Well, I had an interesting discussion with my wife the other night.
Her Birthday is coming up soon and I know she doesn't 100% agree with the GB stance on birthdays although she follows the direction.
So I brought the issue up and showed her how Job's family celebrated their birthdays and how the society has deliberately obscured that fact esp with the Revised New World Translation.
She was extremely upset and pissed because she saw it. She didn't want to talk about it, and I thought that would be it. I thought she was in cult mode.
But the next day, she brought it up and told me she had been researching what I said and that I was right. She also said she researched 607BCE (which I mentioned weeks ago that I had doubts about) and that she couldn't in good conscience say the Society was right. There was no evidence.
She said she was kind of mad at me for showing her this stuff, that she wishes she didn't know what she knows now.
I told her that I felt exactly the same way for weeks, but now I'm glad I know.
She then said, "As long as we live here, we can't stop being Witnesses. It's too complicated. We'd have to move away."
I said, "Well, let's take it slow. If it comes to that, it comes to that. But for now, you know that you shouldn't believe everything without proving it to yourself first."
She felt better about that, and we moved on to other topics.
I never thought in a million years that my wife would have brought up the possibility of not being Witnesses before I did, much less that she'd be open to these discussions.
