Ain't it the truth, Met? In my current family, a JW wife and her three brats, all are on some sort of mood controlling drug. The two youngest, 15, and 16, girl and boy, have both ran away and even though returned, whether I like it or not, are still popping their pills to cope with life. The oldest, 17, and another girl, also on mood drugs, hates with a vengence, but expects me to cater her every whim.
Currently, there is a 25 year old "brother" sniffing around her. I have come in and caught her, this 25 year old and her brother, alone, in her bedroom, alone in the house, lying to their Mom, saying she is going to someones house, only to discover she went hot tubbing with the 25 year old. But, according to all them, I am the one with all the problems. Yet, no doctor has seen fit to prescribe any medication for me except Lopressor, for high blood pressure.
I guess the Watchtower encouragement of chaperones doesn't apply when you don't wish. Yet, when seeing their Mom, I was in my 40's, we were hounded by others to keep us "pure." LOL, didn't exactly work. However, just before marrying, the soon to be wife had a sudden attack of conscience and went to the elders to report that we had "petted."
Of course, there was a Judicial Hearing. But, in their kind benevolence, we were only subjected to private reproof, after being grilled as to exactly how we petted and if either acheived orgasm. What I found ironic was that the soon to be's conscience didn't seem to bother her enough to report that we also engaged in a little bit of oral sex.
With my blinders full on, I married anyways and started seeing the true light soon after. After a period of inactivity, I went ahead and DA'd, mostly to remove their ability to try to manipulate me by still being known as a dub.
Since, I am lower than whale excrement in the eyes of the dubs, the wifes kids, sometimes even her, but am expected to continue providing for them materially, as needed.
None of her monsters can be bothered with household chores, too busy. She does nothing to encourage them to do them either. They fight each other constantly, slamming doors on each other, not just in their faces, but when they are standing or have a hand in the door. So far, injuries have been minor. Their language is even stronger than I used while serving in Vietnam, but gets real clean when any dubs come over.
For me, I overheard one saying they were moving out in May and am looking forward to the day. I have realized that the Watchtower has too strong a hold on the wife to pry her loose. She is also a weak minded one who wants others to do her thinking and blindly does as an elder tells her too. I seriously doubt this marriage can be saved and even if it could, am not too sure I would want to.
As soon as she and her monsters do move out, then maybe my exit from the cultic arms of the Watchtower can be completed. If nothing else, it will allow me to finally get my house cleaned up and see my daughters and grandsons more often. (nonJWs)
But yet, I am supposed to be the one with all the problems who will be slaughtered at Armegeddon. Go figure.
If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?
