I spoke with my mom earlier today (Tuesday) about this very thing and she and I both agreed that it seems like my wife is trying to make me feel guilty (whether intentionally or not) because I chose not to become a Jehovah's Witness. It is hypocritical on her part to say that we can't be a 'spiritual' family because 'I don't want to do the things she wants to do' while simultaneously refusing to attend church with me even when I invite her.
But to be fair, I have to admit that for a few years prior to all of this she has been a very remarkable woman who I unfortunately took for granted. A part of me wishes I could turn back the hands of time and have been more loving and forgiving of some of her ways as I am learning to be now. For all I know, she may have not have decided to return to the Watchtower. I have stated before that there have been times that even she has doubted the very existence of God and sometimes feels that He was a bit egotistical to create people for the sole purpose of worshipping Him. Oh well, water under the bridge I guess.
Thanks for your responses everyone.
carla: I see that you were the unbelieving spouse in your marraige. Is your marraige still intact? I apologize if you have already answered this elsewhere.
bulgogiboy: I am still holding out hope that things will work out. She has two aunts who are witnesses and married to non-believers and they've been married for a long time and show no signs of splitting up. Everyone is different but this does provide for some hope.
dgp: Thanks. Since you are on the outside as your involvement with the witnesses concerns a friend of yours who (if I am correct) you at one time had feelings for, you are in a very good zone for learning about and observing them. I have an old friend who was a witness when I met her and is now out along with her boyfriend who was a regular pioneer. How are things going between you and your friend?
Balsam: You truly are a blessing on this site. I will keep your suggestions in mind for I do recall at one time finding the terms 'unbeliever' and 'worldly' to be very offensive. Personally, the witnesses find themselves thinking to be persecuted when in reality they are just being judged in the same manner that they've judged others. Something Jesus warned us about.
GL Tirebiter: I take it things did not work out for you in your situation. I am sorry to hear that. How are things going for you now and to what extent is your current involvement with the witnesses?
