Welcome back Truthseeker1-- I am so sorry about you & your wife- especially since you love her so.But if you continued on in the Borg- just to keep her- you would not be honest to yourself or her.
My advice is watch what you say the the "elders" or tape it-- they twist what is said . God Bless you in your search

non-jw family might hire jw nanny--r we crazy?
by fred inwe are a non-jw family with 2 kids under 5 thinking about hiring a jw live in nanny.
she is in her 30's, active jw.
we all have talked about mutual respect for each others religions, and all agreed to a hands off policy.

When I was a JW-I was also a Nanny- The whole family loved me- as I loved them( they were Jews)Yes I did "drop information" to them all
When they would talk to me about their faith- I would show them in the Old Testament their error???
I believe JWs would make GREAT care givers- but walking robots.They MUST save the lives of the children( in their mixed up minds)
Why invite trouble- I always like that expression about the JWS doctrine- It is like a cold glass of Lemonade on a very hot day-
only problem is it has a couple of drops of arsnic in it....

FADE-AWAYS?
by bay64me inheard through the grapevine the other day that another member of my old congregation had decided they were not going to any more meetings.
this seems to be happening a lot lately.
i was wondering if this is a bit of a trend of late?

Mulan I remember parroting that one about the five fingers so often ( I believed it DAH)they told us your hanging on a cliff with one hand(other injured)the first finger gives up( meetings) the second gives up( service)the third is study.....It is impossible to hang on with two fingers.
The other boat one was- your at the cabin- go for a row in your little boat- jump out & run into the house for a minit- but a storm whipps up
& carries the boat away- you forgot to tie it to the tree-That is what happens when you stop going to meeting just once-- Armeggedon comes( you would be safe in the Kingdumb Hall) & your not there Bros /Sis let this be a lesson to you all.Hey I swallowed that garbage-went for over 20 yrs tied to the deadwood tree.......Dah
Then there was the time my daughter had cancer- I looked after her( no service time)they told me if I didn't have any "time in" They would know I was spiritually dying--hey I swallowed that one too !!! Yes you can all laugh & call me a "dummy" but I "aaint"no more I am a free spirit

what's the silliest....
by dustrabbit inwhat's the silliest thing you ever heard a jw say?.
(besides, the possible, "anything they say is silly.
my personal favorite: an elder once said to me at a circuit assembly back in the eighties (and why i don't remember...maybe i was smirking): "you think the devil is weak?

eyegirl.. i read your post & got a very red face. I used to tell my daughter she would never go to kindergarten.
She died from breast cancer at 43 yrs of age. leaving 3 kids -twins of 12-boy of 14.
But I am happy she "saw the light" before dying- she knew the lies !! when she was in it ( as a sweet little girl) she used to always talk about the elephant she was going to get in the "new system" - after awhile she said "I know I wont get one- so I will become one" ( after she put on weight)
I told my other daughter she would never marry- she is going to be 54 next month & on her 3rd marriage...
I told my other daughter ( I had three) she would live in that paradise - She is still in the BORG -believing what I taught( shame on me.)

Been here a year...(ramblings)
by Cowboy inyep,one year ago tonight i first posted here.i had lurked for a few weeks,never intending to post,but a particular thread hit so close to home for me,that i felt like i had to voice my opinion.of course,i was promptly slammed as being a troll,but i was stubborn enough to hang around.here i am still hanging,a whole year later.
i've maybe learned more in this past year than in the ten before it all put together.i've learned a whole lot about myself-about who i am,and why.i've learned about the organization that shaped my life and my family.originally i was shocked by alot of what i read here,and wasn't sure whether or not to believe it all.but looking back,knowing what i do now explains an awful lot of things.
i've learned lot's about people,too.like many who were raised jw,i led a very sheltered childhood(even more so living in the country,going to a small school).i'm still not sure if this is a real cross section of life,but i think it's pretty close.i'm happy to say that i've made lot's of friends here,some very good ones.though i've had my share of disagreements,i don't consider anyone here an enemy.
