    Hello there. I'm just introducing myself before I get to know the site a little

    I'm "Libelle," I'm a pagan married to a man who's now a JW. He was not this way when our relationship first started. He studied years before and then after we'd been together a number of years got back into it. As a matter of fact it was a catalyst for why we got hitched, officially. We have kids - several of his, and one together.

    Needless to say, our household/family/relationship is rather complex, and well I constantly question the sense in staying in this relationship. I'm just looking around more sites to gather information.

    It's so nice to have you here.

    You've come to the right place to find support - Lord knows you're going to need it!

    I can only imagine what your household is like. I myself am a Christian UBM and I find it rather funny almost to the point of being absurd that I am considered the UBM by them when I believe in the same Bible as they.

    You'll find atheist and agnostic UBM's here too.

    Really just seeing what I can see, I've heard there are both ex and current JW's around. I'll keep the warning label in mind! I guess I"m also looking to see if there are more UBMs out there, or even any locally.

    Thanks for the welcome Snowbird.

    Yeah, Gary it is wierd. Actually I spend alot of time keeping my beliefs underwraps which is wearing on me. He's been baptized for 2 years now.

    Yeap Jamie, I'm on JWS.

    Thanks for the welcome Nelly.
