that my sister (baptised at 16 but faded 25 years ago) is now a JW again!

  I am flabbergasted as she has always been strongly opposed. Unfortunately, she's not

  talking to me now (don't know why either) but I wouldn't try to discourage her anyway.

  I think she's having major issues in her life and they're swarming her with the "love."

  Makes me feel sick.

  I agree with Mad Sweeney. I'm back in college (at 40) and love it. Although I

  have a decent profession with a good salary, I felt the need to finish my

  undergrad. I love it. University makes you think "outside" the bun. :) Pushes you

  to think for yourself, something the Borg doesn't encourage at all on both counts.

  The whole drinking, sex, parties, contracting disease thing is just a myth

  perpetuated by the JWs. Yes, these things exist, but you can easily stay away

  from that.....just a thought!
