Thanks so much everyone!
Steve 2 - what fantastic advice! Thank you so much - I will indeed do exactly as you say and have that discussion with my psychologist. Didn't think of that at all - but it seems so obvious now to state that I am not ready to "find the gold in the cup of vomit" (brilliant description by the way!) but need to process the emotion first.
Thanks too Doc. And you are right. I am young enough to still get as much as I can out of life. Stuckinarut2 and I are enjoying exploring new things together - you know, hot cross buns aren't all that bad!! We celebrated New Year's for the first time - had a blast!
Joyzabel - great advice, thank you! We went on an Amazon shopping spree and bought "Exiting the JW Cult". I haven't got to it yet, I'm wading through "Crisis of Conscience" and hubby has just about finished "The Reluctant Apostate". We also bought Steven Hassan's "Combatting Mind Control" which I'm looking forward to getting to but I HAD to start with Ray Franz. Although, that ain't helping the anger much I have to admit!
Thanks dubstepped for sharing your thoughts. That has given me something to think about and I'm looking forward to getting to know the "good company" here.
Confusedandangry - I feel for you. I can't imagine going through this without my hubby. I feel like I'm bursting and if I couldn't share it with him...... I'm sorry that your husband still believes it is the truth. All I can suggest is patience, patience, patience and dropping little comments and questions that perturb you. That is what Stuckinarut2 did with me. He would mention something like the Professor Rama Singh out-of-context quote in the January 2015 Awake and how it was then removed - and leave it with me. He wouldn't say anything further. But what he said, and the fact that it was indisputable, really disconcerted me. But it took quite a lot of mulling before I could dare to question the organisation and let myself research. The other thing that struck me was the Stuckinarut2 was so much happier and relaxed! His behaviour did much to make it easier for me to go through the course I needed to. I suppose you could say that he "won me without a word!" Make sure that he sees you happy and well-adjusted. As Doc said above: the greatest revenge is living a happy and successful life! He will have to wonder......
Love you too Stuckinarut2 :kissing_heart:
