Has anyone tried to prevent ex-spouse from training the kids as JWs?
by Michelle365 ini am at the point in my custody battle where i need to decide if i'm gonna "go for the gold" and bring religion into the fight.
my lawyer thinks i have a chance based on the parental alienation aspect of the religion.
i'm df'd and my kids are being raised to turn against me.

omg I just typed a long ass thing & my internet connection shut down. lol
Yes, you can teach your children to think critically, but the fact remains that they are very young and being subjected to harsh and unnecessary guilt by their father.
You feel like its pretty much lose lose right? Either you say 'MOMMY'S HOUSE MOMMY'S RULES' & then their dad 'Gets mad' and uses guilt and punishment. OR you could *not* celebrate the holidays with your girls so that they dont get in trouble<-----tho this gives your ex some control. Have I mentioned how much I hate him?
I think you should still decorate for holidays (maybe not Mother's Day or you may appear to be a narcissist, lol). Whomever said you should make cupcakes on a non-holiday has it right IMHO. Would your ex get angry if you made cupcakes a week before or a week after a particular holiday?
Terry & Ziddina also had great advice. Get sharp- beat him at his own game.
The girls are still so young. They will see through it all, i KNOW it! They have so many non-jw's who love them very much. Does your mom or dad or siblings ever call the girls?
I'm sorry you have nobody in your shoes...I wish I could give great advice. I love you Michelle
TroubledMind, I think Michelle signed a contract allowing the ex to take the girls to meetings, even on 'her' days with them. She had a lot going on at the time and was mentally drained...plus, I dont think she totally realized its a cult at the time

What was your initial reaction to finding out the religion is a cult?
by make yourself inmine was filled with shock and anger but mostly anger.
it made me feel that way because i have never been lied to like that growing up in the religion with it being all you know.

I left almost 15 years ago & did not think it was a cult. Only recently have I become convinced. I laugh now. I'm praying for my family members still in, but when I was told recently by a jw that the WTBS NEVER spoke badly about the UN...THAT's when I knew. And it wasnt too long ago. So a span of 15 guilt-ridden years went by...now I'm just grateful.

Now That You Can Get Involved In Politics Is It All That Important To You?
by minimus injws cannot get involved with politics.
exjws certainly can and based upon responses from this site, many are quite opinionated about political matters.. are you very involved in politics at this point in your life?
do you really believe that your opinion, your vote means all that in the big scheme of things?

I would like to be more involved, but I feel like an idiot with it all. Intimidated would be a good description I feel towards politics
