    Welcome Julia! Nice to have you join in and post. I wish you the best of luck with your husband.

    You know from reading on here that there may come a time when he doesn't want to hear any "negative" stuff about the WTS. Just be ready for it so he doesn't surprise you out of left field.

    Also, I've found that witness spouses are like clock pendulums that swing back and forth from spiritual to not so spiritual.

    It's like a huge fog clears and you're looking around thinking how on earth did you not see it!!!

    Keep working at it. The next level is understanding that that Christian Church down the street is also in the fog.

    Hello Matey(is it alright to call a lady from Australia, Matey?),

    You are really not very different from many today who attend the meetings due to their loved relatives and mates. There are many moments that I find it hard to tolerate some of the programs, and my wife also gets the same way. We just carry on, and hope.

    So you've been a Lurker for many years, eh? So was I.

    Say Hi to Olivia Newton John for me, eh?

    Hi Julia, is great you have learned TTATT, and is better to know that you love our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Remember that you don't need to be part of an organized religion to have a relation with God and Jesus. If you can free yourself completely from the WT it would be great, but beware of Jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
