She will probably start avoiding spending too much time with non-jw family and friends. For certain you can count on her not participating in any holiday activities.

Wife has gone back to the Organization...what can I expect??
by Shadow1 inmy wife and i have been married for just over one year.
while we were just dating, she had told me that she used to belong to the jehovah's witnesses, but no longer had those beliefs.
i thought i could handle all of this (i am a non- believer), but she has since got back to the org (all her family belong as well).

I really am so very sorry that you have to go through this and wish I had something more to offer than saying how very sorry I am. I do hope for a positive outcome eventually.

need a logical refutation for this JW argument about voting
by chickpea inone of my nearest and dearest "sisters" for years always used this argument at the door to stress the evils of participating in the electoral process>>>>> if you vote for a candidate and then he/she does something in office that leads to deaths ( or whatever.... ) then the people who voted that individual into office share the blame/guilt/bloodguilt..... .
how do i deconstruct that to prove that no one is responsible for a decision other than the decision maker ( or decider as in a new vernacular term) ?.

Perhaps she should start making her own clothes. You see, by buying a certain brand she could be supporting a company that employs third world workers in sweatshops in unbearable conditions. If she chooses to support a company by buying their product and that were to happen she would clearly be responsible for the inhumane treatment of others.

I would, yes. In fact, I thought long and hard about this earlier this year when my dad was going to have a very dangerous surgery based in his neck right next to his corotid (sp?) artery. He actually had difficulty finding a doctor who would agree to do it since he wouldn't take blood. I knew it was unlikely since he had filled out all the paperwork beforehand, but I did take the time to think about where I would stand if by some odd fluke they came and asked me to give permission to give him blood.
My dad is an adult, it is his body and his health. I may not agree with his decision, but it *is* his decision to make. It would be hard, but I would turn down blood for him if asked because I know that's what he would want.
Now, if my nephew was in the hospital and his parents weren't there to ask and the hospital staff asked me? Absolutely I would give him blood. He's only 3 and to deny him, or anyone, blood that is needed to sustain life before the age of 18 is criminal, in my opinion.

cognac,
I am so happy that your phone call worked out in a positive way giving you someone to support and get support from! I've been worried that since we didn't hear from you perhaps it had turned out bad. I hope going forward your luck always holds this strong ;)
