Wow!! Your story is exactly the same as mine only my ex was never really into the "truth". I was more into it than her and she kinda wore off on me. So I guess when push came to shove I didn't have a hard time saying bye to the wts. I was married at 18 too and it lasted about 6 yrs. If you can, make it work. Especially when there are kids involved. I know it sounds kinda sneaky but you'd be much happier out of the wts with your hubby than in. I know personally, the source of the majority of my fights with my ex were because of the "truth". But telling u from experience try to make it work. At least if in the end it doesn't, you can't say u didn't try.

Lets calculate the number of partakers world-wide!
by 2014CountDown inhow many partakers were in your kingdom hall??.
even if your kingdom hall had no partakers, please say so.. at the end of this thread i'll tally up the result to give a rough idea of partakers world wide!.
i'll start this thread off by saying that i attended 4 kingdom halls and there was a total of 3 partakers.

I attended 2 khs in my time with em. There was one in each hall. What I'm not sure of is does every cong report ALL partakers ?? I know in each case they were both severely depressed and borderline schizo, but the elders always said "you never know, jah will choose his people amongst the humble" So basically if ur a crackpot then you have a good chance of having a priviledged position in the wts even though you have just lost your mind. And then they preach down to other religions who claim to have had miraculous events occur to them and they call em apostates and false prophets who are seeking a high place for themselves. What they don't realize is that they are right in the same basket.

Debator. I'd like to reply to the whole humans being imperfect excuse. Back in the day these so called imperfect men were clearly inspired by god and designated as his people. (King david,moses,the israelites etc) the big problem comes for me when you have a modern day group of imperfect men who are not clearly identified as his people in the bible or you don't see any type of miraculous god sent signs...when one person or group thinks they're right and everyone else wrong they're either fanatics or liars or both. Why do you think there are sooo many different shoots of christianity? Maybe because there is so many scriptures and doctrines that are so open to interpretation. And since we all need something to believe in then there's something for everybody, from the laid back catholics to the wts. Just because you profess to use gods name in your religion does not give you "exclusive dibs" on the one true religion. This is when I ask myself "is that their excuse for all the flip flops and ever changing light?" Or is this just another group of men using religion to get what men always want : power and money.

Has being a JW turned you into a doormat?
by highdose ini confess it has for me.
when people are nasty to me and agressive i tend to freeze and have no idea what to say!.
all those years of being brainwashed into "turn the other cheek" etc etc kick in.

Of course!! I've come a looong way since getting out two years ago. I used to let people walk up and down and all over me. Its what messed up my marriage, as opposed to working out your marital problems together, there's always some stupid elder who knows what's going on and they use the elder system to play on the whole fear tactics that are instilled in our heads. Being a doormat is synonymous with being a jw. As the jws teach you and drill into your subconcious the need to "follow uncondionally the slaveclass" (otherwise known as the watchtower corp)
