A&W--One of the best days of my life was making the decision to get a divorce...mine should be final in Nov....lots of celebrating going on in VA when that happens.

You are resilient and have an awesome sense of humor...good things to aid in your decision being successful.

The thought your husband shared with you, was something I have heard used before in that situation. I think it is just the common background, last ditch effort. Can't really blame him, it is the reason most Witnesses live each week and their fall back for all things depressing.

Strength to ya.

Tell the hubby, if the end were imminent, the FDS never would have changed the doctrine that
people who lived in 1914 would still be alive. Some will be around until aboout 2020, so the end
must be after that. Say you cannot live on the edge of your seat for at least 13 years.

Wow, that is sad. But sorta not. Your life will go on, beautifully I might add.

I believe that the application of scripture about the behavior of people before 'the end' applies to JWs-- "having no natural affection".

Congratulations on your vast future prospects!!!

(((((A+W))))), I know how that feels to acknowledge the end of a marriage and to be at peace with your decision.

Take good care of yourself.

Snoozy

Well I was one of those that stuck it out with a JW (and his JW family) until he died 5 years ago. Trust me in saying it wouldn't have gotten any easier. I am glad I stayed but believe me it was hard. Daily I had to hear him recite how close we were to the end. When he was dying it was hard to show support because I didn't believe what he did.So he got closer to his JW family and further away from me . I couldn't tell him I would see him in paradise...I couldn't give him the support he needed when he was dying...but I'm glad his family did..it made it easier for him.

I think you are making a wise move..if you had stayed the depression would have eaten away at you.Who in their right mind wants to be around someone that tells you constantly how god is going to destroy you because you are not a JW?

I loved him dearly..I miss him terribly and always will. I would take him back in a minute just the way he was..but I would probably be a raving lunatic by now...

Snoozy...

My husband came to my store today telling me that we are so close to the end now, he can tell by all the changes in meetings.

Hmmmm, are the changes in the meetings one of the biblical "signs of the end" that Jesus foretold? He couldn't possibly be "going beyond what is written", could he?

In 1986 we "knew" we were at the "threshold of the great tribulation" because 1986 was the "International year of peace". We all knew it had to be true, because a visiting "annointed one" said so in a "special talk". 21 years later this "threshold" still hasn't been crossed.

So sorry about your marriage breaking down.

good for you! It's hard to be the one who makes the tough decision to go through with the divorce.
