is it me who thinks this.......jw pimi or pomi women lack natural affection toward there children, family and human's.. it must be the indoctrination that strips these emotions.

i see it in my wife all the time, when she talks with non jw people she is like "meh" i got to talk with you.. when she talks with jw people, she has a cult emotion like "yes my people" .

she is screwed in the head, the more that time goes by i want to leave her and get a divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've noticed this with my wife too. She loves out children without a doubt, but it's different. It seems to lack genuine closeness and affection.

I was a convert to the religion at age of 20 .... I had started dating a cute non-practicing JW girl in high school, yep, I got sucked in ... But I had a fairly normal, happy, loving family life, so this lack of love that I observed didn't seem right, but believing it's the truth let's you tolerate and excuse the inexcusable.

Being able to cut off a child at the direction of a religion, it's hard to comprehend. I never had to do it, I wondered at times if I would be able to if that time ever came, I'm glad it didn't.

Maybe some JW parents keep the parental relationship somewhat emotionally distant for that reason.

Meetings called off waking people up? I suppose it might for some, I hope so. Not in my wife's case.

She now makes all meetings through zoom. In the past, she might miss if she wasn't feeling well.

She attends service meetings through zoom.

She gets DAILY emails from an elder plus the responses they all share in the group email.

They communicate and associate more now than they did before.

My wife just ordered herself $250 worth of "go bags" at the encouragement/scare tactic provided in one of these daily emails.

The cult sucks!

I made the error of letting my wife know when I was awakening, I tried to share information with her, I tried to be a better husband to counter the negative she would think about me in my loss of faith in the organization. She's a born in, I'm not. It drove her deeper in. 10 years later ... It never got better, COVID meeting arrangements have driven her even deeper.

The cult sucks!

I'm from a place in the United States that we call "The U.P.", I dare say most Americans probably have no idea what that means, but Emma probably does.

E-MAIL Shepherding during Covid stay at home

by wannabefree in

my wife is getting regular emails from the cobe ... you know we have the truth, the world is in the dark, we're special, hang in there, read this encouraging watchtower ... blah blah blah ... just wondering if these are coordinated from org.. recent mass email example .... " .... an excellent watchtower article in the july 2020. it is entitled “be convinced that you have the truth”.

the scripture is from 2 tim 3:14. we are to continue in the things we have learned and be persuaded to believe.

reflect for a moment what appealed to you about the truth which drew you to jehovah.

I don't know if she's getting personal one on one email. I just happened to notice this one as the page was left open. It was a cc to a bunch of addresses.

As far as counting time, probably done the same way an elder explained to me how he counted his letter writing time years ago. Keep track of the time put into writing one letter, duplicate it and send it out. One letter written, one half hour, 50 copies x .5 hours = 25 hours .... He was legally blind, so he would print the letters in a large font and stamp "free material for the blind" to avoid paying postage.
