when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.
Hubby stopped attending before I but he was not mentally out. He carefully shared his doubts with me and helped me think. Yet I was the first to see the TTATT partly because I had more time to research.
I am much more emotional than he so when I became mentally out I wanted to immediately DA and shout it from the rooftop. He reigned me in kicking and screaming. He insisted that we do nothing to arouse suspicion in order to keep our freedom of speech with JWs.

i don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.
its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.
the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..
hey guys,.
so, since my leaving i have been doing so much research on so many topics that it's been extremely enlightening.
not only have i learned a lot about the organization and what motivates it, but i have also learned a lot about the bible, god and most importantly, myself.. currently, i'm not quite sure where i stand, but i'm having some real issues with the bible and god.
just to continue my theme about religious freedom and how we approach criticizing the wts, i've also been thinking about 'shunning'.. i think shunning is the most unifying complaint that most ex-members of religious groups that practice it have in common.
it is the layer that runs under every other complaint - whatever the reason for leaving it seems "... and i was shunned" can be added to it as the final rap on the charge sheet.. of course it seems like a no-brainer to many of us and we hardly ever stop to really think about it - shunning is bad, the watchtower believes in shunning therefore the watchtower is bad.
they need to stop it.
Jws already have the solution in place to protect the congregation if they wanted to "reform". It is marking. The congregation is informed that caution should be used regarding So and So. The decision as to how much association to have with the person (if any) in question is left where it belongs, to the others in the congregation. In extreme cases like child abuse the "Marking Talk" would warn parents to avoid leaving their children in his/her care.
so when will this idea be tried?
we have all seen the singing literature trolley /cart song disaster that was shown in feb 2015.. i can just see this new idea appearing on jaydubyabroodcastin soon:.
a singing contribution box that invites all to donate to the org..... "i have slots, give me lots,.
Money don't buy everything, it's true
But what it don't buy, I can't use
So give me m o n e y
That's what i want
Give me m o n e y
That's what I want
the c.o has visited.
what gems did he have for the sheeple?
he gave a talk that was entitled "rejoice in the truth!
"The main way we rejoice is by embracing (he hugs himself and uses his sexy voice) the many adjustments we are experiencing."
Seriously? What a boob!
in my first kingdom hall, the elders were ultra conservative.
our presiding overseer used to be a zone overseer.
the second hall i was in was moderate.
the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.
