We live in a time where one person can be as world changing as any event in history.
My ex always maintained that I caused the depletion of the ozone layer.
And yes, I gave up on humanity years ago.

Because I don't like anything about the religion or the people who follow it. Even if it was the "truth" I would still have an aversion to the people.

Please understand I must be cautious. I have "circumcised my heart for Jehovah" and must remain chaste. 32 year old women, regardless of geographical location, might "tempt me beyond what I can bear".

Wow, This is Getting Tougher!
by Franklin Massey ini'm having a really hard time giving my meeting parts.
i had a service meeting part this week and i could hardly get through it.
i am no longer convinced of some of the things jws teach and so i try to either eliminate those things from my parts, or reword them so that i'm not speaking about that which i do not personally believe.

Are the nations and their rulers at fault for not recognizing Jesus' invisible rulership?
by miseryloveselders inthis week's congregation bible study focuses on chapter 18 of the come be my follower book.
paragraph 8 was a real gem, as well as the comments from the audience when going over that paragraph.
i'll type paragraphs 8 and 9 for you to read along with the ensuing questions.. 8. jesus was granted still more autority in 1914. in that year he was appointed as king of jehovah's messianic kingdom.

Can you imagine what would happen if every human suddenly submitted to this "invisible presence" tomorrow? Governments and their institutions would be suddenly disbanded leaving nothing to maintain some sense of order. No more power, health care, clean water, infrastructure, etc.
The chaos would make the JW version of armageddon a joke. If Jesus wants to take over, showing up might be a good start.

I don't know, but will find out ASAP.
Maybe you won't. Since you're not in the will, you may have no actual "right" to see its contents. When my parents died my sisters and I, the executers, dealt with the lawyers. Our spouses had to wait outside. I suggest your wife see a lawyer while you go out for a coffee and wait for her. The lawyer can explain it better to her than you can.
I don't know where you live, but here in Ontario you would have no rights to anything she inheirited from anyone. In the event of a divorce it would be "excluded property" and not subject to division under the family law act. The only exception I'm aware of is the "matrimonial home". You didn't mention how her former husband acquired the property. If he inheirited it he may not have been obligated to leave it to her. In Ontario he would have been required to leave her 50% of it, and only if it was the matrimonial home. That still would not entitle you to any of it.
Personally, I find it suspect that you're so worked up about this after only a week of marriage. It's not exactly typical behaviour for a newlywed.

P.S. It was inquiries like this (about my parents' money and property) that was the straw that broke the camels back in my marriage. That's when I decided to end it.

There are too many variables to give an answer. Were they married, separated, or divorced when he died? If married, was he able to leave the property to his son while excluding his spouse? Was the property owned jointly or did he recieve it through an inheiritence? These are only a few of many variables, and many things can change depending on which province or state you live in and the dates different laws were enacted.
Only a lawyer who has examined all laws, wills, seperation and divorce documentation (if applicable) can give a proper response to this, and it'll cost a lot more than $40. Then you and your wife have to decide if you want to go through the stress and expense of a court battle, if it comes to that, as well as potential alienation of family.

It might be better to not even have the Internet. April 15th WT
by life is to short inok i was just blown away when i heard this today while driving, at first i thought it was the some old same old but then it went on and it seems like it is on a different level.. the subheading is "guard your heart by exercising self-control.
on page 27 par 17 it says "one way a person could wonder into the foolish course of the "young man in want of heart" is by aimlessly flipping though television channels or surfing the internet.
whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.

"Why do you feel the overwhelming compulsion to view porn?" There may be a deeper issue at work.
Having a partner with a lower or nonexistent sex drive could be one issue, as could a partner who uses sex as "currency" or for leverage to gain favours. I have to laugh at my ex who denied me sex for 11 years because I didn't have a "title" in the congregation, and later got pissed when she found an x-rated video in my home office. As far as I'm concerned, she relinquished any perceived "authority" over my genitals when she started to deny me a normal intimate relationship.
She should have been thankful. Most men would have dumped her sorry ass long before I did.
