  Who do you love more?

  by serendipity in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my uncle ocasionally complains about how my aunt loves her adult children more than him because she's always thinking about them, worrying about them and reaching out to them.

  i think that's a surprising viewpoint because i thought that most mothers (and many fathers) love their children above all others.. do you think that's true?

  should a parent love their children more than the spouse (or significant other)?

  what happens when the news leaks out...

  i've split from my husband.

  he first da-ed himself, which shocked the nation of family and friends.

  and now, we've seperated.. note: i have, since the da-ing "incident", begun fading, but i live 1000s of miles from the nation of family and friends so they are clueless as to where i am at.. so now that people are hearing that we are seperated (although i have yet to tell any elder, so that in itself should be interesting) i've been getting the weirdest phone calls from wit friends i haven't heard from all year... and this morning, i received an email from an old brother in my parents hall back home.

  144,000, can someone help me understand this better?

  i'm sort of having an affair with a jw.

  it's been a 14 year old love/lust thing that we've never really come to terms with.

  i'm not a jw so that has always been a problem.

  That's very interesting!

  I would never want to be the person that breaks up a marriage and I know he is not the type of person who would cheat on his wife with anyone. When it comes to "us" there is too much history and regrets that we both made the wrong decision 14 years ago. We were young, stupid and didn't know what was important in life. I think I've learned... I'm still waiting to see if he did!

  You didn't scare me off. I'm just taking it all in.

  Everyone has such good advise but it's very hard to follow. I'm following my heart and it tells me to try to get him to think for himself. The majority of these 14 years I have stayed away from him b/c everytime I see him I want to cry. I feel there is something magnetic between us but the WTS is in the middle screwing with his mind. I so badly want to be with him and make him happy that I can't focus on anything else.

  I'm just hoping to learn as much as I can and hope that maybe my little questions here and there will make him think for himself a little.

  But I really do appreciate eveyones input!

  Thanks UncleBruce,

  "Not exactly. JW's believe there is a "heavenly class" of 144,000 destined to go to live up in the sky somewhere and an "earthly class" of millions destined to live on a parklike earth wearing smart casual clothes and eating perfect fruit forever and ever and ever.."

  That belief makes more sense than what I was thinking about... it's still a bunch of bull though.

  So is it only the "good" JW's that get into the paradise?

  NO!!!!!!!

  I was in love with him before he was married. Then we stayed away from each other for about 4 years because it wasn't working out b/c of the whole JW thing. In the meantime we both married other people.

  but I still love him and I know he still has feeling for me!

  He's married to a JW and they have no kids. He believes so deeply that his religion is correct but he's messing around with me. How can he be cheating on his wife and think he might be saved or whatever at armageddon?

  I read somewhere that there is only room for another 3800 or something like that? Is it true that they believe that? If that's the case, I don't think he's getting in. He's not a very good JW if he's seeing me on the sly. I so badly want to say to him, "Are you blind? If there is only limited room left, a fornicating JW probably won't be saved!" (I secretly wish he would just drop everything and run away with me) That probably won't happen but what's the point in being miserable in a religion that you are basically doomed in the end??!!

  if you had to write down just a few sentances about why you left the truth, what would you say?.......

  wholeheartedly embraced it for a few years after love bombing etc then saw widespread hypocrisy.

  How do they treat women? I'm not a JW, this is all a little new to me.

  I didn't realize the congregation was so controlling. To tell you how you can make love...are there only certain ways allowed??!! Does that mean no real fun stuff, only straight to the point? :O
