This is a situation that YOU PERSONALLY will have to think about and decide what course will make you happier. You can't base a decision on what the people here post. Some are saying that they stayed with their wife and it worked, but others are telling you that staying with a wife under the influence of the WT cult is the worse thing you can do.
None of that matters because your wife is not the same person as the wives of these posters. Your situation is not the same as their situation.
You are going to have to think about your life and situation and decide what you believe is the right choice to make---for you personally. There are no guarantees either way. You make the choice and live with it.
On the other hand, you don't have to make the choice today.
I personally don't like to ask anybody for any input on serious decisions. I feel that I have a good head on my shoulders and am able to come up with a solution that I can live with--without any regrets.
I left my entire jw family and jw friends when I was about 18. I never looked back. I worked at putting myself in a situation that has brought me much happiness.
Hope things work out for you either way.

Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?
by minimus init looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

"Doesn't really matter, the man's political career is over."
LOL, I see you have no idea how politics works in the GREAT USA
Trump will speak on Sunday afternoon, the final day of the conference, which will run from February 25 to February 28, the conference organizer confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday.
The former president will use his time to discuss the future of the Republican party and the conservative movement, according to The Hill. He's also expected to attack President Joe Biden's extensive immigration plan by specifically highlighting "disastrous amnesty and border policies," the publication reported.

And can turn a whole country without using one bullet........it's called MINDWARS!
They could get you to kill a family member through media......and that's a fact....because we are in "media cult land"Totally agree!
In fact, the Watchtower is a small example of how a small group of men can influence a group of about 8 million to turn against their own family-----against their own children, parents, close friends.
The human species is not very discerning! They are easily tricked. Especially the masses.

The Genesis account again proved WRONG
by opusdei1972 inaccording to the watchtower's insight encyclopedia : .
the catastrophic destruction of men and animals by an overwhelming flood in the days of noah, 2370 b.c.e.
this greatest cataclysm in all human history was sent by jehovah because wicked men had filled the earth with violence.

I get a kick of some exjws who still hold on to the idea that the Bible is God's inspired word. These individuals are still holding on to the idea Jesus became King right after his resurrection and they continue to work meticulously on trying to figure out the meaning of the Gentile times, the last days, and etc.
I was raised in a jw household. But by the time I turned 16 I knew the bible was a book of fairy tales. Think about it, a book based on magical fruit, talking snakes and donkeys, invisible heavenly creatures that materialize fleshly bodies to rape beautiful women. It's a fairy tale book.
Any other book that had these things as a foundation would be considered demonic.
At age 16 I knew that;
There are approx. 9 million different types of species on the earth. Anyone with a little education on math can figure out that the ark was about 1.5 million cubic feet.
The bible says Noah was instructed by Jehovah or YHWH to take SEVEN pairs of clean animals into the ark and TWO pairs of unclean.
Do the Math----
About 40 MILLION ANIMALS that Noah had to squeeze into an ARK that was 1.5 million cubic feet.
IMPOSSIBLE;

So much extra time!
Something I realized when growing up was that religion and marrying too young is not good for your long term happiness. I was raised in a jw home but when I turned 18 I said Bye to everyone. I personally didn't believe in fading to keep my jw friends and family. I felt that keeping ties with anything related to jwism was like keeping an anvil tied to one of my legs. I even had a jw girlfriend who was making plans for marriage with me. But I knew that in reality, I could find another girl considering there are billions of humans on the planet.
So at eighteen I worked different part time jobs including a plumber's helper and went to school at the same time. I lived in shitty apartments for about 10 years. I didn't get involved with girls during this time because I knew that it would derailed my plans. Let's face it, if you get a girlfriend, sooner or sooner you will have sex, then whether you use protection and are very careful accidents happens. Then kids come into the picture and your done.
I'm in my early 30s, and I can now actually retire and have enough money for the rest of my life. My business now runs itself. My jw family after a few years reached out to me and told me that they wanted a relationship with me regardless of me never wanting to be a Jw. Now some of them are waking up.
None of this would have happened if I had stayed in the religion. You cannot make any type of progress in anything, if you stay in the Watchtower Religion because they STEAL ALL YOUR TIME--ACTUALLY THEY STEAL YOUR LIFE.

Yea, there's a bunch of these kind of stories on exjwreddit. I don't even read them anymore, unless I feel like having a good laugh.
But a few months back when the pandemic was at it's worst, one born in jw said that during the CO's talk on Zoom, he had heard that "A Person" received the letter and shared it with his family. The "Person" went to jw.org and started researching through the whole website. After one week of 24/7 hours of researching jw.org, the man and his family realized they have found the TRUTH.
So they contacted headquarters and asked for a bible study and the whole family are now, quote; "OUR BROTHERS and SISTERS"
As always, (No name, No location, just an anecdotal evidence) just proof that letter writing WORKS!

Why would you be a coward?
If you leave the WT -----There is no God to appease!
If you stay in the WT ----There is no God to please!
But you only have one life to live-----and for most that life is less than 100 years.
So live it as you wish.
The goal is not to be a hero or a coward, but to survive as long as possible in peace and a with some measure of happiness.
Because after it’s over, will we really care if we were viewed as cowards or heroes?
Leaving life with a smile should be the goal
