  Welcome stray and I hope to read more posts from you. If you want to help your family and wife awaken, I would recommend that you read Steve Hassan's books (e.g., "Combatting Cult Mind Control") and visit his website www.freedomofmind.com. If you want to help your wife awaken more, you can try to get her involved in fun activities that will get her to met and make friends with "Worldly" people. The more time you spend with your wife doing fun things will help her believe that you love her. You could also write anonymous emails to your family and friends like I wrote about in http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/211893/1/Youe28099ve-Got-Mail-TM.

  By the way have you seen the video of Ray Franz on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c6I0fjiYNU&feature=related

  Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

  Welcome. I love the way you write such a bluntly accurate depiction.

  I am "driven". The same sense of purpose and honor that kept me from giving in to "Satan's" sweet little "temptations" all of those years is still somewhere inside me.

  I certainly relate. As much as I tell myself to move on, I am still fuelled by the same passion that made me a very active JW, but this time it is directed by my far more knowledge than in the past.

  Just an update on stray. I've heard from him via PM. His life lately is going exactly how you would expect it to go; you all know how the indoctrinated react to this stuff. He'll need our support even while he isn't posting, so give him a shout out in this thread if you can.
