  so today was my first sunday meeting that i didn't go with my wife.

  as an update she has decided not to move out right now...because she doesn't have anywhere to go.

  but she is giving me the silent treatment.

  Hey guys....I know you are trying to help but this is still his wife and mother of his children. Sometimes we need some time to clear our heads. What she is doing is very hurtful and the correspondence is very raw and new at the moment.

  Is this thread able to be moved into "members only"????

  Brother Dan,

  I wish words can express how sorry I am for you. Maybe give it a day or so and not contact her? It will be hard but at least "sleep on it" and start a new day...take it one day at a time.

  I am so sorry. :( Tammy has given great advice, see a lawyer about taking your kids out the state. I truly hope she comes to her senses and maybe just needs some breathing room.

  what are my options?

  i have recently found out that someone close to me is receiving medicaid and in the process of getting food stamps.

  this is so unfair and annoying.

  Moshe, I completely agree. If there are some who TRULY need the assistance, that is what it is there for. Not working 20 hrs/week and the wife is a pioneer with no job.

  I did not read the whole string of comments but if you have a cell phone it would be pretty hard to record that conversation.

  It may not be illegal but very unethical. He is serving as an MS and that is not setting an example.

  There is a brother who used to be in my KH. He would always brag how he works around 20 hrs a week. His wife is a regular pioneer and they are always complaining about their money problems and "woe is me". They ended up getting food stamps and ate better than most in our KH. People would tell him to have his wife find a PT job, but he says "she works for Jehovah." I say Jehovah does not give her a paycheck. He is an MS she is a pioneer they both should be disqualified since they are not working (hard enough) to pay their bills and have to live off the government.
