i am now seperated from my jw husband.
he cheated twice on me, once while i was pregnant.
he hasnt been to meetings for approximately 2 years.
misogyny at its finest! Its such a double standard. Now had it been the other way around and you were the one cheating they would have df'd your ass so quick but because he has a penis they choose not to get involved. This is what really makes me sick about the organization.
Sorry you are going through this but i hope you come out a stronger person because of it. HUGS

following on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.
i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?
ideas gratefully received thanks x.
our last conversation was him yelling at me because i "loved the gays".
translation, i pointed out that nobody chooses their sexuality.
i've been shunned since daing last september, and really for a year or so after visiting my df'ed brother.
Dub I just want to offer my sincere condolences for what you are going through right now. I'm sorry your father is not doing well.
I am glad that you were at least afforded the opportunity to speak to him and relay your love.
I do hope your mom and family see the ridiculousness behind the whole shunning matter and loosen up on their stance. Maybe by what they have done already by removing all the jw's so you could visit your father is a sign that they could be at least be seeing the stupidity of leaving you out of family matters.
You guys are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Keep strong man. HUGS!!!

this is the way many of us feel no doubt: feeling like we have been betrayed by a faith that has hidden so much from its believers, and covered up some serious past and present teachings and practices.. and yet, we are the ones treated with disdain, contempt or suspicion due to fading from activity!.
simply amazing that we have had to make a conscious decision to stand up for what is right and not be a part of the organisation for genuine and sincere reasons.
and yet they slander us, malign us and make us look like the ones with the problem!.
isn't it interesting how the organization always says that its outsiders who slander, criticize and attack them when it's actually jw's that slander and demonize individuals who for conscientious reasons no longer follow there teachings?
You can't even fade quietly without a jw trying to label you. So really, who's criticizing who here?
Nice post SIAR
my latest review for watchtower's most recent feature length propaganda film.
(not safe if sober.).

SIAR2 Here is confirmation that this Johnathan Thompson is indeed the spiritual husband in this wt movie.
my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.
we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.
we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.
is it just me or does it grind your gears when you see #bestlifeever hashtag after every damn jw post on fb and instagram?.
i rarely get on instagram anymore because i dont want to deal with the jw propaganda but i swear sometimes i just want to comment on one of those pics 'jw life is the worst life ever wake up already'.
does anyone else know what i'm talking about?
it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

SIAR2 I agree with you because half of em' in those pics look downright miserable but yet they have that hashtag.
Who they trying to fool?
