  You might have a problem when the conversation ends with your wife walking away from you...fingers in her ears.....yelling " Jehovah help me! Jehovah help me!"

  but when they end like that three times....it's strike three... or maybe it was strike #3,333,333.......but it is sad and painful for us both i know.....a person must be in a very very bad place to act like that in front a man you have loved and been intimate with for 15 years....and at that moment i am satan in front of her....a begging pleading attempting to reason satan...but still satan to her and her friends.....but this nice woman needs satan out of her life now....oompa.

  i am not a bad person...i am not satan...i asked her why she thought i had tried so hard....told her that if she was in a burning building just how hard would she think i would try to get her out??

  she did not like that analogy either...so i have started the painful process...the building is going to burn to the ground now....and i will never put her through that fingers in ears thing again.... and i will be fair and reasonable....and pay her the alimony and give her half....i could so be a satan to her in divorce....but i won't!...i can at least prove to them all that i am decent man...and not mentally diseased or satan.....and ahhhhh i feel good about that....plus both my boys are free now...

  "Jehovah help me! Jehovah help me!"

  Sad to say, we know she was serious when she said this.

  Hang in there Oompa.

  She's my best friend and we probably will grow old together in the same house

  That is as beautiful an arrangement as any.

  Best of luck to you both. Thanks for sharing.

  Steve,

  So good to hear from you. That is one whopper of a course load. Good luck in school.

  So glad you made it out with Donny and your family.

  PS - Still working on my family. My sister, bil and the kids are just about done. My dad has come a long way. If I can just get my brothers and mom out, I will be one of the happiest people on the face of the earth.

  At this point, there was a pause as all stood and sang Song 86 “Faithful Women.”

  That is soooo weird.

  JW leadership vacuum - explained!

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw leadership shows an appalling lack of creativty and originality.. -- meeting attendance down across the board?

  let's keep the same 1940's format anyway!.

  -- missionaries quitting their assignments?

  I remember years back when one of the major contributors to the YPA articles/Awake died of cancer. Word going around Bethel was that there was no one qualified to write the articles. They were at a stump to add someone on that writing committee.

  I was like, seriously? There's no one left to write that crap? That's how WT works. They are so into personalities and status quo. It is a very limited religion. No other explanation for how it all works... except that it's a cult.

  Muscle testing, applied kinesiology, and just plain being wrongheaded

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife's family have been jws for generations.

  we all know that the watchtower had crazy ideas about health early on and were usually at odds with the medical community.

  so it's no surprise that my in-laws are big on non-traditional ways of treating ailments.. but for years now the society has printed articles and preached in assembly talks against applied kinesiology, or muscle testing.

  Well, some alternative practises are loopy. But not all. The witnesses I know who are into the remedies have a host of unexplained illnesses. Depression, anxiety, psychosomatic illnesses, etc. When they go to their regular docs and nothing is discovered to be wrong, they search for other forms of healing.

  Not realizing that the problem is their JW lifestyle.

  I've lurked a long time: JW's produce some of the most paranoid humans

  by Unlearn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.

  it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.

  more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.

  new to JWN

  by Brad Wilson in

  2. friends

  have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.

  that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.
