There are 2 different things that need to be separated.
Your marriage.
The JW's.
Suddenly becoming involved with the JW's will not improve your family.
Your wife was unfaithful. Satan had nothing to do with it.
The first thing that should be addressed is: Why was she unfaithful?
She was unfaithful cuz she liked the attention this guy at work was giving her.
RNS, I am concerned about your kids. You should start planting strong self esteem in them, and teach them to think for themselves.
omg, rural NZ?? LUCKY!!
Hi rathernotsay.
If you wanted to watch a documentary about life as a jw and the effects of it, this one by an exjw has received plenty of good feedback. Of course, there may be a good one elsewhere that is free.

Anyway, here's one recent example of some of the 'encouraging' statements that your kids hear at meetings..
Cheers guys, I guess ill just go to this memorial and wing most of it. Ill stick to my wife and kids like glue and try to only talk to those who I already know. Good to know about the bread and wine thing, although ill be tempted to eat and drink it just for a (I wont but ill be tempted).
@ faye... yep it truely is a wonderful place. Having travelled alot it has me very grateful for my country. We are very lucky.
@roberto... yes she was, however she was going off the rails when i met hwr, she got pregnant, defellowshiped, we married, she was reinstated. We went through the same thing with her accepting me as I was, and I not standing between her and her faith.
as far as our kids go they are living reasonably normal lives. I celebrate their birthdays and xmas etc and they will participate fully at school. our 4 yo is even about to start his second season of football.
