  87 year old sister (who's current husband, a total nazi one foot in the grave) was excited to relate that (she heard) a talk at the regional convention said a wife would be happy to meet her ressurected husband and grab him in her arms!

  she reads that as reunion of the married kind.

  she is pooping skittles she's so happy.

  And speculation runs rampant! You know you can get disfellowshipped for forming an opinion!

She reads that as reunion of the married kind. She is pooping skittles she's so happy. Yet she's still married to Captain Bligh. I think she is hoping he takes the long dirt nap so she can have her first husband back now. Don't get me wrong he deserves everything coming to him, but this is a result of New Light coming thorugh a crack in the wall. Its trickling in. What responses have you heard about this "New Light"?

  The ignorant interviewer gave him an out. Its sad when reporters don't do thier homework. It was a golden opportunity to expose the jerks. Now it leaves wiggle room. So much like the Pharisees.

  It's all about mental freedom. No more servitude to a condemning belief system that worships a fantasy being to thier own detriment.

  What are the consequences if a JW files for an unscriptural divorce?

  by Daniel1555 in

  in january my wife separated from me, because she views me as an apostate (to make the story short).. at that time the elders explained to us, that the bible doesn't approve of such a separation.

  i heard from my mother in law, that my wife finally wants to divorce.

  (when i think of how my wife treated me the last year i actually want a divorce too).. now my question to you:.

  Shopaholic - WRONG Though Apostacy is a "scriptural" reason for separation it is not one for divorce.

  Dozy - RIGHT Nailed it.

  When I was an elder we had a sister move into the congregation who was separated from her witness husband. The local elders knew her for years and they appointed her a regular pioneer. The CO rubber stamped it. Then a few months later the elders in her old congregation called upset that she was pioneering. Oddly enough they had appointed him a MS after she left. She was going to divorce him. The CO was confused why all this was happening and said, "Aw just leave it alone. Encourage them to talk but dont remove either of them." Meanwhile someone else would get hammered. Such BS.

  I have a relative that was unscripturally divorced and not living with his ex (obviously) for 5 years. When he married someone else, they DF'd him. 23 years ago now. Not bad.

  Have you been Invalidated?

  of course, being in a cult and the shunning that comes from leaving it is invalidating.. but how many times have we heard "move on" or "get over it"?

  that is a prime example of invalidation.. sometimes this forum, as well as others, can be a mixed bag of validation and invalidation..

  London111 I think that's why I made my comment. There is a difference between moving on emotionally and just living in denial. We did belong to the cult. We have to take more than out bodies out of it. But we can intellectually remain active in fighting the evil we know too well and still "move on". I think if our life becomes consumed by the anti-JW campaigning to the exclusion of emotional well being, we have not moved on.

  Just saying "get over it" is pretty vauge and shows a lack of insight when referring to the Borg experience. But sometimes in other situations I dont feel completely the same. There are some who go on with such self pity about situations that are so transparent as they have described it that saying "get over it" means more than simply moving on. It means get over yourself and your obvious post amounting to a pity party. Either way, I think the point can be made more appropriately by a better choice of words.
