  Yes he said he would bodily take them to the meetings. But he has since spoken to his father who is an elder also, and his father told him that he was wrong to be like that. Number one, my sons are very large, the 14 yr old is 6' 1 and 280, the 16 is 6'4 and 235 and the 18 is 6'3 and 230. lol

  So needless to say, i dont think he will be dragging anyone anywhere. BUT, i did however tell him if he gets a burr up his butt again to try and do something like that, i would have the police called immediately.

  It is truely like living with someone who has lost their mind. I think I already know the out come of this, but he wanted me to have scriptural reason for leaving him. Outside of committing adultry, i dont know what i would say. And dont think i havnt been tempted. But I know thats not the answer. lol

  This was my question in my marriage. My husband has gone back to the Kingdom Hall and I do not believe in it after years of research. We have been married for 18 years. I am an apostate in their eyes. What do we do in our marriage.

  Thank you all for your input. I do keep my sons busy busy and busy. lol They all 3 play alot of sports, and we have lots of school offers for college. I am and so are my sons taking a stand at not going with him. I went a couple of times just to show support for him in what he was doing, but i honestly just dont have the stomach for it. Christ died to do away with the law, but they just dont have a clue about who he really is. It hurts me to see him so bound by this, but his entire family is JW, so once they all got him corned a few months ago, they got him back. I am trying to get him to give me the same respect that I give him in his meetings as I go back to church, but i know its not going to happen. And like I said there have been so many issues in our marriage, i really just want to end it. But he wont leave, because he says he has no scriptural reason to leave. We just moved into a house a month ago and I origianally took it because it was cheap enough for me to afford by myself if need be. So I guess i am trying to figure out if I should just go ahead and leave myself with my sons. Because they want to be with me. It is so hard after that many years together.

  Hi everyone. I am brand new here and I am heartbroken looking for answers. I have been married for 18 yrs. Yes 18 years. When we first got together he told me that he WAS a JW. Then when we got married and i was pregnant with our son he said he wanted to start going back and that he was dissfellowshiped. I started going to the meetings with him (to make him happy) and after a while i was also baptized. We went for a bout 5 years and both of us left. We went back some time later to meet with the elders and they dissfellowshipped the both of us. Whatever!! But we have been away for many many years, and now he is attending all of the meetings again. The reason i am heartbroken, is because of all the research and studying I have done, I know this is not the place that I want to be. He is SOOOOOO sure that his way is right, it is causing us to fight every single day. He has threatened to take our 3 sons by the neck if they did not obey him and come to the meetings. I dont know what to do. My sons at home are 14, 16 and 18. We are so misserable having to listen to his preaching all the time. We were having alot of marital problems before, but we were trying to work things out. But I cant take it any more. I dont know what to do. My heart tells me that all things are possible with God, but I know he will not change his mind. He is one of those kind of JW's that try to rule with the "iron fist" so to speak, and its his way or the highway. We had a huge fight Sunday because it was my son and daughters birthday and i wanted to have a party for them. I did it, despite him giving me a really hard time about it. But I am 46 years old, and i seriously dont want to live the rest of my life unhappy. Any advice or help out there for me?

  Thanks

  Shelley
