    I had posted a few times since my awakening asking how best to talk to my wife about my new take on things. I was very afraid of handilng it poorly and chasing her deeper into the organization. Instead, she basically said, 'I've been feeling the same way!' That was about two weeks ago, and she's on her way to a non-denominational church right now, NIV in hand.

    She did a ton of research, much of it aided by this group. I know she's come on under my name and chatted with several of you. Thank you for spending time with her, she mentioned how helpful you all were.

    This site was very helpful in saving my family from the Borg. I really just can't thank you all enough, especially Simon for hosting it.

    I left first and my husband a few months later. We had both been thinking about it and afraid to tell the other.

    Good wishes.

    Congratulations Dave

    It was only a month ago that you posted about talking with your wife and how to do it.

    Savor all that's happened to you in the past weeks because rarely do things fall into place so readily if at all.

    Your baby is probably around 6 weeks old, what a joy that must be for you and your wife. You can now raise her together with your wife without 5 weekly fear and phobia instruction classes at the local KH.

    Congratulations from Shotgun

    I'm jealous!

    I've been out since 95' and my wife except for some obvious apathy towards the Organisation is still in. I wonder how many also would leave were it not for the consequences from family and friends.

    Hooray for you my friend!!! You both have a new journey to tackle.

    Lots of them - in every place where people are able to do research - after all, the truth will set you free. But when that is resulting in loosing your relatives and friends, it is obvious that you will be very carefully to let this news spread around.

    Edit to congratulate AlmostAtheist with his wife's freedom.

    Congratulations! I dedicate this song to you and your newly free wife:

    Another One Leaves The Dubs (lyrics)

    Steve walks warily down the street,
    with the brim pulled way down low
    Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
    free thinking ready to go

    Are you ready,
    Are you ready for this
    Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
    Out of the logic the freedom rips
    To the sound of the beat

    Another one leaves the Dubs
    Another one leaves the Dubs
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one leaves the Dubs
    Hey, I'm gonna get you too
    Another one leaves the Dubs


    How do you think I'm going to get along,
    without you, when you're gone
    You took me for everything that I had,
    and kicked me out on my own

    Are you happy, are you satisfied
    How long can you stand the heat
    Out of the logic the freedom rips
    To the sound of the beat

    Chorus

    Another one leaves the Dubs
    Another one leaves the Dubs
    Another one leaves the Dubs
    Another one leaves the Dubs
    There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
    The Watchtower knows them all
    You can beat him
    You can cheat him
    you can treat him bad and leave him
    When he's down
    But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
    I'm standing on my own two feet
    Out of the logic the freedom rips
    repeating the sound of the beat
