  i have heard that there are purported to be quite a number of you apostate types in my area.

  so far i'm inclined to believe this is just a rumor.

  i'm harmless, truly.

  "and do you regret your choice in a spouse? i mean, due to the religious barrier?"

  I have no regrets. I am no longer a JW so there is no religious barrier. During the frist 2 years of my marrige I continued to attend meetings so although I never let the JW's Interfere with my marrige even though they tried. I was constantly reminded that I was married to an 'unbeliever' and that he would die in armageddon. I was told that he would try his hardest to keep me from serving Jehovah and that the marrige would never last becuase Jehovah was not in our marrige. I was encouraged to never have children because they would not have a spiritual upbringing. This did nothing but dicourage me. I started my fade, and made my final break last year.

  If you are considering marrying a non-JW, do not expect him to convert, because most likely he will not. It will be hard if you want to continue to be an active JW because the congregtion will try thier hardest to turn you against your husband.

  Welcome HapEmelissa!

  I was a babtized jW in good standing with the congregation when I married a non-jw in 1996. I was not Df'd or reproved but I was 'marked' . I was not allowed to be married in the KH and my family was encouraged to not attend or to have anything to do with my wedding. After I was married, I was no longer invited to congregation get-togethers and I lost all my witness friends. So even though you will not be officially DF'd you will be treated as such.

  i decided this needed its own post.

  in the late eighties/early nineties i was one of those guys outside the tacoma dome, a subject that came up in at least two recent threads.

  at the time i was newly out, and i felt that i needed to make a statment.

  JeffT,

  I was the one who mentioned the guy with the bull horn in the previous thread. I attended the tacoma dome conventions fonr the early 80's to the late 90's. Although there were alot of protesters there every year, the only one I distincly remember was the ''watch out for the watchtower" guy. He was there every year, every weeknd of the convention, standing under that giant clock tower. I am happy that he had such a big part in your exiting. I find it sad that my parents taught me that 'those evil apostates were working for satan, and I wasn't even to look at them when I walked by', when in fact they are loving peopl who are trying to help others.
