    Hi MTM and Welcome to JWD. So glad you found us. I am sure you know by reading the board we are a diverse kettle of fish,but we have learned NOT to judge anyone & we have UNconditional love for each other
    I was in it for 25 years. Made 10 people JW's ( NO!! NOT GOD! ME!) Worked like the dickens because I truly believed it was the only truth, was kicked out when I admitted I NEVER believed Jesus came invisably in 1914.....
    I too have lost family on account of the shunning but my family has increased with this lot on board who I now consider my adopted kids, grandkids, friends,

    Keep us posted.

    Grace Gough otherwise known as Undeserved Kindness, or Mouthy, Granny, ( or a pain in the neck!!!!!

    Welcome! I too lurked for ages before posting, in fact I made my first post yesterday.

    Fortunately, when my husband showed me a few truths about the organisation (particulary the UN issue), I reacted positively and with some more research on my part it has taken me to where I am now - an active fader. I really hope your wife reacts well also.
