I said something to my wife. I've been really tolerant for two years but am ready to enter a new phase of saying it like it is. She is ready.
A friend of hers came in from out of town and they caught up on all the gossip. So much whispering. Thats one thing I forgot about. In an effort to live up to an impossible way of life, JWs have to whisper about so much becuase they don't want anyone to know that they are just like everyone else.
Well it just so happens that their friend, sort of mine too, left her husband this very same day. They chatted about whether it was his excessive drinking or did she hook up with someone else. They also caught up on all the other failing marraiges and sad stories of their congregations.
Later that night as my wife told me the details I couldn't help but snicker.When she asked why I said well honey you can take these stories and stick them in that brochure about how you are the true religion.She said don't pick on her. I said I'm not, I think its great that you guys are just like everyone else.
I honestly think she agrees with this. She didn't get upset at all. I hope that something will get through.
Thanks for listening.
