I don't know what part of the country you are in but maybe there are some on this board nearby and you can meet up with them on Saturday. If you are anywhere near me you're welcome to come over for breakfast.

Welcome Back...
Wannabe suggested reading some books. I totally agree. Add "Captive to a Concept" to the list.
I, too, would like to know what your wife thinks about your epiphany. Is/was she a JW and what is her feelings?
Your journey has just begun...hang in there for a bumpy ride.

MIL gives advice on how to "cope"
by AggieNostic inmy wife's parents just can't stand that we haven't been to meetings since 2005. both are pioneers, retired, active fanatical jws.. anyway, today mil called the wife and after pleasantries, stated that we should really think about coming back to the meetings so we can better cope.
my wife answered: "cope with what?
" mil: "cope with this old system of things..." wife: "hmmm... we seem to be coping pretty well now".

"Being a JW is the problem, not this system. The guilt, fear and constant boring meetings etc... makes you yearn for the New System™."
3Mozzies - Couldn't have said it better...my MIL tried to pull the same thing on me the other day about the economy and how bad it was. After I hung up with her I asked my husband if it was any worse than "The Great Depression"? I don't see people throwing themselves off 20-story buildings these days.
Broken Promises - you are dead on!

How did your family tell you to bug off? no contact, etc...
by carla ini am just wondering about what the usual method for jw's to tell you to get the heck out of their life until you shape up and come back to jah routine?.
one more question- let's say someone decided to go back but were possibly df'd, da'd or even just rumored to be an apostate, now they come back and they sit in the back and generally get treated like crap until the elders say their 'time out' is over.
can the family talk to them while they are in the dog house so to speak or do they have to wait until the elders give the ok?

My husbands family has as little contact with us as possible. My mother-in-law called me the other day to tell me that she saw someone that looked like me and it made her so sad.

Mother-in-law sending me dvd...need input
by TweetieBird inmy mother-in-law called me today and said that she is sending us a dvd that came out at summer convention about the history of the organization and why it is "being used by jehovah".
she asked if we would watch it cause she knows that we don't think wts is being used by god.
i told her that we would watch it and send back to her.
