Wow! Thanks for being nice to me! I thought I was going to get reamed!
- He went to college on his own volition ..in fact at one of the best Business schools in he country.None of the rest of his immediate fam went to college. I mean his immediate family are also the only Witnesses...I went to the family reunion and everyone treated his mom like she was a coo-coo and him like he was the normal one....I even heard him tell his cousin Happy B-day ( when his mom wasn't around). Btw, his mom really is not crazy, she is a geniunely funny...it's just sometimes starts talking about the "end of the system" at the most inn opportune times...
- He is baptized, but I have never seen him carry a mic or get an "assignment" on Weds....I'm assuming bc he has not transferred his member card (forgive me for not knowing the proper term...)
- We don't have children...he confuses ME . I can only imagine how a child would feel?
- I do not want to discourage him from persuing his faith,
- I am just trying to understand the mind-frame, he grew up in an extremely conservative household...my house was conservative, but more in a no dating/early curfew....he was not allowed to play sports...field service every Saturday, you know.... then when he went to college he kind of "met the world".
- Please understand that I am not trying to bash my husband! I just want to understand him.
- Also, did I say he smoked? I cannot imagine him with a cigarette, so let me clear that up. He rarely drinks...when he meets up with his fraternity bros is really the only times I have seen or heard of him drinking.
Is it normal for JW's closest friends to not know? I try to not say anything, but I totally called him out for the how much he loved getting Facebook posts for his Bday and he promptly took his Bday off his Facebook page...whatever the history is still there from the last few years wherever has thanked everyone for the kind wishes....really my point was are you sure you dont want to go celebrate?
Then I saw his face lighting up as his texts blew up with what I presume were birthday wishes....and he was just beaming. And I got even more confused.

Clearly enjoys the attention he gets from others on his birthday. Did I mention none of his friends, I mean, not one knows he is a Witness. He sends me The Daily Text via text message everyday, but him and his frat brothers f/undergrad just got back from Vegas last weekend (where they partied so hard he spent nearly $2,000 at bars and gambling trying to keep up with the likes of his doctor friends).
He goes to meetings on some Weds and some Sundays, but that is about the extent of his Witnessing....he doesn't do field service. I feel like he is a Witness out of guilt and not wanting to disappoint his mother, who he adores.
He is the most gentle, kind man I know.
I just don't understand ....is this what Witnesses are REALLY like?
It seems like a lot of work to live in these dual worlds , I used to go to the Hall with him and stuied w/ a sister too, but I lost interest after I saw the extent to which he hides his faith...I started going back to my own places of worship.
