  To Nathan Natas and espically Sarahsmiles.....

  Item #1

  I do not care to explain my marrage with you. You are not family so lets leave my marrage to my hubby and myself. Maybe if you had read all that I've posted then you would know.

  Item #2

  Do either of you know my psychriatic history? NO YOU DO NOT! Are either of you a licenced therapist? I doubt it. Neither of you are my therapist so shut up!

  Item #3

  I am not trying to manipulating my hubby. I do not use manipulation as a tactic. The Witnesses do.

  Item #4

  The elders did in FACT say he couldn't go out in service as long as he is supporting my smoking. We are retired and live off his retirement soley. I do not work so I do not make any money of my own to spend. So sarahsmiles YOU ARE WRONG!

  Item #5

  Maybe you should go back and study with the witnesses because if you were ever a part of their cult your still treating "outsiders" like you were still practicing. If you never were a part of that cult you should join them because you think and react like they do.

  Item #6

  If you are going to contuinue to reply to my posts as you have done in the manner you have please don't leave a comment. I was looking for a teenie tiny bit of support of which there was none in your replies.

  Band on the Run

  I feel most posters supported you to a great extent. Sometimes not hearing what you wan to hear is more valuable than hearing what you want ot hear. It may be uncomfortable. If you want support with no human input, tell your dog. As long as you walk them, put them in your car, feed them, rub their tummes, etc., they are the best support.

  People wish you well. No one is siding with Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, we know from our guts that you are in a bad situation. If you have a therapist for your emotional distress, that is the person to trust. Altho I was raised a JW, I see nothing immoral with cigarette smoking. The cigarette manufactuers should rot in hell, ,though. Some of my most virtuous friends and family members smoke. They are merely addicted not the incarnation of evil. Most people have no idea how hard it is to stop smoking. I don't' think the time to quit is when you are under incredible stress.

  I have to say it is the first time on this site I have ever seen a vulnerable person being treated in such a callous fashion, and I am shocked.

  I don't know, maybe there is some other history that others have private inside information on.

  Regardless, it's no ones business.

  If people cannot say anythings nice or support, then yeah, they should shut up and walk on by, not kick someone in the teeth when they are down.

  The lady is married to what sounds like an ass of a jw, one of a long list of casualties. She is enduring a particularly bad spot at the moment, and she should receive kind words and support, irrelevant of her personal circumstances.

  Kariott, maybe drop the lawsuit idea for now. You'll need all your energy rearranging your life. I wish you all the best in the coming weeks.

  Kari, if any of my direct comments have upset you, I apologize. At the same time, you do run the risk of getting a range of responses to your situation. It is the nature of putting your situation "out there" and seeking advice. There is nothing inherently of value in asking for advice and then making it subsequently clear that you only want certain "advice" which, based on your understandable reaction, is the sort of advice you could have given yourself without asking people's advice. While your situation sounds difficult for you, it does appear like you are making too many excuses for that husband of yours - I know you find it upsetting, but surely he has a mind of his own to decide whether or not to become an active witness. All other posters are wondering - me included - is whether you can kind find a way to use your own mind and try to stop seeing him - and yourself - as victims of the Watchtower.

  oops I forgot

  Naive and Vulnerable - certainly aint none of them neither.

  Don't need no one protecting me then I guess, seeing as I aint no dead on the legs old sheep.

  Thankfully I got my good old worldly training and old fashioned breeding to fall back on in times of need.

  Proud my good parent's brought me up to be respectful, kind, helpful and generous (when i choose to be)

  and to know when and how to kick the crap out of someone when I need to also.

  I'm so happified, loving life, I must be a hippy.

  Whoa Nathan! You and I see eye to eye on so much. I have enormous respect for you too. But your assertion that Kari is a troll seems to me to be a step too far in the absence of evidence.

  Sure, the internet's anonymity increases the likelihood that anyone, anywhere can readily make claims and virtually be whoever they claim to be. Equally, anyone anywhere can be exactly who they say they are, including having integrity and not attempting to con others, right?

  For reasons that many on this site will understand, it is not necessarily helpful to "out" oneself by actual name, address etc., in order to "prove" one is an individual of integrity and not attempting to con others.

  That being the case, I would prefer it if you acknowledged you could be wrong about Kari being a troll - unless you have actual evidence that she is.

  My approach is to take people at their word unless they already have a reputation on this forum for being less than honest or the evidence shows they are dishonest.

  I can disagree with Kari's approach to her relationship without accusing her of being a troll. She may well be a troll... or she may well not be a troll. As far as I can tell at this point in time, I do not see any evidence that she is one (which is not to say she isn't).

  I think a line has been crossed if we accuse another poster of "being" something they have clearly denied they are - unless the evidence indicates otherwise. While being on this forum a long time may confer an advantage of making us less likely to be "taken in" by people's stories, I do not believe that our being on this forum a long time - and being exposed to some dishonest posters - constitutes evidence that Kari is either dishonest or a troll or both.
