My marriage has been hitting rocky roads lately because the in-laws know my stand as far as what I feel about Jehovah's Witnesses. Every 3 days or so they send my wife a letter full of propoganda and how she needs to come back home, yadda yadda. It truly is recking my marriage. I try to talk to my wife now but it's like talking to a wall.
Anyways, heres the latest crap fed to my wife 2-3x a week. I don't know what to do at this point. My wife has seen all the stuff thats wrong, but her line of reasoning is "i dont want to risk it, because what if it is the truth I will never get to see my sister alive again" bla bla bla. She just cant get over that hurdle that its not "the truth"
Anyways propoganda filled letter follows:
Dear xxxxxx,
I was thinking just the other day of how its like to be you, when you were here, having the illnesses you've had to deal with. Headaches one after another. I don't think you just told me that to get out of doing things that I wished you would do. I guess it just seemed easier for you to sit at your computer and play games after working all day (*** This is what my wife does when she gets home from work, she complains that she has to work to HELP support our family) Bi ibe wabts ti wirj nire after being constantly on the go all day. I shoul've realized that instead of wanting you to do other things. And being sick makes it even more plausible that that is what you should do, rest.
I realize this: that Dad didn't have to amek you go to work full time, although eventually you wanted to money and him pushing you convinced you that that was what you wanted to do. It was a desire. I would have hoped that you'd want some part time job and gone out in service and actually liked talking to people about what we've learned. You could've had the energy to study and come to crave the know how you were aquiring. Developed a longing for the word. 1 Peter 2:2.
We had the circumstance where you could've went out in serive instead of working all the time. Dad was not looking at things spiritually. He always was too anxious about people paying him for the expenses and money matters. He had not progressed to the point of looking at the tings of that sort spiritually. I should've helped you realized that you didn't have to go that route. The route to crowding out spiritual things. I think I did try to help you realize that you didn't have to work full and we could've had the enery for hte weekend to go out in service.
I dont know if being afraid of Dad made you feel coerced to do what he said since you told me he bullied you as a child. Now I think that has spilled over into your married life and you let "ROFLCOPTER" bully you into the same routine of working the energy right out of you so that nothing else can matter but being a work horse (*** Guess she wants us to be homeless and serve Jahooboo rather than both work to support our family***)
Things can get bad, and then they can get worse. But do you realize the power of Jehovah's spirit and how it can help us accomplish remarkable things? So many times Jehovah has helped me get through things that the world crumbles under. I've endured such emotional trauma with Jah just taking my hand and leading me about with his comforting words and guidance to know what to do about situations that have come up.
I always knew when his word was guiding me, because I studied what he wanted us to know from the bible, watchtower and awake, and when I applied the appropriate council it always worked for me and things went well. Jehovah interacts with his people that way. It's more wonderful than anyone could imagine that in this crumbling world we have such a powerful God on our side should we decide to exercise the faith in him. Havent you had just enough of knowing what the world is about YET. (*** love the guilt trip she just tryed playing on my wife here) Aren't the dirty words and dirty actions of people in the world repulsed you any? Hasn't the selfishness, lieing and staeling among other things just been enough for you to stand anymore? How bout the jealousy, argueing, and distrust (*** personally havent had anyone of these probs with our worldly friends othe rthan cussing)
I've tried to help you with your relationship with "ROFLCOPTER" but if he is responsible for putting that pornography on my Myspace bullitain board, or his sister is, a marriage cannot endure when a husband is looking at other naked women and lusting after them or trying to make you do things that other people do. (***Accusing me of crap i never did, I dont use myspace) I hope to jehovah that you don't have anything to do with those disgusting sites and if you do that you'll do the first thing you can to get out of it. We can be slaves to our own bad habits, but jah is stronger than it all if only we see the badness in it and want to be free from it and learn to live lives knowing what real love is about.
I think the thought of you returning back home if necessary is hard for you but beleive me if you decide thats what you have to do then I could make it better for you even if I have to make if hard on Dad for your sake. (***Great urge my wife to leave me) In every circumstance we'll have problems but if we have jah on our side the troubles will be easier to get through and we'll come out better persons from them and then those problems will be gone and we'll be strong because we handled them his way.
I'm sorry for writing you that angry note on myspace but you know people who don't stop doing bad things have no future. But you can have a future if you get away from the world.
Love mom

And its crap like that, that shows up to the house day after day and has my wife thinking of leaving me now since I'm a horrible wicked person. I don't treat my wife unfairly or unjust, I don't abuse her, I do my best to make sure we have everything we need to live. But I guess I'm just a wicked guy because I turned my back on "Gods Whoreganization." Welp, chalk up another letter for the trashcan. Too bad I can't catch them all, at least this letter was mild to the crap she wrote about me in the past.
