Many Witness men I have met are gentle and kind. My son is a Schizophrenic and he is generally gentle and kind unless he feels threatened.
This ex of yours is a Witness, a Schizophrenic, and cruel. I think his accusations and his bizarre behavior is a mad mix of all three factors. I was part of a divorce support group for many years in my church, and I'm a former battered wife. The random violence, the accusations and hatred, are all familiar to me. I have met the spouses of men like you describe, who use the bible as a club to force submission.
Some people are just plain mean. My insight in to my ex is that in a way I was his alter-ego. As I was beaten down, he hated himself more and by extension, me. I was evidence of his failure and his meanness.
In your case, I think your ex used the religion and the bible as a way to enforce control over you. Twisted.
He also full heartidly claims that he is the son of God. |
Schizophrenia |
He believed that all women are "sluts" |
The Watchtower Society (WTS) subtly offers examples where men are led astray by women. |
all women are only %75 complete, |
According to the WTS, women are the "weaker vessel". Your ex used this as an excuse for his prejudice. |
| all women are in league with the devil | Schizophrenia |
| women should be submissive etc. | Pure WTS |
If I didn't memorize scriptures from the bible after reading them then I was in trouble. I wasn't allowed to speak or do anything without permission etc. |
Classic abusive behavior. |
He has told me that he is a minister sometimes at one of the local Kingdom Halls. |
I call BS. He likely had a speaking part here and there, which is expected of every Witness. |
