  You discovered that your spouse had spent years lying to you?

  They had an affair and had been lying about it.

  How would you feel if all the time they were married to you they had a lover on the side?

  If they spent an enormous amount of time and energy in covering their tracks so that you never found out about the lover?

  That they took your money and spent it on gifts for the lover?

  How would you feel if once you found out about it they turned around and blamed you?

  Or said you were wrong and just misunderstood something even though you have pictures to prove it?

  How would you feel if in spite of all the years together and all the plans to live together forever they turned around and said you were the one to cause the trouble and tossed you out of the house?

  In spite of all the evidence I just don't want to believe that the one person I thought I could trust has betrayed that trust. Divorce happens to "other" people. I have lived with this person for so many years and I just can't afford to lose everything I have worked so hard to build. I don't want my kids to grow up without their father.

  I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the point.

  This is how I felt when I found out about the WTS and the lies they told us. I was devastated.

  I didn't want to believe that all the love I had been told was mine turned out to be false. All the protection and support I was told was mine was all false. That all my friends and even family refused to discuss his affair and didn't believe me and stopped talking to me. That everyone really believed I was the one in the wrong.

  And because I didn't want to believe it I started out to prove it was wrong. No my husband didn't commit adultery. But the WTS did. The UN, Mexico/Malawi, altered texts, saying one thing and doing another, and so many more things.

  And all the time saying I didn't know what I saw or read.

  That is how so many of us here feel about being lied to and betrayed by the WTS.

  What about you?

  How would you feel if you discovered the WTS had really lied and been hiding it for decades?

  A similar analogy can be made to JWs who vigorously defend the Watchtower.

  Imagine a couple you know.

  You are aware that the husband is leading a double life, pretending to be the ideal husband while using his wife's money to wine and dine his mistress.

  You try to tell the wife what's happening and she's indignant.

  Not only does she refuse to look at the evidence you are showing her, but she condescendingly lectures you on how to develop a marriage relationship as great as hers.

  I was sort of hoping that active Witnesses would be responding to this. Most of the rest of us get it already

  Well, maybe they'll at least read it Lee. I can't imagine you would get any good responses from them.

  no probably not but you never know what might help someone

  If you're in denial (as most JWs are), you read this and think, "These people must have terrible marriages."

  In other words, you don't get the point at all.
