  .....married with children

  by sadiejive in

  just a few quick questions.... how did you who got out of "the truth" deal with having a spouse who is still involved?

  what did you do about situations involving your children (such as holidays, birthdays, blood issue, religious upbringing, sports-ymca/karate)?.

  since i am the "wife" i feel like i am in a doubly awkward position due to the "submission" issue.

  Is there a burning hell???

  i'm just curious what everyone's view of hell is.

  i know that most of you were at one time jws and i was wondering if you still held to the no-hell doctrine or if you had found scriptural reasons to believe otherwise.

  if the latter applies, would you be so kind as to share the scriptures that have enlightened you?.

  i have had several here tell me that if try to disassociate yourself from the org that you will be subject to shunning.

  i came here by chance...looking for none other than jw material:) i am currently studying with jw's and attend the kh but am not baptized, as are none of the members of my fam...yet.

  i've been studying for almost 4 years with the witnesses.

  i am confused...that's the simplest way of putting it.
