  My cousin met a man, Jabbar, fell in love with him, had a baby for him and then they decided to get married. That is not to much out of the norm in this time and age, right?
  Jabbar was brought up as a JW. His mom is deeply involved with the cult. His sister does not go to meetings, for that matter neither does he (as far as I know). Dad is not participating in JW things either.
  The problem: my cousin, Cass, has been through a lot with her parents and different ones in her life while growing up. Her marriage is in trouble because of many reasons but communication and sex (the lack thereof) are the main ones.
  Her husband finally moved out of the house after a disagreement between the two of them. She tried to commit suicide, but ended up in an institution for a while.
  I was the only person there for her through all of this. While I was not physically there, I was just a phone call or an IM away. She talked to me and I listened to her. She cried and I cried. I was there for her.
  My Question is, WHERE WERE THE JW'S THEN?!!!!!!
  For some reason, they are now coming around and having bible studies and now she is attending services and the like. She has told me she is looking to get baptized this summer!!!
  Her husband has not come back to her even through her time of depression and attempted suicide but he has not closed the door completely either. He is holding on or should I say keeping her holding on for some reason. (She is the stupid one but don't tell her I said that)!
  If she accepts the terms of baptism and does it will she be considered married to an unbeliever? Does that free her up to celebrate holidays if he want her to do so? (Dec. 15, 2002 WT)
  What are the terms of women divorcing men with the JW's?
  She is falling deeper into this JW thing and I know she will drop me like a hot biscuit when she get baptized.
  Bye- Bye Cass!! I will be here for you when you realize the Truth about the "truth".
  Someone with the answers to my questions please reply.
