I feel sorry for the guy as he's still in denial or what's going on.
There is no possibility of wts falling apart any time soon, nor will they ever change their view on apostasy! If anything they will make things worse!
The guy said too much to the cult lawyer. The cult lawyers don't care about anyone nor do they care about someone who's life was destroyed by their organization. Just because the lawyer can sound sympathetic on the phone doesn't make him any more caring than when JWs are at the door listening to the householder talking about something other than supporting the wts.
He should get a lawyer before the final divorce, and get counseling so he can be mentally and emotionally ready for the divorce and try to get the custody of the kids. Forget the wife, and I know it's devastating for him but that's where counseling should help. Cult members like the wife may free themselves but waiting for such a time is wishful thinking and unrealistic. His interests should be to benefit himself and his kids. He needs to realize that he was stuck in a cult for a long time and playing nice with such assholes just doesn't work. Allowing the kids to go with the wife without a fight because you're nice, is a BAD idea!! You are basically allowing the cult to hold your loved ones hostage and program them further to hate you. I don't know how old his kids may be, but due to 10 years of payments, I'm guessing one is about 8 which is still too young to understand what's going on other than trusting the mother who is under cult control and trusting assholes in the KH who don't care for them nor their mother. If he plays nice and allows the mother to take the kids, the kids will be ruined just like many have been because of the wts.
On another note, I'm surprised there aren't more people who go "postal" on elders or any of these people who destroyed their families.
Also any non-JW lurkers who are dating JWs should really think about this video and what kind of cult they're getting involved with. You never know what kind of noo light those old douchebags in Crooklyn will come up in the future as they can always come up with the idea that non-jw mates are bad association, should be divorced. I'm sure they can use Israels examples leaving Babylon or any other BS example where Jews had to leave their mates to put nation of Israel ahead of their mates. These sort of cults love control and being married to a cult member is a big unknown! You don't know what the future noo light will be that may affect you and your relationship with the cult member or how it will affect your finances or your kids.
