  and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.

  so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.

  all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.

  Still can't believe I put this all together while pioneering, lol. To bad I couldn't have just done the research without having to pioneer, lol

  Wow, it's been awhile since I've even read this thread. Thanks for your thoughts Wannabefree. I'm sorry about your marriage. It sucks. Glad to hear that you have been affective with the kids though. What a relief that is!

  My family has known I'm an apostate

  i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.

  this piece of news is just so depressing.

  i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

  Min - I've been treated like that for awhile now. It wouldn't be much different.

  Finkelstein - what really upset me was that this was all done by a person i thought I knew over a period of years.

  Min- Thanks, maybe you are right. Maybe in a few days I'll have a clearer head about this. I'm just so damn pissed.

  Finklestein - he did say that the elders said he shouldn't feel bad for my actions. As if he did feel bad/ashamed before.

  3rdgen - thanks. I'm pretty sure I'm past trying to work it out.

  Min- I'm not surprised he went to the elders. However; nothing in even their own rules says you need to go to family. That I did not expect.

  oubliette - thank you for sharing that quote. Very true.

  I found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years. I mean, why would he go to my family??? Why not ANYBODY ELSE???

  This piece of news is just so depressing. I've been wondering how my family knew I didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant. He's taken away so many people I have loved. I just can't believe he did this.

  I can take a lot but this is just to much. There was no reason for it. I even understood why he went to the elders but this??? I can't get beyond the fact that this was all his doing. I'm so upset I don't even want to get out of bed. I just want to lay here all day and cry. :(

  I would be wary of a C/O.. he might feel that by using the "child custody pack" , husband would get custody . You never know what harm these guys are going to do before they swan off to their next assignment and leave a mess for others to live with.....

  Does anyone have access to this child custody packet?

  Hamster- we are definately not sleeping in the same bed.

  Flipper, thank you so much. I enjoyed speaking with you also. I've started researching the area and as everything unravels I'll think about what to do. I'm still kind of in shock he actually told on me.

  Thanks Min. I didn't know you had a daughter my age! Anyways, at this point there's no way I'm talking to them.

  Thanks Kate. I wouldnt actually move out of state without him. I know he'd go with me. It's something he's wanted anyways and I think it's his JW friends keeping him here right now. They are all rallying around him in "support" even talking about giving him an MS position. He's always wanted the elders approval and now with this "stand" he's taking he's finally gotten that.
