  Miniimizing 'Punishment' - marrying a non-JW

  by doasthouwilt in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i’d like to marry my best friend of 30+ years, turned ‘secret’ girlfriend of 1 ½ years who is a jehovah’s witness, born into it, baptized and an active ‘pioneer’.

  our marriage would happen prior to letting any of her jw friends and cohorts know that we are together.

  once married she may simply come forward and ‘admit’ or we may wait until it’s found out – one way or the other, the reason for this marriage is not customary – i am hoping that by doing so she can avoid being ‘marked’ or possibly ‘disfellowshipped’ once our relationship is no longer a secret and due to our already being married at that point, there can be no notion from society elders about her ending the relationship.

  Yes you definitely will not be required to divorce! I'm happy for you both ☺️(You seem like you have your head screwed on) with one proviso: Just be aware If you ever have kids there could be issues with how you raise them..... as you don't believe and she does. Because she will no doubt wish to raise them in. However since you both know each other so well I'm sure you'll work things out.

  As to problems post marriage the only issue will be when they take her in for a grilling (which they will). I would definitely advise going with her as her husband and you do the answering because - and I can guarantee this - they will ask her if you consummated your relationship before marriage....

  ......and how often.

  ........And what ya did....😳Yup.That's how they roll.

  As a believer she will struggle to lie and if she admits what she's done she will be disfellowshipped (not for marriage but for sleeping with each other prior to marriage). If you guys deny this you should be golden. They may take away her pioneer privileges for a bit, but they'll soon be reinstated.

  Good luck and best wishes!

  Wouldn't that be something if Lloyd gets in trouble for pretending he is the Karlo Novosel Law Firm? Does Croatia have a law for that? Surely they do have laws for that if he did fake a legal document. It was

  Totally fake. That lad is a friend of a friend para legal who probably agreed to say use my name if it comes on top. So might be hard to prove unless the laws are particularly strict in which case that lad will loose his job.

  All fake like that whole activism stick he's got going on. Fooled all the newbies. He's no activist just makes daft videos. He uses the research of others and most videos he just repeats the same stuff ad nauseum to increase ad revenue.

  Simon's more of an activist than he'll ever be.

  The real activists were Mark O Donnell and Kim Silvio, Barbara Anderson, Paul Grundy, Steven upthank and Lara Kaputt etc Rick FearON, the folks at the protests etc working hard in the background, for nothing, & doing the real leg work. Mike and Kim help actual people. Lloyd publicly stated he refuses to help people personally because there's no cash in it.

  Oh my goodness I'm so sorry Lady Lee. Oh the treatments are hell. People use throwaway comments like bravery but when you see someone go through the treatments it is brave. Incredibly brave. I hope this round gets better. I dearly hope you don't get sick. I'm so sorry.😔

  That's interesting non coin collector

  Has Lloyd taken the "I'm taking a break" video down? If so has anyone got a copy because that is a far more damning video than many people realise.

  Why?

  Because he made that video after his wife said she didn't want him going to sex workers anymore. Yet He claimed he needed a break for his mental health. That's so manipulative.

  Why?

  Because what he was really doing was getting his viewership on side, and therefore against his wife's wishes, in order to defiantly, publicly warn her to back off prior to doing exactly what she'd pleaded him not to do. And what a way to do so....by going to the hooker capital of the world*.

  But it's about his mental health.

  And that's just the why. When you watch the how, the narcissism really becomes apparent. The cold, hard anger he displays in that video is toward his wife. His first victim, remember.

  
  

  *It was his behaviour toward his wife that Kim Silvio broke down during her video and why, eventually, I believe she decided to go public.

  Re: Kim Silvio's letter and statement that Lloyd shouts down and silences those he disagrees with: " you would be shocked if you knew how many activists have given up activism because of him".

  It's upsetting that not once has he addressed this comment. Further, not once has he expressed shock or remorse that he has upset anyone to the point of driving them away. I believe a decent person - even if they'd been thoughtless and bullish on occasion - would be horrified to learn they were responsible for making fellow exjws feel this way.

  I started reading it, thank you. It's very interesting. I find it very interesting how much better off Brits who emigrated to Canada/USA back then were. I can't imagine my boys coping with a baby and a war at 16😳

  I've read many of Graces posts and i do remember her passing and how sad everyone was.
