comfort for those with a "stricken spirit"
Karma is a wonderful thing, though.
The woman has her share of heartaches/headaches/serious problems with illegitimate children, abusive partners, big time in the poor house.
The parents sure forgave her, but her siblings, immediate relatives, and other friends will not give her the time of the day.
She's sure paying for the irreparable damage she did. What goes around, comes around. What a wonderful concept.

comfort for those with a "stricken spirit"
I personally know of a case in which a rebellious teenager claimed Repressed Memory Syndrome of past sexual abuse at the hands of her father.
She and her siblings were taken away from the home, and the poor man/family was subjected to the greatest of scrutinies and almost convicted the father if not for the excellent investigative work of social workers, detectives and lawyers. By the way, his defense fees put the family in the poor house big time!
When the daughter turned 27 years old and she was done ruining her adult life with illegitimate children and , she came out in public and said she had lied about the whole thing as a way of getting back at her parents whom she thought restricted her a lot.
The horrible damage had been done and there was no taking it back. However, as parents usually do, they've forgiven this evil human being for what she did.

The only thing constant is change.
The sooner we all understand this, the sooner our lives will move forward and perhaps improve if we've learned something from the previous changes.

Blondie,
You really need to modernize your information on the WBTS. All things evolve. All things.

having read a recent thread on "mixed" marriages between active jws and non-jw (either faders or df'd) two things stood out for me.
first, there was a profound underlying sadness on the part of the non-jw poster (as there may also be on the active jw mates part) on the reduced intimacy of the relationship, both mentally and physically.
not being in this situation, but understanding what makes a marriage successful, i cant help but ask a rather harsh question....can anybody in this situation realistically envision how such a marriage can last in the long term?.
.........And another thing!
As time goes by, we've become more and more friends. We love to travel, have fun together and we both make each other laugh pretty good. Plus, to top things off, we have this wonderful intimate life that the WBTS might frown upon if they only could plant a bug in our bedroom.
We truly love each other. The WBTS has become in the last couple of months just a religion.
I guess my influence in him is making him realize that a religion shouldn't come between two people that truly love one another.

My husband is a firm JW. However, when I look around and see the terrible things other marriages are struggling through, I'd rather deal with the religious issue anyday.
I do a bit of compromising once in a while. I think he understands my religious struggles and he does quite a bit of compromising on his own too.
Provided he or I don't commit the mortal-marriage sins of infidelity or physical abuse, we'll continue to be alright.

while i didn't like being a jw there were 1 or 2 good points.
what was your favorite thing about being a jw?.
mine was all the parties and social gatherings we had.
The best thing is that I don't have to deal with smokers while around JWs. I hate the smell of smoke!!!

Oh boy!!!
More scare tactics on the part of the WBTS.
