I've had a few pet names over the years, but I really can't remember many of them. The most recent person I remember calling me a goofy name...can't remember what it was, but I know it had something to do with my forgetfulness.
No, I'm not joking.

I never faulted her for leaving him, even before that statement.
Good for you. It's hard enough to walk away from a marriage and have no support.
I wish my kids could see it this way.

It took a long time for me to trust again, a very long time. Sometimes I feel thats why I have failed in other relationships!
I will never forgive or forget!
Ummm....Buttlight..... Lack of 'forgiveness' on your part in this circumstance is entirely forgiveable!!! What he did, however, is not. Don't EVER believe you have a problem with being forgiving--that you are somehow 'forgiveness challenged'--because some a**h**** violated you in the worst way. There is no reason for you TO forgive him!!

That makes me feel sick. If he got that angry that he was screaming I have to wonder what your mother may have gone through
That was my thought exactly.

The only problem is, Internet is also very limited in some respects: Too many don't have easy access to Internet, or Internet access at all, but they may have public television (which is piped in for free). I was one of those who lived without Internet access for most of my JW years and most of my single years since.
Not until I went to school again (and had to learn computer alongside my subjects) did I get access, and then really only for school. I only got it in my home about a month or so ago, and may not afford to keep it up once I move in a few weeks.
Public TV and other FREE mediums are essential forums for the apostate view to reach as many people as well. After all, the WT uses resources (mags, etc.) that are FREE for the public to obtain. Too many don't get the apostate message because Internet is the most used medium by them (as far as I know).

But the gain is your peace of mind, your well-being, your sanity. It's hard but believe me, it is worth it
What Lady Lee said here is SO true!!! As much of difficult challenges as I'm dealing with now...it is nothing compared to when I was living with him. Like I told my son when he demanded I apologize for leaving his dad: I can't say I'm sorry for leaving him. I can't. I'm not sorry! I'm not sorry for leaving that man.

Should I mention my marital rape to my 18-yr-old son?
by J-ex-W infirst---thank you, lady lee, for providing the articles on rape.
the one on marital rape is especially catching my eye now.
now, the question, and i welcome any serious answers: my boys are all seriously alienated from me by my abusive jw ex-husband, who has physical custody (because of my physical health limitations).

Well, I guess the apostates/ opposers better get cracking to PROVIDE that view of the opposing side, once 'KNOCKING' does air. Too many people go the other way and think, "Oh, this group has been publicly maligned. Poor group!" [I know, because I was one of those woefully under-informed people.] Does anyone have means/ wherewithal to produce such a video rebuttal?

1Cor.7:15 "But if the unbelieving one proceeds to depart, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not in servitude under such circumstances, but God has called YOU to peace."
See...and here's the sick twist: Because I left my abusive (rapist) JW husband, and later quit going to meetings--when it became painfully evident that the WT attitude/ stance is to protect the abuser and leave the abused 'exposed to the elements'--I have since been labeled the 'unbelieving one who proceed[ed] to depart,' calling the abusive husband 'to peace.'
How's THAT for sick and twisted?!!!!!!
NLQ [newbies, lurkers, and questioning]-- They get you coming and get you going. For the sisters especially,
THERE IS NO PROTECTION WITHIN THE WATCHTOWER HALLS!!!!!!!
If you are being abused in a JW household, you CANNOT depend on the congregation to support your safety and well being. You WILL have to seek outside support and GO AGAINST everything you have been taught to do as a good submissive JW to save your own sanity and save your own health.
It is NOT a matter of saving your own body and, therefore, losing your soul. If you are stuck in an abusive situation, your soul--the spirit of who you are!--is alreadylost!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to seek OUTSIDE HELP in order to reclaim it.!!!!!
