    hello folks,

    greetings from sunny U.S.A. good to be here among the lively and thoughtful conversation. I can tell there are lots of stories, baggage, and healing...

    i'm not JW, i'm not even an Ex-JW, but I'm married to an ex JW. too many stories. sounds like Jim Jones' cult or even branch Davidians. that's when religion doesn't do you good anymore.

    see you on the boards!

    Welcome lost soul. Stick around and visit awhile. We'll be interested in hearing about your spouse's ex-dub stories.

    thanks all...for making me feel welcome.

    my wifey does post here, but I won't let the cat out of the bag yet. she's a live wire alright...! she's got lots of stories.

    Not being a wiseass, but I've recommended her to see a counselor to help her work through her stuff and heal.

    she's very headstrong and doesn't listen. in the meantime her therapy consists of hitting Ebay.

    any tips for getting her to counseling? I can't even get her to go the the gym. I must have no backbone or something. then again, being bruised by those idiot watchtower guys, she has a problem with any kind of authority ....

    Welcome, the JWs are certainly a highly manipulative and exploitative cult whose main strategy is to ruthlessly deceive often with gross lies and ensnare the unaware.

    Welcome

    I am glad to see you love your wife and want her to get some "help".

    Needless to say, this religion does induce a lot of low self esteem on women.

    Let her go to a counselor when she is ready. Or the gym, as well. Meanwhile...take her out on dates and get her out of the house....Make her feel loved and important.

    Keep posting....and keep us informed and if you need help.
