Crap, just to be a brat, tell her you've got SEVERAL girlfriends where I'm at... And from the # of people who stated that they are from here, you DO!! ('Course, we're all platonic girlfriends....)

Well, since I've been bumped from page 9 because I'm posting comments...
Y'know, Dan, if that was MY wife - especially from the comments she's made to you lately - I'd drag her thru hell and high water before I'd just roll over and let her have the kids...
Others here on board have made excellent suggestions for getting legal advice. FOLLOW IT!! (er, 'please'!!! Forgot to put on my 'nice' face...)
Give her hell!! 'Course, as Yknot has suggested - and others - maybe you ought to go back into the religion for a while. At least, long enuf to keep your kids...
Again, keeping in mind that I'm a she-devil... I'd go rip-roaring back into the Watchtower Society - to all outside appearances, wink, wink...
Then play the "headship" card on her. Complain to the elders. Let them know about her getting drunk.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - getting her disfellowshipped just might be the 'reality check' that she needs...
And if you're gonna talk about how much you love her...??? DUUUUUUUDE!!! TOUGH LOVE her!!

Wow, you seem TONS better today buddy! I was fretting about you all day yesterday and a good chunk of this morning. You'll have your ups and downs but I'm actually quite glad to see you getting angry. You truly don't deserve to have anyone - especially your wife - bad mouth you. Please remember that!!

Zid, I am not much for going back to the mud, but even I got enticed by your idea. She wants a JW- give her one. Give her one autocratic, no-nonsense, by the book..org comes first one. Demand she pioneer. Feel obligated to report any wrongdoing to the elders...and somehow let it become public knowledge to the point where judicial action needs to be taken- all in the name of keep God's org clean of course. :)

Dan made a good point earlier that's actually backed up by some things the Watchtower has said!
"The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life", 1968, p. 13: "Since we do not want our worship to be in vain, it is important for each one of us to examine our religion. We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in full harmony with God's Word, or are they based on the traditions of men? If we are lovers of truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination."
"Is This Life All There Is?", 1974, p. 46: "It is obvious that the true God, who is himself "the God of truth" and who hates lies, will not look with favor on persons who cling to organizations that teach falsehood. And, really, would you want to be even associated with a religion that had not been honest with you?"
JWs, there's only one way to find out if the Watchtower Society has been honest with you, and that's to check it out!
If Jehovah wanted to show you that the WTS is NOT the FDS, that it's NOT the truth, what would He do to show you?
1. He would bring information to your attention that's unfavorable to the Watchtower, maybe through a GB member who left because he had a crisis of conscience.
2. He would bring someone into your life who would show you falsehood the Society has published in its literature.
3. He would expect you to be a Berean and CHECK IT OUT, not bury your head in the sand because the Watchtower tells you that the words it wrote above apply to everyone except them!

Damm, I hate coming in during the middle of the movie... I'm now on page 10.
CyberJesus made some excellent points, and I've been wondering about this, myself...
"You are not losing no soulmate. She is just in panic as much as you. PERIOD. Now think.. If she doesnt really love you.... do you want to live with someone who doesnt love you? but if she doesnt love you why do you consider her your soulmate? There is something wrong with this picture. ..."
Oooo, yeah, she's NOT your soulmate!!! IN aces and SPADES!!! And there is definitely something wrong with this picture..
And as Wasblind said,
"Why would she want you to go back to the KH for her, If she don't love you anyway ? Why would she expect you to waste your time on something you don't want to do and it won't save your marriage either way.
I can't speak for all women, but the average women ain't gonna choose being alone over a good lovin' man. Just like one poster said earlier, ever since eve, we crave the opposite sex. There is a third party in this. I don't know who or what it is. But it's there. ..."
Ooooh yeah... That was one of my first thoughts when I first began reading about your situation...
Another point... If she moves to Denver - and you can say it, that's where I reside - if she moves to Denver with a JW sister, then the sh*t could start hitting the fan a lot sooner in her life, than I thought...
First, she has to acquire gainful employment. Not easy, with a 5-year-old and a newborn...
Secondly, she has to establish herself in a new congregation. I'm sure SHE thinks she'll be able to play the "poor mother alone/martyr with apostate husband" card, but - here again, if you GO BACK TO THE MEETINGS, you can put that little scheme of hers six feet under...
Yeah, something stinks to high heaven in this. Her actions and attitudes are very difficult to resolve with the information we have at hand. Also, as to having a "soulmate"?? I think that there are MANY SOULMATES out there for each one of us... This one's a dud; get your kids and pick another one...
