It ruined my marriage. We had our share of problems anyway, but my leaving the org made matters much worse. Even without intervention of elders, the believing spouse has to live every day with someone they believe is nothing more than a walking corpse. Every time she said something about the "truth" I would offer my opinion on the subject. Then I would be accused of trying to "undermine her spirituality". I'm convinced the elders were coaching her during the final months of our marriage; many of the things she said and did were very out of character.

And yet "those that God yoked together no man should separate" these shouting false prophets have chalked up one more big negative point and they really think that the Ex JWs are the lowest of the low, they don't even respect their marriages. What a satanic cult, and they expect to be given a paradise!

A world filled with JWs would not remotely resemble a paradise even in the wildest stretch of the imagination.

Indeed they think they know everything but they know next to nothing. Let them make their own little world a paradise before they ask for more.

they indirectly (as always) do influence jws to corrupt their marriages.
last wt-study was about marriage and one paragraph was about someone committing adultery, and his then wife explained how it all started: "he didn't pray anymore, didn't have a personal study and didn't attend meetings".
this way the directly link "not going to meetings" with "adultery". you can imagine the big problem i had with my wife after the meeting, as i "don't pray anymore, don't have a personal study (the way they say it has to be) and don't like going to meetings". thus i'm an adulterer. almost. -

"he didn't pray anymore, didn't have a personal study and didn't attend meetings".
Yes, that is what the watchtower would have its members believe, that everyone who isn't an active JW is an adulterer. They like to think that they alone are holy, while all other people are nothing but demonized, drug crazed, drunken bastards from hell who do nothing but screw and murder all day long.But they don't like to be reminded that some who attend meetings are child molesters.

I was sitting there next to my wife during that study, which I didnt have to conduct due to the special talk, thank goodness. She started a little sobing because that piece of crap article basically said that my dislike of the meetings is a sure sign of impending infidelity.
Guys, they are so afraid of witnesses leaving in droves that they are going to step up their scare tactics. After hearing that article, how many borderline husbands do you think will stay in for at least a while longer so their wife doesnt think they are cheating? I'm betting it will have some impact.
Jeez louise crapadation
