Blondie - I am amazed that you put so much time and effort into this. I can't even stand the thought of reading one paragraph, let alone a whole article.

I'm new too!
by Annointeds Daughter ini'm new to the forum.
i've been lurking for some time, since i was "disconnected" by my husband, "tooktheredpill".
i'm a 3rd generation witness, and still inside of the borg, because all my family is inside.

Hi and Welcome,
I was where you are a few years ago. I still have lots of family in and have to pretend that everything is wonderful in WT land, so I feel your pain. It does get easier.
I find it much easier to sit through a meeting now that I no longer have guilt. That was probably the worst thing for me, the guilt. Guilt that you are not doing enough, not a good parent, spiritual head, not enough time in field service, etc.
Now I live my life the way I want to and when I am forced to go to meetings, I sit there and smile because what they say from the platform does not influence my life anymore. If we would not be shunned by our family, we would never step foot back into a KH, but unfortunately that is not the case right now.

Give her time. If you can drop little tidbits to her now and then, maybe someday it will click. That's what happened to me. My dad disassociated himself and things that he said to my DH and I clicked in years later, first to my DH and then to me.
She may never leave the witnesses completely if she has family in, but she may get to a point where she sees the light and you can live normal lives.

I haven't read all of the above comments but a couple of people mentioned being the best husband you can be. This is really good advice. The WTS has the R&F convinced that once someone leaves "the truth" they instantly become immoral, therefore, your wife probably fears that this will happen to you. Let her know that nothing is going to change just because you disassociated yourself and she wants to remain a witness.
Just reassure your wife of how much you do love her and start doing more activities with her. If you can get her to meet other people that aren't witnesses and show her that they are not evil that may help also. People fear the unknown.

Translation: I used to like this brainy woman before she started dissenting my beliefs. Now her brains threaten me.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding....we have a winner.

Is Obama Gay?
by sammielee24 innot an issue with me - but i wonder how many voters would turn against him if they found out he was?
the latest tabloid in check out lines has brought the sinclair scandal out into the public eye - and although i haven't heard it yet, i understand that rev manning has a damning video on youtube.
larry craig was vilified - would the same people who vilified him still vote obama in and why?

I hope he is gay, gets elected and then comes out of the closet. They can't impeach him for being gay can they?

Anyway, I like Amanda. What she did last night was priceless but I think he will pick Shayne. Hope Chelsea goes next week.
