Hi Nickolas:
That makes sense. Have you always been atheistic or is this a recent understanding of yours? Was your wife a JW when you met, or has she had a change in her thinking since you met and were married? If she is dyed in the wool JW it will be very hard to remove the cancer without damaging so much of the surrounding tissue as to make the operation unworthwhile. You may make your points and even win the battles but may lose the war as your relationship could be in tatters. It's a tough call my friend. I made the decision that I would not use a frontal assault on my wife for fear that I would damage her existing faith to the point that our relationship would suffer as much as her faith. In the long run that did not work out well for me because I lost a woman who I loved and continue to love very much. How a full frontal assault works with other relationships I don't know. It is a tough call. Whether you have strong faith in God, or do not believe that he exists, it is a part of who we are. Whatever approach you choose, be careful.
I for one believe that there is God. Whether I could convince you or anyone else is a tough question to answer. I was a JW from the time I was about 20 till I resigned from the congregation in July '06. I still have strong faith in Jehovah and his Son Jesus but my understandings of who and what they are are much different now than when I was 20. I am currently 55 years old. Perhaps we can discuss this in more detail. I will tell you that I try not to get into a lot of pointless arguments that will lead nowhere, but if we can discuss it civilly, I'm game.
