we have so many wise and well read people here on jwd so i thought that i would just toss this out and see if i could get some new enlightenment on this.

are there any other references that i have not seen in the scriptures ( and i have looked pretty hard for this) that would allow divorce that are considered 'acceptable' ?

am i just spinning my wheels in that foolishness still?

Well, then we MUST get our hands on that book as people have to know about this aspect.

Does anyone have or know where we can locate one of those???

Is it true? Are adultery or death the only scriptural escapes?

This is just amazing. As I read along I think that I remember something to the effect that if a man does not care for the spiritual needs of his family then that is cause for divorce also. I am not certain when they slipped that one in but probably one of their later rules.

My concern now has obviously changed regarding that foolish organization. I no longer care about their rules but to really understand what the scriptures say esp. because so many things are not correctly translated in the NWT . It just makes it confusing. After much thought I have decided that I do believe in a personal creator and until I find something that I might hold more trust in I think that I will try to do things appropriate to the scriptures. That is why I ask the above question. Do all bibles back up that viewpoint? Or did the dubs twist the scriptures here as well.

If I am sounding confusing I do apologize.

Thanks guys, I do not know why I feel that is still important and NOT for the elders to be involved I think that it is just something that is still stuck in the shadows of my being.

Moanzy and Balsam ... I want some of what makes you strong!!!! In fact, make mine a double You are right though. I do not give a flying damn about the 'elders' or the religion I just sometimes would like to know that I am going through life with as little damage as possible to the people around me. I guess that I have to work through this damn guilt.

I divorced my first husband many, many years ago and the elders told me not to but I had more guts then. I also had babies that were getting hurt by him . That makes such a difference.

I appreciate all that answered me. Going through some really difficult decision making times

it's been a long time since i last posted, but something recently happened that is making making me heartsick... i just learned that one of my children is engaged to be married.

all of my children are grown up and when they reach around 18 years old, decided to become jws.

they were quite young when i left the organization, shortly after which my wife and i separated.

I am so sorry. Yes, there are many of us that suffer with this situation. Just today I decided that I had to hear my youngest sons voice. So, I called his cell. I thought that even if he was angry at me for calling him it would still be his voice but he has caller ID and no matter how long I let it ring he would not answer it. I did not leave a message. He would have deleted it anyway and I never would have gotten a return call.

I think that this is amoral, unimaginably cruel and I wished that there was someway that all effected by this BS could come together for class action suits against those imbecilic, geriatric cretans that spend their days tottering around the drafty tower.

Isn't what they are doing illegal?? In some form, in some countries? It is alienation of affection. Even the third party in a divorce can be held accountable.

You will find consolation here by people who walk in your footsteps.

Take care and welcome aboard.
