i'd like to share with you all a personal experience that i had recently.. i had told a freind about the u.n issue (j.w) and she said to let her know when i got my answer from the governing body about why they joined.. she asked about it, i did not bring it up, and i showed her their response (the standard explanation from brooklyn which you have all seen.).
we then got into a very interesting conversation.. she agreed with me that the explanation was very unacceptable, she did not even try to argue it.. she even accepted that it was wrong of the w.t to do this - i was very surprised.
we got into talking about the governing body, and my problems with it, and she surprised me further when she said that she does not believe that the governing body should be followed or held in as high regard as god or jesus.. she believes that god works through this organisation, but thinks that there are so many problems with j.w's never questioning their stands or logic.
A JW friend of mine said she believed because of the UN issue and the sexual abuse issues Jah has taken his spirit away from the org. She also said if she experienced what the Silent Lambs experienced she would be DF'd too. She would not remain silent..hah she is a PR Lisa (LDH)
However it doesn't mean to her that it isn't the True religion. Hey she's in since 69' what do you expect...lol

i have read lots of accounts here about married couples who have left the jws over the last few years.. theres also quite a number of men who are leaving who are concerned that their wives may want to remain as active jws.. why is that, i wonder?
why do the males always seem to make the move to escape the clutches of the wtbts, whilst the wife is usually desperate to maintain the status quo?
we dont seem to hear about women who want to leave whilst their husbands want to stay, it always seems to be the other way around.. most peculiar.
Englishman, Your theory may be correct in most cases but as in mine it is not true. However, I'm still hopeful My husband will come along with me. He's a great husband and he even does laundry so I'd like to hang on to him...LOL

To the person that thinks I'm Julie and that I somehow have been persecuting him...Please show me where?????
There is medication available these days. It's to bad some people don't want to get the help they need. Paranoia and unwarranted feelings of persecution can be treated. Please seek medical attention preferably from a psychiatrist.
