I feel for you bro. Hang in there & stop talking about the organization with your wife. You cannot make her leave and you cannot make her believe what you believe if she is not ready. If she likes the hall and the so called friends you will have to respect that for now. Let the brothers df you if you dont care anymore. Just accept the fact that you will be looked down upon for a long time by her family and the people at the hall who know the situation. Try to keep the peace at all cost and stay reasonable when dealing with her and her family.

So I asked my female coworker what she was doing this weekend............
by miseryloveselders inbut her reply made me so very envious.
you know my mother always would tell me, "wordly people aren't really happy.
" as a kid that always bugged me because i figured if people are laughing, smiling, and generally having a good time, they must be happy.

Fading vs. D'F'd
by Band on the Run ini don't know the details.
is it true that if you slowly withdraw, you are free to go but if you are active and do an offense, you are shunned.
is their principle whether you are appropriating and blemishing the name vs. severity of the actual offense.

If you want to celebrate the holidays, vote, gamble, have sex outside of marriage, smoke or do many other things JW's dont do with peace of mind you must DA or you will get get caught or ratted on by some other witness at some point and they will DF you on the spot. If you want to fade in peace and can stay away from watchtower defined sins just keep playing by there rules and be miserable, but at least some will still associate with you if you are not DF or DA. You will just be viewed as a weak publishers in strong witnesses minds. 1 Cor. 15:33
