It must have been painful to sit through all that drivel. It pained me just to read it. I hope that one day your wife realizes what you did for her.
District Overseer says "Christendom thinks they're spiritual because they can speak in tongues, so what if I said I like cheese in italian, does that mean I'm spiritual just because I can speak another language?! No! It's non-sense"
I've been a Christian for 3 years and I have yet to hear someone speak in tongues. I've always heard that it was a gift that God would give someone if it was needed (like the example that Stephen had). I've never heard of it referred to as an indication of spirituality. There are churches in the pentecostal faith that do that but I'm not sure how much of that is actually real versus emotion or put on for a show. IMO, those type of churches always struck me as a bit unbalanced. The only nonsense is that the DO would make a statement about "Christendom" when he's probably never set foot in a Christian church.
If we visit apostate websites, read thoughts outside of what the governing body says then we are eating at the table of demons. "Sure it's food" he says, "But it is rotten and will poison you"- Once again my wife is looking at me with the evil eye now, whispering: "the knowledge you have is from the table of the demons"
Real truth can stand up to criticism. The very fact that they tell you to avoid websites that are critical of their beliefs speaks volumes.
He says married people stop texting other married individuals that are not your mate, I wouldnt be texting your MOMMA! Stop texting others while you're out in field service, just wait until service is over to talk to them, if you have a profile on a social network YOU ARE BAD ASSOCIATION. (I have a myspace page for my music, I have a page on Facebook, as well as Twitter) - Once again my wife is looking at me crazy.
Now I know why my mother-in-law suddenly deleted her Facebook account.
That did it, my wife did not hold my hand during the prayer (didnt really care anyway) and she saw I never bowed my head or closed my eyes during the prayer which was a first for me, so she didnt speak to me at all for the rest of the day, until we got home, she saw she had a flat tire and asked could she use my car for work the next day. Then she says "I'm changing and this Circuit Assembly was powerful and it came at the right time so it must be Jehovah letting her know that she will soon not have a husband because of the way I have been acting"
I agree with the others that you should be kind and considerate but STAND YOUR GROUND. Don't let her walk all over you. You are not a doormat. I would definitely follow OTWO's advice and tell her that the bible expects her to be a good wife whether you are a believer or not. If she wants you to follow all the rules than she needs to follow them herself. Right now, she's just being a hypocrite.
