    Congratulations Subytrek, and welcome to the board.

    I admire men in positions of responsibility who, based on a good conscience, decide they can no longer serve in that capacity. It's easy to stay put and go with the flow!

    Your wife's openness to examining 'the truth about the truth' along with you is a remarkable thing.

    All the best to both of you.

    JGNAT: What does she think about that?

    That is probably the most effective means of opening someone's eyes.

    Ask THEM the question and make them consider how to answer it and research it and let them discover on their own that it is a unanswerable question (unless they face TTATT).

    If you try to TELL them, they will usually "shut down".

    Welcome, subytrek!

    It must have been a difficult desicion to make, but I'm glad you decided to step down. Spending more time with your family and working on other things will prove much more beneficial. Luckily, your child is very young still. You were born in but it is now in your hands to make sure that won't happen with your baby.

    Your family seems like they will be much more receptive to TTATT than many other JWs. Best wishes for you and your family.

    DOC, I'd love to take credit for that question, but it was Gayle, not me. I've got a lot of confidence that subytrek has got it together.

    Welcome to our world...of freedom. Sounds like it will be no time at all until you are out completely. It is worth it, believe it.

    Welcome to you subytrek.

    'although I have lurked here for a couple years.......my curiosity overcame my fear of so-called apostate website so here I am.'

    There are no doubt many other JW elders who are visitying this website with similar doubts and likewise curious. To all you elders who are lurking we say welcome. You'd be surprised how many of us here are very much like you.

    So just as subytrek did, step up and lets' get acquainted.
