How can I help my wife to get out
by Albert Einstein ini am fading out after 18 years in jw cult (pioneer, ms, elder etc ...).
my wife was born in jw family, very strong family bonds, very loyal to jw.
at home we can talk pretty open, but she is so blindfolded, so loyal, not willing to admitt jw could be totally wrong... is there any chance to help her step by step?

What do you believe is the main reason people become JWS ?
by Homerovah the Almighty injust thinking back on my own family that started with the jws in the early 50's, .
both of my parents came from different religious backgrounds one was catholic and the other a anglican.. what probably sparked my mother's attention, who was the first to be in contact with a jws, .
was of course the destruction of the system of things and a new paradise for those that god approved.. and i'm guessing that this what catches most peoples attention just as it did to my mother.. i'm also assuming that this is most likely what grabs other people as well.......any comments ?.

Jehovah's Witnesses member gets 18 months for sexually assaulting girls
by Dogpatch injehovah's witnesses member gets 18 months for sexually assaulting girls http://www.canada.com:80/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/story.html?id=55699668-7192-45c0-bd2f-7fd57b481d07betty ann adamthestarphoenix.com.
friday, november 21, 2008. almost 19 years after elders of a jehovah's witnesses congregation learned a member of their church had groped and fondled two adolescent girls, a queen's bench judge sentenced the man friday to 18 months in jail.. "even if the sexual assault did not include intercourse, in my opinion a sentence of imprisonment is necessary to denounce this type of crime upon children and deter others from committing similar acts," justice neil gabrielson wrote in his decision handed down at court of queen's bench.. the 45-year-old man pleaded guilty last month to two counts of sexual assault against the extended family members between 1987 and 1991, when they were between 12- and 15-years-old.. the man, whose name cannot be published because it might identify the complainants, was also sentenced to two years probation, during which he is not allowed to be alone with anyone younger than 18, except for his son, who is 16. .
he will be added to the national sex offender registry for 20 years and his dna profile will go into the national data bank.

Just received the latest Free Minds Journal...thinking of sending pg.11 out
by whyizit ini've had a few light and heavy conversations (always peaceful, always "asking" rather than telling), with my jw friend.
i just received the latest free minds journal and wondered about sending "anonymously" page 11 to her.
it gives all the flip-flops of what a generation is, according to the wts.. we have touched on a variety of subjects that she just knew the wt could explain, but alas they could not!
