  Just a suggestion......

  We girls are trained to pick the WTS over YOU!

  Regroup and fall back...

  Say something like you feel like you never made the 'truth your own'........ this is just what you were handed from birth

  Ask her to help you discern things.....figure it will draw yall closer as a couple..... create a couple's study night of older publications.

  This way she is learning alongside of you and yall can bounce things off each other......

  Here is some links to get started (yea it is daunting but it is progressively better than sitting at your own house with your mouth shut....(besides men like to lead; playing second fiddle to the WTS will mess you up in the long run)--- maybe we need a permanent 'I have been drinking this afternoon/night thread for you boys (gals) to post drunk gibberish....

  Just making Diamond's 'clickable'

  Hello and Welcome Red Piller...I can relate to your indignation at the Org....we probably all can. Some good advice here for helping your wife see the wood for the trees...and I would say its better to get your child/ren out as early as you can or you may end up losing them as adults when they are forced to shun you which is the situation I'm in. Stay strong.

  Welcome Red Pillar! That site really helped me see what the organization was really about too.

  Welcome Red Piller! Thank you for sharing your story. It's a familiar one to me as well! Only my husband is not sitting on the fence - he's choosing them so far. Ahhh! Certainly infuriating once you find out you've wasted so much time in a lie. Take your time digesting things and please do keep quiet with others. You just never know who will turn you in. There are good people on here that can help you along the way.

  I wish you and your family all the best. Hang in there!

  Welcome Red Pillar - sorry for your situation, it really is horrible. I remember the red mist that descended when I found out about the lies.

  If your wife is on the fence you can drip feed her information and hopefully she will see the lies to.

  I think we all have to accept that when we leave this cult there are going to be some casualties and that's what's so heart breaking. There is no such thing as leaving this cult with dignity.

  Crisis of Conscience

  Welcome Red Piller!

  Pay close attention to the advice you get on this site. Especially that regarding patience. Every outcome is different.

  But I know in my case, once I started to come across more calmly in my feelings, my wife's demeanor changed. She has actually softened her stance. Not that she was hardcore, but she did not want to listen to anything negative about the org at first.

  Now she actually admitted that she gives thought to what I say and does not want to be a blind follower. She is interested in examining her beliefs a little closer. I'm hopeful - but again, every outcome is different.

  I wish you the best. And be patient, please. Especially if your wife is not full out condemning you, or regardless.

  red, I'm on the same boat.

  One piece of advice I would tell you is: keep your mouth shut, but do find a way to give up the MS load.

  I go to meetings, smile, and just find peace knowing that now I know the truth about the troof.

  Once I gave up my "privileges" I found the true meaning of Jesus telling his disciple of his load being light
