cross your fingers for me
by Lady Lee inas some of you know but others don't i have been suffering from nerve pain in my feet for the last 4 years.
the pain has put me in a wheelchair and the medications have been less than promising.
it helped destroy my second marriage and put me on disability.

I've been told that a small group of disgruntled folk have been keeping a vigil outside Michael Porter's home in North London. Bethel, apparently aren't happy with the media for disclosing his whereabouts.
Stories of media indescretions are being bandied about. A poular story, (from a bethelite) is the one about a Kent journalist who wrote a piece about JWs a short while ago. I understand that she put a copy of the front page of the watchtower in her article but gave the impression that wife swapping was one of the topics in the watchtower magazine . The legal department, I understand, wrote a strong letter of protest.

THINKING OF FAKING IT GOING FOR REINSTATEMENT
by JapanBoy inborn and raised in the borg.. i haven't posted for some time.
i got divorced from my jw wife, of 25 years, after living with another woman for almost 1.5 years [knew her for 3 years] .
the divorce that was my doing was last dec. 06. the divorce went through but all the financial settlements have yet to be agreed on.

In answer to your question I think it is a combination of all the things you mentioned, security, love, kids, stability.......when you are married to someone for so long it is hard.
You probably know yourself and your wife better than we do - if you think there is a chance then go for it. From the above it sounds to me that you value the love you have for your wife and children and imo the sacrifice of going back into a religion you no longer believe is worth it.
Also now that your wife is working and paying her own way may mean that she is a stronger person emotionally and will be making her own valid choice if she decides to have you back. I would encourage you to give her that choice
Perhaps you had some sort of mid life crises, it does happen.
I'd warn you though not to tell her that you no longer believe in the JW relgion. Tell her when you start your fade - who knows she may join you.
best wishes to you

If the man was already disfellowshipped then the whole tenor of the reports is wrong, the mans sister is lying, and the respected UK broadsheet newspaper, The Guardian , made up this quote,
"The church said yesterday it would support him. But it denied claims by Porter's sister that he would continue to come into contact with children through his religion and visit families. A spokesman said: "He will be carefully supervised."!
and the careful supervision only extends to making sure that child molesters don't implicate the wts in any way.
The paedo I know is supervised by his wife who believes that as long he is spiritually strong he poses no danger to children. To her spiritually strong means answering up at meetings (which he does often), regular ministry (he is very zealous), attend all the meetings (he never misses).
The wts does not believe in privately warning parents so that they can protect their own children. Children love this guy, they go up to him and talk to him. Parents are oblivious and carefree. For them child abuse happens outside in the world and if it happens within the org its never by a spiritually strong person.

All I can say is that I have met and shaken hands with Michael Porter at Bethel where he was serving in the kitchen department and was an elder at the time.
A couple of ex-bethlites who served with him in his department for about a year, and then moved on to other departments, have verified my story.
He was reproved seven months ago after he'd left bethel to marry a single parent sister from the Mill Hill congregation.
I don't know anything about his life before he joined bethel.
