I have had an iPhone 4 for 4 or 5 months. I love it. It's the best phone I've ever had. I am on the phone constantly for work, and never have problems with reception/dropped-calls. Verizon is my service provider.

What would the WT do if anti shunning laws were passed?
by Aussie Oz inwhat would the wt do if say, a country or countries enacted a law that made shunnung illegal?.
punishable by time in prison or heavy fines?.
would they have the gall to 'obey god as ruler' rather than man, and actually continue the practice in defiance of the law even though they would incur the wrath of governments?

It would equivelent to associating with a worldly person...something Jehovah's Witnesses "just don't do."

Today's Watchtower Lesson Really Bothered Me...
by dontplaceliterature ini was a hair away from telling my wife i never wanted to go to the kingdom hall again after today's watchtower.
the conductor mentioned something along the lines of..."if you think having to shun your disfellowshipped children is bad...you should read up on the israelites.
when one of their children was disobedient to the law, they had to take the before the judges so that they could be stoned to death...and guess who's job it was throw the first stone?".

actual dpl here...
Just picking up on this...not sure what to think. Thanks for your fair and balanced reply, Ann. I'm not sure where this will end up. I sincerely doubt that my wife will be back here to read anything, though.
I have not made an effort to keep what I read and post online a secret from her. I know full well how to delete the history in my browser. This is not the first time she has come across a conversation I was reading on JWN.
She is scared to death that things will change, and mostly tries to ignore what I am going through because she cannot cope with the 'gravity' of it, or the prospect that I would leave her alone in the organization.
To be clear, I didn't say I would never leave. I said that if it weren't for her, I would have already left, but leaving would cost me too much at this point.
Hmmmm....I think this subject deserves its own thread...

It's 4:30 AM and I just cannot sleep after reading some of this. It's unfortunate because I know my baby will be awake in 2-3 hours for me to feed and care for. How hypocrytical is it that my husband is a ministerial servant and takes part in a forum like this? Even more hypocrytical on my part, though, that I know and don't expose him. At least I've convinced him that it is the right thing to do to step down since he has been in a spiritual muck for the past 6 months or so. How can anyone remain in a place of authority in the congregation and feel these things? I'm up also because I lovingly asked him to stop communicating online because he says he has no intentions of ever leaving the organization due to the risks it would cause every relationship in his life, including ours. As I often browse online when I am up with my motherly duties, I saw that he had been on here. I am not the best communicator face to face, like most people it's easier to write what you are feeling. So part of me hopes he reads this and part of me hopes he doesn't.
I went through hell when I was 19-20 to become a witness. None of my family are witnesses except for my husband. I know a lot of the doubts he's feeling because I did everything in my power to NOT want to believe what I was learning. I did and still do see the love in the organization. I know that no one organization is perfect because we are all imperfect despite a godly backing. Now that I have been in a loving marriage for 6+ years and have a 3 month old baby, my husband (who was raised as a witness) is exploring his beliefs. I know he is torn about his thoughts, but I know he does not want to end any relationships with witnesses. Why read blogs like this and agree with thoughts that directly go against the organization when you say the risks are to high to ever change your witness title? It is a stress to me, to him, and will be to our daughter someday if he continues down this path. He mocks me when I say I do not want to read "apostate" literature because I do not totally disagree with him about some things, but sometimes ignorance really is bliss. I wish I didn't know he was a part of this blog. It's like spiritual adultury. I know he's cheating on the organization he represents, but I can't do anything about it. He can talk to all of you, but I can't talk to anyone except Jehovah. Who can bear such a burden? I don't want my relationship to suffer like this.
I accept the organization with all of it's flaws just as I accept and love my husband. When baptized, you are essentially marrying Jehovah, his organization, it's good and not so good qualities. It is a personal choice to be baptized and for better or worse I expect myself and my husband to stick it out. Now that I've vented to a bunch of people I don't know, maybe I can get some sleep.
