I had a couple of door knockers call a few months back..and raised the subject of the sale of their hall. They replied the money is going to be used to build more halls in Africa. I kid you not.

Reflecting On The JW Version Of You
by pale.emperor inlately i've been thinking over how far i've come over the last 2.5 years since leaving the cult.
when i first left i remember not knowing who i really was and what my beliefs and values were.
previously my values and beliefs were dictated to me the the governing body in watchtower magazines.. i'm politically active, being a member of a political party and i'm even considering running in my local election in a few years.. when it comes to religion, im an atheist who has little time for superstition and "god did it" answers to complex questions.

the jw version of me:
i was a lazy person--no ambition--no drive. spent several years as a pioneer, which brought out the worst in me. i think associating with other dub pioneers just made it all a pointless existence
as regards marriage--well--yes--it suited me--mainly because it removed the need to chase tail.

How is your physical and mental health? Are you still working or retired? Are you active or sedentary? Do you take vacations and enjoy seeing new places? Do you read and associate with people to keep your mind sharp?
physically--overweight--retired--sedentary--stay at home type.
my wife is in her 40's..she occupies my time and energy.

Yep, that's exactly it. She has a non-JW boyfriend now and they sleep over at each others houses. Nobody knows because she hasn't told them. They just assume she's not going to meetings for a bit but will "come to her senses".
well lets hope she doesnt end up --up the duff. that will give "they" something to talk about.

in the UK..quite frankly the law is is just about as unhelpful as it gets with regards to fathers in a split up. generally speaking--the kids stay with the mum. which means the kids stay with mum--in the house. Till the kids finish full time education. so--dad moves out., thereby losing his home...but still ends up paying for it. and it doesnt matter a toss whose " fault" it all was.
the watchtower --of course--are well aware of this--and thats why so many men are PIMO--they know they have everything to lose. happened to me--happened to my son.
add to the mix..if the mum is unable / unwilling to work...and gets social security ( AKA income support )..then dad is introduced to a whole new depth of pain....the child support agency.
the CSA basically is a tax on the dads earnings--to offset the social security paid to the mum. but it varies according to his earnings--even though the money paid to the mum stays the same. i know men who are hit for far more than their ex--and the kids get.
if theres a morale to the whole mess--its guys--dont get married--if you must--dont have kids CERTAINLY NOT if you are involved with a dub--that just makes a bad mess ten times worse.
