Whatever else you do, you might want to register the new documents in all of the local hospitals (if they allow such things) or assign a non JW friend to have a copy of your directives (without your husbannd knowing) so that if there is any issue, they can intervene.

No wonder most of of you guys think us jw's are idiots
by nowwhat? inas a teenager back in the 1970's i once asked the question, how can they declare peace and security if the king of the north [soviet union] is to storm with many chariots?
i got the "what kind of question is that?
" response.. then in the 1980's i said "if it wasn'nt for the 1914 generation dying off, i don't see the slightest indication that babylon the great is going to be destroyed anytime soon.

JW's are not idiots. Most of us used to BE JWs. What JWs are is lost, confused and deluded. Just wrong. We have all been wrong about a lot of things in our lives-sometimes we see it immediately, sometimes we need a little time to grasp it and some of us hang on to factually wrong ideas until the day we die.
That is just human. There are a lot of factors that make us blind/deaf/and clueless, some of them are overcome eventually, some of us are just too damaged-so that in some ways we function beautifully and at high levels, and other areas we seem learning disabled. We all have a weak spot. As most of us were at one time JWs, we have a clue as to what that place feels like.

I live in Houston. My husband had had this flat since 2008. No one who speaks Spanish has lived here since then. Our upstairs neighbors do, but they also speak English perfectly-so far as I know ALL my neighbors is perfectly capable of holding a conversation with any English speaking visitor-even a debate. The kid upstairs, Pancho, doesn't speak Spanish as well as my husband does, and Spanish is my husbands 5th language!
In any case, I don't know why they keep coming back for spanish (nearly 6 years now!) and why they don't just TALK to us-we are right here at the door. . . man, back when I was young, we understood the value of someone opening the door-if they spoke only a LITTLE English, we'd try to communicate. What's wrong with this group? Why would they not have any English literature or a spiel for people in English when they obviously speak it as well as I do (we are all native English speakers!)?????

THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.
1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

Yeah, you might want to talk to her about her intentions while letting her know you are there for HER before the org.
Also, when I was feeling neglected by ex, angry, made, crisis of faith etc-I did some stupid things that I regret. Some silly things that I am a little blushy about and some wrong things. Mid life crises can go either way, but I think havig a supportive spouse that sticks close would be the best thing. And I don't care about smoking so far as religion, but it is trashy and unhealthy and makes you stink. Help her find a safer way to rebel against the organization. Like buying lotto tickets or donating to the salvation army or joining the YMCA or something. And join, donate and scratch those tickets right along side of her, ok?

WTS Legal department ghouls
by stillin inthe society has certainly had their share of financial setbacks, especially in the pedophile department.
the legal department must actively save face and do damage control!.
i can't help but wonder how many wts attorneys are flying around to be present at estate hearings, bequeathment hearings, probate court, reading of wills, etc.

stillin,
You are a nicer guy than I am. Or maybe you are a schmuck, but this is my thought-half of it is yours no matter what. If you predecease her and leave a a trust for her living expenses with the remainder to your children at her death, then the WT doesn't get it, your kids do and your wife, that you love and respect, is taken care of properly. Otherwise, your kids could get cut out altogether in favor of the WT and previous agreements are made to be broken (wills are frequently updated and they SHOULD be as circumstances and religions change frequently.
My mom, who was a stay at home mom, has the majority of her estate from my dad tied up in an annuity that goes to the WT when she is gone, with a small percentage(abt 20% total) to my siblings and me, equally.
She told me recently that she was upset that we kids didn't pay for her life insurance premiums a few years back when she was asking us to. At the time she was really depressed and morose and thought we wished her dead so we would inherit her money. OUr thought (3 of us who could easily have paid the premiums) was that she would get mad at us and accuse us of wanting her dead (which she already accused us of after my dad passed anyway). Or, she would hurry it along some(bad depression and she talked of death a lot) We just figured there was no amount of money worth that grief.
She kind of got over the depression, but with this latest development, I am really glad I haven't been paying premiums all these years for her to give all her life insurance to the WT organization-cause that is what she would have done, and then if we complained, she would REALLY be able to say we had only done it hoping she would die. Really, there was no way we could win with that one. I was sad about this latest development though-not because of the money per se, but my dad would just be so angry that what he had worked so hard for-his wife and then his kids-was all going to the relligious organization that he really did dislike. He was nice to JWs when he saw them, but he really had nothing to do with the org. at all. He would be so pissed. I have always maintained that it is everyones right to do what they want with their money, but this bothers me on the principle of the thing.
My mom probably has at least another 20 years barring something awful. I'd rather she went on some great vacations while she is so healthy and feels good.

I'm sorry, I mean really, they took it out of the Bible. They aren't the only bible version to do that in the NWT, btw. Just FYI.

I would say the OT version because in the NT, John 8:7 has been removed.

Please be super careful. Mixing drugs and sex (any kind) is risky legally and medically. That is just not a road you want to go down. I have lost three gay friends one at 22(suicide after arrests on prostitution charges/drug problems) one at 25(AIDS) and one at 47 (liver failure). I also know people (gay/straight)who have rich and productive lives-but drugs are not a part of their lives. Take care of the substance abuse and learn to deal with your sexuality in a way that you can live with yourself. Keep working hard to improve your situation. It can get better-it can be GOOD, even GREAT. Make great your goal. No matter what. The JW thing is a no go. The LDS thing-not working. If you need spirituality, find it in a place that you can work with who you are, where you are.
Good luck, best wishes.
