    Oh My Gah! - LOL
    Thanks for the welcome...

    Well my story is ...

    My husband is going back to the KH after being disfellowshipped about 7 years ago.
    We have been married for about 3 and a half but have known each other for 15 years.

    When I knew him before he wasn't a witness . Fast forward to 2003 we reconnect and he said he used to be a witness, Im like okay, automatically assuming he would never go back, who would go back after being dissed like that right .. boy was I wrong. I am going through so many emotions right now, I'm angry, disappointed and sad. I make mention to him how this is going to affect our marriage, he is like how? I'm like um, I love holidays, I celebrate the hell out of my birthday and you wont be doing that, you will be gone from me and your son more days a week (his response .. you should come ) .. I just don't know how to handle this, he has talked about going back before and never did. Now he is back, he even shaved off his beard, which ticks me off to no end .. Ugh!

    Then he says, just come with me, you will understand more, I mean I have been to the KH before and whatever no big deal, unfortunately if I knew he would go back I may not have married him. I can totally believe that witnesses should marry witnesses, and not to say I think they are a cult, just Cultish LOL. its hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that one of the people I admire the most in the world believes this crap, and I know they arent ALL wrong, but dang, some of the things they believe are just stupid. He already went Sunday and Monday. Then he said if you have any questions you can ask a brother, I said, why would I do that, I dont know them ,I am really disgrunteled, I can hardly talk to him, and he is already talking like a witness, I express my opinion he is like, dont let Satan get in your head or something like that, Im like, just cuz its not what the witnesses think doesnt mean its Satan, Im an extremely independent thinking individual and my son will be so as well. I knew too many witness kids when I was a teenager, I will NOT allow my son to be put through that ... I have a long road ahead. reading here has helped, I am just trying to get the strength to continue to be myself and not be the actual demise of my marriage, because under all that brain washing I do really love him dearly ..

    Sorry So Long
    Thanks Again

    Dont apologise for being long. Life is LONG!!! Your story is just a very small part of it.And a sad part right now. I am so sorry to hear your husband is returning to the borg. Does he know about this site?

    You say your son will NOT be one. Watch it!!!!. Your hubby will try to take over his mind.& may succed
    Just a little advice from an old woman ( I am 80) & was a JW for 25 years.

    Dont fight about the religion especially in front of your son ( how old is he) ..
    Yes you have much reason to be troubled my love ....I have another friend in your position He married a woman who had been raised a JW was out of it- then after they married-she went back, He too is suffering as you are.
    Keep us informed .Take care _ Welcome to this family of Uncondtional love (((HUG))

    Thanks Mouthy
    No he doesnt know about this site. My son is 2 years old. I am extremely opposed to it and will fight with all my might, he will have a conscientious choice. But I do not want him raised as a witness.

    Im so sad right now. My husband keeps saying, its not a big deal, next time he says that Im going to tell him to ask one of his brothers about being married to a wordly woman and the troubles it will bring

    Well I will tell you right now what the Brothers? will say. They said it to me when I first became a JW.My hubby was not one. they opened the bible at 1st Cor 6: from vers 10 to...16

    I believed it & stayed for 25 years hoping that would happen....Dont tell him to talk to the brothers? they are trained parrots -hundreds of marriages are broken apart because of this WOLF in Sheeps clothing..

    Dear GG -

    Welcome to the board. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I really feel for you. If I married someone and they turned JW or some other wacked out religion, I am not sure what I would do. Personally, I wouldn't even like it if they became a mainstream religion but the JWs are all so all-consuming, and pushy about their beliefs, as you know..... Gosh, I don't even know what to say to you.... only, I am so sorry.....

    You may be tempted to join the group to keep your marriage together. Don't - only join if you believe. If you join to please your husband, you are going to be miserable and the hell you and your son will pay will grow 10 fold.

    Hugs to you u ((((((U))))))

    P.S.... my lord, I am sad for you...... I really, really don't know what I would do.

    keep us posted and talk to us if you need to. There are a lot of good people here.
