  Those With JW Spouses - How are you Coping ? Any experiences ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wanted to address the folks on board here who really have a challenge on their hands.

  and i feel it's good for us to acknowledge the great job many of them are accomplishing with the pressures they have on them living with a spouse in a mind control cult.

  i know it would be so easy sometimes for some in that position to say , " the hell with it !

  I am looking forward to my wife reading these threads one day. I also am a bit scared that she will be concerned that our marriage was discussed here, but I still look forward to having to explain why when she reads it.

  
  Very similar situation for me, except I am a never-JW UBM.
  
  I have found JWD to be a lifeline that keeps me sane in many ways. I have learned so much, not just about the WTS itself but about the real, individual people it grinds up and spits out. It is also freeing to just be around others who understand all this crap, because no one else in my world does! I've found much help and encouragement here, and try to give the same where I can, but I also am very careful about the words I write and share, because I hope with all my heart that my JW will be here some day in the future. So I always (or at least usually LOL) post with that in my mind.
  
  As for coping, my way is one day at a time, one inch at a time, slow and steady. There's no other alternative available to me really.

  I noticed it too, because 7 is my favorite number! Not that it's ever done me any actual good or brought me any actual luck mind you, but I am still drawn to it for some reason. So I like the picture of the 7's on the page of 7's and thanks for posting it LOL

  there is a blood drive at work this coming tuesday.. i'm scheduled for 10:00am and this will be my first donation.

  does anyone have any suggestions to make it successful?.

  i volunteered about 2 years ago but got sick the day before and so i was declined.

  I'm sorry it didn't work out that you were able to donate blood. There do seem to be a lot of exclusions that don't make any sense, though I'm no expert on the matter. It sounds like this was important to you; have you considered other ways of contributing? I imagine there are other volunteer opportunities involved with blood drives beyond the actual donating of blood, and if it's an important issue to you, that could be something to look into. Just a thought, and kudos for wanting to donate and feeling excited about it :-)
  
  Edited to add: I'm not able to donate either, for different reasons, and understand what you mean about the feelings of "rejected." If this is an important issue to you though, I do hope you'll investigate other ways to become a part of it.

  The elders came last night and i stood my NEW ground!!! be proud!

  so yes, the brothers came for "encouragement" and of course, my husband is out of town on business... so it was me and the kids.. so i did let them in, i like these brothers...these are some things we discussed.... 1. i went over how that stupid "obey" email got all this started, got me to divulge to my girlfriend how i was feeling about the whole religion.

  about how at the end of the call she said that she can't associate with me anymore, and then right after that call/ 30seconds later while i'm crying a pioneer called and asked "do you consider yourself one of jeh witnesses anymore??

  " and i thought that was crazy for someone to try to trap me when i was sitting crying on the phone, upset with the last call... i told them that for all purposes i am already dfed since noone will talk to me anymore, and only one friend called to see what happened, everyone else just listened to the gossip of whatever spread, and wrote me off even though i'm technically in good standing.

  i told them.... you're setting up the questions! of course you have the answers, i dont know if you have the right questions!

  
  This observation is brilliant and fundamental
  
  Congratulations on your courage and your clarity, I think the way you handled this was absolutely awesome. Regardless of what happens next, you've surely left those guys scratching their heads and wondering which way is up. Freedom to think what you want and say what you think is so empowering; I'm not surprised you feel spunky and brave and alive, because you ARE all those things!
  
  Beautiful job all around, and a strong, powerful example to set for your kids as well

  ok i'll start.. 13 y/o or so.. once it rained for a month straight.

  we had an old dry tank dump in the back that filled up with water.

  there were tons of frogs that showed up and started breeding.. i was looking at them on the edge of the water through my .22 scope.

  BabaYaga, thank you for posting those additional links! The information and photos on the George Adamson site are remarkable, and I like knowing that the original video is true and genuine. This thread has brought some happy smiles to my day :-)
  
  (And John Doe, thanks for that video showing the opposite end of the spectrum -- that person is a complete dumbass and serves as a nice juxtaposition )

  hey folks,.

  just curious what your take would be on this.. i have a witness friend, who happens to be a radio announcer (dj) on a rock station ( yes i know, that is weird in and of itself).

  anyway, he wants to leave the "truth" but family keeps him in.

  ::Your friend is married. If he wants to date or pursue other women, he should become unmarried first.
  
  Wow... Way to put yourself in someone else bedroom there prudie... How do you know he and his wife aren't swingers? How do you know they don't regularly have threesomes with this woman? How do YOU know that his wife hasn't been sick in some way and WANTS her husband to have someone to mess with while she's unavailable for sexual play?

  
  Prudie? Please read my post again. I didn't "put myself in anyone's bedroom," in fact my response wasn't about sex at all but about relationships. I posted my OPINION about a set of circumstances that were described on an Internet message board accompanied by a request for thoughts and opinions from others. Of course it is fine if you disagree, but I don't think you need to be nasty about it or call me names.
