Update:

Talked to the wife and expressed my fears and asked her questions.

1. Have you read up on The Watchtower organization and founder?

2. Are you concerned that the potential for abuse is there in the Kingdom Hall because of the Watchtower organizational setup?

3. Do you know who your Elders are? (That would predict your future). Have they ever dis-fellowshipped anyone there before? Why? Worst case scenario, what happens if only one of you gets shunned, what would you do?

4. Will we still be friends as I am “worldly”?

5. DH shouldn’t proselytize to me as the way he’s doing it is actually making me turn AWAY from the JWs.

6. I’m sorry I’m bringing this up, I’m just so concerned I love you I love you I love you!!

She TOTALLY understood and had NEVER (!) done research on the organizational set up or knew who the Elders were in her Kingdom Hall. She understood that my fears were of them being under some outer Control. She said all organizations have problems. I said that when I Google “Protestant” I don’t get “Cult” like I do for JW and that’s why I’m concerned!

OK, thanks for letting me get this off my chest!!
