    Hi All,
    I've been reading these forums for a while. Now I've posted, it would seem polite to introduce myself.
    I am not nor ever have been a JW, but my wife was interested throughout her life, and had some attendance as a teenager.
    Last year she began attending the local KH, and got baptised during that time.
    Before, but mainly after, being baptised she began to notice many things that didn't agree with her expectations of the religion. The issues mounted, until it got to the point that she was motivated to buy Raymond Franz's Crisis of Conscience. With the help of that book and these forums, she recently disassociated. I'm sure she will post here too, when she feels ready.

    Great to have you here. I always rejoice when someone escapes the WT...Sounds like your wife did the sin of thinking independently GOOD FOR HER & YOU!!!! Because she would have cut you off from birthdays, Christmas, & a few other no-nos . Welcome aboard

    Welcome.

    I always think it must be awful to be the partner of someone who then decides to join a fruity religion, because it afects your life and relationship so fundamentally.

    Non believing partners were always treated with wary caution at our KH - be really creepily nice in case they can be 'won over' but dont actually spend any time with them in case you are seen as weak for getting on with a non believer.

    So glad your partner got out.

    Welcome to the board.
