Hello everyone!
Anybody else here married to a Jehova Witness? Am I the only one lol?
Back Story:
-Met my now wife back in 2007 and when we met I told her I was Christian, although not really very strong in my walk, and I knew she had a JW backround. I had asked her if she would convert and she was open to it. Kind of left it at that...
-Fast forward to 2010 and we are now married.
-About 5 years, a house, and 2 girls later she decides to go back to the JW's. I was a bit shocked, but we hadn't really been in a good spot for quite a while to that point. As reluctant as I was to just flat out say "no", which I didn't have a right to anyways, I told her she could do what she wanted if she felt the need. It ended up saving our marraige as she turned herself around 180* which ended up making me want to be a better man for her since she had changed for the better. I didn't know much about the JW's only from what I had heard and was told from family so I didn't view them as something good to be honest. I really think a lot of people don't and might need to try to understand them more and not just go off of these exjw testimonies. Anywho,
-Here we are with now 3 kids. My 2 daughters are deep into the JW life and they love it. I love seeing them so happy to be honest. I love seeing my wife so happy as well. I'm able to gain a better understanding, although still doing more research, about JW's in general by seeing what they talk about in their meetings since its all done with Zoom because their meeting halls are shutdown due to COVID.
I would like to hear some opinions on what they think about all this. I'm one tough cookie to get offended so please, do not reserve your opinions for fear of offending me haha! I seriously do not get offended.
Thanks guys and gals! I want to open this up for interesting conversations also so lets go!
