  Here's what I know about you and your husband:

  You allowed me to look at some photos during a private conversation we had a while ago. You are much better looking than he is.

  From previous public posts of yours, you've complained that your husband isn't as financially successful as you are and that he expects you to work and do all of the house work. You know the TTATT, while he refuses to use logic about his fairytale "new system". Now he's sneaking around talking, (and GAWD knows what else), with some desperate jw floozy.

  Sorry dear, but IMO, you two are unevenly yoked. You're too good for him. You're not happy in this marriage and with good reason! Document his disloyalty in case the elders give you any shit, and file for divorce. He's using you to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan while waiting for somebody better to come along. He'll have a long wait, but that's okay, because he's used to waiting for paradise, LOL!

  I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I have to call it like I see it. You're a beautiful, intelligent, successful young woman! Go out and live a life that makes you happy. In doing so, you'll guarantee that your daughters will grow up to be independent who take no shit from anyone. And they can still have their father in their lives. Slackers like him generally are better "weekend" rather than full time fathers anyway.

  I wonder if the storm victims will have to sign over their insurance checks to the Watch Tower like the Katrina victims did.

  So if you tell a JW they were raised in a cult...

  yeah...it was wrong.

  i got upset and blurted this truth.

  seems kinda screwy that telling someone a truth could be wrong.

  A non-jw dating a jw is akin to a non-addict dating an alcoolic or drug addict in relation to the fact that neither the addict or the jw will stop their harmful activities until they are ready to stop.

  I think it's human nature to feel set apart from others. That feeling may be exaggerated if you're a born in. But whether or not you were raised in a cult, I think everyone as their own version of normal. I commented to my stepson once how weird someone was. He responded by saying everyone is weird in their own way, and I think he was right.
