Do the two of you plan to fade?
Yes we do. We are both 3rd Generation JW, so family issues are a factor. We don't have an exact plan of action yet, but that is the ultimate goal. We absolutely DO NOT want our kids to be in this cult.
Good conversations this past week while having some alone time.
She's in the grieving and angry (at WT) phase right now, but is 100% mentally out.

Oh and she is also 100% aware of how apostate I am now. And she's okay with it.
I have to admit that this big guy cried a little when I spilled all of my feelings and she didn't bat an eye and said she was sticking with me.
I know how lucky I am. I hope for every dude out there waiting for his wife to wake up gets to someday experience this feeling.
P.S. If it weren't for cognitive therapy, I may never have opened up to her like I did. I'll always be grateful to my therapist for that.

what did it? I just shared the PBS Newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "JW story on PBS."

We are trying to figure out where to go from here. I told her about the support I've found on this forum and will be introducing it to her.

It appears that JW talk thread either got taken down or was made "members only."

I don't understand how protecting children from abusers doesn't, by extension, protect their spirituality as well.
That excuse is a cop out.

Folks,
I'm compiling a YouTube playlist with video of news stories from reputable sources like the recent stories on ABC and PBS.
Got any links handy? It can cover anything related to JW's.
So far, I have the Nightline Conti story from last night, the PBS Newshour story from last month and a story from a local affiliate about the Jose Lopez lawsuit.
I find a lot of exJW YouTubers like to add their commentary. I'd prefer to let the videos just speak for themselves. I think they're more effective that way.

Is anything holy?

is anything holy?.

i would maintain that holiness can only come from the attitude of people ascribing something as holy.

holiness never comes from the "holy" object, spirit or humans described as being holy..
cappytan

I tell you what -- Watchtower doctrine sure is holey.

JW response when rate of growth is high: "Jeehooobippityboppityboo is blessing the work!"
JW response when rate of growth is low: "Well, Jesus did say the road to life was narrow and cramped and that few would choose it."
See, folks? No matter what the evidence is, there's no way to show JW's that all they are is just another religion. They have this little mental condition called Confirmation Bias.

He's a member in good standing? With a beard like that?
Bravo ABC. Every dub watching this will at least see the beard and realize Kendrick is a liar if he's claiming to be in good standing.
