  Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

  by JimmyPage in

  the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.

  .

  i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

  So women really aren't allowed to file for divorce? (Other than adultery).

  I'm sorry to keep asking, I just want to know for sure that this is really the way it is.

  Wow. I had always thought that if her life was endangered or if there was "complete spiritual endangerment" she was allowed to file.

  I learned of it from this comment on facebook, which is very interesting:

  I never bought the shit & was never baptized so couldn't be disfellowshipped as a publisher, but I completely disassociated myself both verbally & in writing. Further, after several years of continued abuse, I pretty much reverse shunned my mother...forced her to practice what she preaches and not speak to a disassociated publisher and proud, very public, very vocal apostate. She still tries to call every couple months. I just don't answer...I don't even give her the satisfaction of hearing my voice cuss her out anymore, not for over three years now. Even if she were to leave the cult, I don't think I'd speak to her...can't forgive her for supporting them, especially through the Sister Sandy Ford
  killing spree and all the molestation. Those of you struggling with parents who are shunning you, find a chosen family to replace them & remember they were no good to have in your life if they would choose a cult over you...better off without them (lest they Sister Sandy Ford your kids bc "it is better to die of the Lord than to live amongst The World" with apostate parents, yeah, these crazy fucks kill their grandkids when given access, why would anyone WANT to speak to them?) & the constant "when are you coming back to Jehovah?" bullshit, for real. My life is so much more peaceful & generally happy since I cut my toxic mother out of it.

  Welcome! You've come to the right place. I felt much the same way when I first stopped going to meetings. It will get better!

  You're going to make friends here. Many of us are on Facebook. Who knows, maybe some of us live near you. Chin up. I'll bet a year from now you will be talking about how much better your life has become.

  been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.

  i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.

  i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

  I can specifically remember an elder telling me that the meetings are not a social club. Brother Ass-hat was his name, I believe!

  my 2cents on the reason for keeping tabs on inactive

  by poopie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there is.

  2 schools of thoght on the reasons why they want records on inactive school 1.round this loose ends up we have to many fadeing and getting amnesty we want to keep tabs on them because they have influence on those still active so tighten up no loopholes make them pay for leaving the organization, school2.these are sincerely.

  intrested in helping those who hate our guts because we treated them in an unloveing way or they feel your just are a little stupid and let the loveing shepards help you so it is intresting i also think the circuit ovetseers and yes men have hoodwinked the gb into thinking everthing is just dandy in spirtual paradise these reasons why some ate inactive will be eye opening to some of the gb and hopefully they will see people as fellow humans and not stupid little chilldren that need a human master.

  Right now many inactive ones keep a low profile because they want to keep a good relationship with their JW family members.

  If WT starts treating inactive ones like DF'd ones, it will create a lot more anti-WT activists.

  And the more activists, the greater the chance that more JWs will stumble upon TTATT.

  But the GB make so many boneheaded decisions that I've come to expect it from them.

  The only upside for WT would be that they say more angry activists are proof they are being persecuted and the end is so close.
