My wife talked with LITS today . She is somewhat stressed, but doing fine, hanging in there with her situation. My wife and LITS talk 2 to 3 times per week on the phone. So we keep in touch with her often. Sometimes my wife & I will put it on speaker phone and chat with her together. She realizes all you fine people care about her too. If all of us keep encouraging her as a team- I'm sure it will go a long way towards building up her self esteem to handle her challenges . Keep up the good fight people

life is to short
Thanks everyone for thinking of me. I truly hate this religion so much. It causes such harm to families. Thanks you mouthy so much for your call it meant a huge amount to me. I have worked a ton these last two days and have not been on the board.
I am just so tired of fighting about this religion with my husband he is off to the meeting right now. We talked a lot Sunday night and he said he will never leave the "truth" no matter what it comes before me his wife. It always has nothing new there.
He has been a lot nicer these last two days but he just does not get it. Family, the wife and husband should come before others. I do not care if he puts God first but that is not what he is doing he is putting the religion, and the people in it before me. All the pain of sitting in the car for hours on end waiting for his elders meetings to be over. All the hatefulness of the other woman in the religion toward me and my husband siding with them over me. He told me Sunday night that he does not see them being mean to me. That they do it when he is not around which is somewhat true and he just has a hard time understanding that they can be as mean as I am telling him they are. So I his wife am lying?
Why would I lie about it I asked him and he said maybe I making it out to be more then it really is. OMG! He said that the PO's daughter is not as strong as I am and just could not handle stress as well as I can. I am really loosing my love for him. It is so sad.
I told him Sunday if it were not for the religion we probably would have had a good marriage and he admitted that was true. He also admitted that when we were first married he only gave about 30 percent to our marriage most of his time was given to the religion.
I told him when he asked me to crawl on my hands and knees for two years when the brothers was threating our lives, I lost a love for him that I have never gotten back for him. He told me that the same thing happened to him when I was suicidal dealing with my parents and the JW's that were not leaving me alone.
I just do not know where my marriage is going. It is hard to just walk away.

life is to short
I wanted to add that I am going to my counselor on Friday. I am going to be talking to her about all of stuff that happened over the weekend.
The problem is no one can tell me what to do do, to stay in the marriage or not. If I leave I will not get much, my husband made that clear in a way Sunday night, it will be a huge fight. I have worked more then he has all the years of our marriage. When we were first married and trying to pioneer and he was the only elder I worked two and three jobs to support us as he was hardly working for the first four years we were married until we went to Bethel. He has worked full time since we came back from Bethel but I still work two jobs. I have my own cleaning accounts that I spend over 45 to 50 hours a week doing plus a part time job. The older I am getting I know I cannot keep cleaning till I am 70, when we first came back from Bethel I was working 60 plus hours a week for years. So to loose it all to leave the marriage is a lot to think about. Plus I have quilt my husband is so much older than I am how fair is it to walk out now? I wish I had done it 15 or even 10 years ago when he was in his 40's or 50's but now he is in his 60's, I am still in my 40's life just seems so unfair.
My counselor has told me to really think it through. What love I had for my husband is leaving more and more. I mean really going out in service with two people who stood up for a child molester and then telling me that I have no right to be upset over it.
Then my husband told me the true reason the body of elders deleted him was because of me and I am not in subjection to him. That was the finale verdict that the elders threw at him when they deleted him.
Feel the love of this religion.

So glad you filled us in. We were concerned. If you want an old lady's advice? NO! well ya gonna get it
TRY! not to talk about the religion at all to Hubby!!! he has his mind in their( WT) hands.
As for leaving your hubby TRULY think about that... I suggest you stay & teach him what love truly is.
You dont hate him, it is what he believes you hate.And my darling Hate destroy's the hater....Start to
think of LITS!! do things YOU like to do, stop going to the KH if it gets that hate rising to the top.
You have gone through a lot... Start putting it all at the feet of the TRUE SAVIOR ,,He WILL repay!!
Smile alot,( that gets hubby wondering) but please look after yourself.
Now remember LITS you are getting this advice from an 83plus old woman,who had her head up
her rear end for 25 years.Is now VERY free from the WT YET!!!! I spend my life ,money,time,trying
to expose the wicked ways of the Watchtower. Do you want to end up that way>>>NO! NO !NO!
So at 40 start LIVING for yourself & remember Jesus said HE died so that we may live MORE abundently
So go live it happily now ((((((((((HUGS)))))))LITSMouthy
