Borg court: 3rd session & verdict (page 2)

dissed

Well, that chapter in your life is over and now, expectedly, you are not feeling so good. But this will trun out to be the best thing that has ever happened to you.

When the CO kicked me out, I went down into the dumps for awhile, but now life has never been better for me, my wife and daughter,

If I ever see the bastard, I will sincerely thank him for saving our lives and all the others we have to save from the JW's.

Hoping for the best for you and yours,

Dissed (John)

Not to minimize the pain I know you must be going through, but... CONGRATULATIONS! I am actually quite jealous that you are officially no longer a JW!

And the pain will heal.

Hi Christopher, thinking of you, hope things go ok with your wife and your tax return!

Zoiks--not the time for pointing out my sci-fi issues. They were my only friends when I was on the inside, the movies. With some exceptions, that hasn't much changed.

Given how much of a pain doing these taxes has become now, I really do think she ought to do hers separately. Especially since she's acting all paranoid about my efforts so far.

Ok, you didn't tell me this in your phone or email messages, so let me get this straight. You tell your wife that you are df'd, bound for death at Armageddon, which of course, is right around the corner. And she asks you about taxes? Dear heart, are you sure she's a true believer?

I'm sorry, but I find that very funny!!!!! Oh, and I'm no tax expert, but I don't think you can direct deposit a refund check that's in both of your names into an account with only one of your names on it. If it hurts you too much tax liability wise to file separately, then just have a paper check mailed to you.

I am not worried about you anymore. I was right, as usual. You are stronger than you thought, braver than what you believed, and so, so smart. You've come such a long way in a short time. I can hardly wait to see what you'll do with a real life.

Call me. I'm off tomorrow until 7 pm and all day Tuesday.

I'm sorry you're having to go through all this, but I'm impressed with how well you handled it: honestly and with dignity, even while knowing how it would end with the JC, and the problems that the DF brings to your marriage.

I'm no expert on the tax and legal matters, but if you suspect that she's planning to act it's time to get all your financial documents in order and save duplicate copies in a safe place (besides your house), ASAP. Doing the taxes offers a good opportunity to do this. As you said, you could come home any day to find your clothes in the yard, new locks on the doors, and a process server handing you legal papers. If it should come to that (as you apparently expect), you will need those documents for the court filings. I'm not saying to be defeatist or to do anything provocative, but do be prepared just in case.

Others have seen this through, and you can make it too!

You have stood up for your principles and shown dignity in the face of provocation not just from the JC but from your wife also. It is good that you have a therapist who can help you work through things over the next few months as you will need an unbiased ear to help make sense of this nonsense.

If you previously agreed a 60 40 split on the rebate then stick with it. Ask her why she wants to change the arrangement now?

It is hard to know what will happen with your wife, I do hope she comes to her senses. You have done alot to show your consideration for her and her feelings and hopefully that will count for something. Just one observation don't you ever talk to each other about your feelings and relationship? It could be in the scope of the narrative there is no room or you wish to keep it private but you seem to be concerned about what she is thinking and feeling and the quickest way to know is to ask her.

Christopher,

Please accept my apology. I in no way meant to come across as insensitive to your plight. My small attempt to lighten your mood was ill-timed at best.

Again, I am sorry.

Stephen

You have a PM.

Christopher, I have followed your plight with interest. I think we all know deep down you can never win in kangaroo court. I am so pleased you have a therapist, you have worried me at times. You seem a really sound guy, just under pressure. As has already been said, enjoy your freedom, remember that the JW-cult is just a pimple on society, it is full of poison and needs to be squeezed out of existence.

I am sure that soon I will have the borg cubes closing in, I don't think I have the courage to face them, I will refuse and take the consequences without a fight. I admire people like you who in my opinion take a more courageous route.

After a few pleasantries the conversation gets down to the litmus test- 'do you recogize the FDS and the organization as the sole channel of truth'.
