I second reading Crisis of Conscience and Combatting Cult Mind Control by Hassan, then there will be no doubts about what a sham the WTBS is. I hope you can work things out with the girl, she might have some insight into what you are feeling if she gave you the book. Why did she have it? Did she read it herself, or did she buy it for you?

Staying unhappily married should never be the price to pay for "congregation love".
That is true, but many times that is what is expected, and what is done.

I also went to that assembly hall, from 78-84. The fireplace was the best. We would haul in firewood and stack it on both sides in the little stone openings. What did they do with all the kitchen equipment? We would always help cook and make ice cream to get out of sitting through those mind numbing talks, unless I got a "headache" and had to go out to the car and listen to the Penn State or Steeler games. Funny how those headaches always came around 12 or 1 o'clock.
Now that hall looks just like the one they built in NC about 13-15 years ago, and the one in Richmond finished around 7 years ago. I guess they use one design with tile & glass to keep design prices down. Sad, Coraopolis had a unique charm and look, now it looks like numerous others.
What cong did you go to? I was in a little one named Colver in W PA, was there until 84 when I moved to VA.

Why no letter for DF'ing?
by sd-7 ini think it was blondie who just replied to chickpea's topic, saying that elders are told not to give people a letter when they are df'ed.
this sparked a matter of curiosity for me.
why is it that people wishing to be reinstated have to write a letter to the body of elders, but the body of elders will not write a letter to a person stating that they are df'ed?

They want you to write a letter so they can feel superior and to further humiliate you. A continuing punishment until they are convinced you are pure enough to get back in. What ever happened to" Do not judge others, Lest...."

Son of man- A "True" faith is one that is based upon complete truth. How many people do you know of on the planet earth have a complete understanding of the bible? The answer is "none" unless you could prove otherwise which I know you cannot.
Don't you have true faith, being that god communicates directly to you, and you are the f & d slave? What planet are you from?
Sorry for going off topic eyeslice.

wife took it pretty well i guess...it's over...
by oompa ini guess it only took three years, but they were hell in so many ways for both of us...she was not happy and lived in denial as much as possible...i was not happy and lived in a bottle as much as possible and glad that is over for me....but it was one of the saddest things i have ever experienced in my life....as was the visit to my parents before i told her....but yes...she said she kind of expected it...was thinking something was going to happen soon as she noticed i had more and more trouble saying i love you back to her when she said it on the phone at the end of goodbyes...and when i was leaving the house...i had noticed it for over a year and it was killing me..... i told her how sorry i was for changing so much again....and that she still walks on water...and is a great person and so pretty....and that she will be ok because she was happy single before me for many years and had all she needs for that again...her closeness to jehovah and her freinds in the congregation...she is very close to both and will be ok i hope...it was very surreal....very calm...very sad.
my bitterness and disdain for wt rules came through when talking to my parents and i was very open about how i feel as to their upcoming shunning of me, and how it feels to my son since he was just 17....and how the fear of losing them had kept me trying in my marriage for the past few years...dad was firm in his position of future action....mom said they will still always love me...and will still talk to me until i get dfd.....oh how this hurts.....dad said there is a name for people who only live for themselves and deny god but could not think of what it was....i told him i was not living just for myself...that i am a good person and there are values from him and the bible i hope i always have....i cry so hard as i type this and tell you just so you can know how painful this is....i told him i so loved the rule of treating others how you want to be treated and have always done that...even allowing myself to be wronged on so many occasions to keep peace....... he said that was a good rule....i agreed and said it was a big one too....and that while i could do it...treat him the way i would like to be treated...he would not be able to!.......left as i became emotional...big hug from mom, but i just barely put an arm on dad............oompa.

Oompa, I have had a simular journey, I can feel for you with the emotional turmoil you are experiencing now. I have also tried the alcohol many different times in my life, came to the same conclusion that you did. You get nowhere. Stay strong, if you want to talk, I will PM you my number. We have a friend in common that may suprise you. The next day will be better, stay dry, enjoy your new life.
