  for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

  with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

  i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

  Thank you V.I. for kindness offered, the Kingdom Hall is not the same place I grew up in our maybe it's me changing or seeing ugliness we ignore as kids? Elders we thought were Super or Great are trolls, have double lives and feed off other's agony and misery. My wife does not want to work, we don't have kids so if she wants to leave me there's a very supportive group of family on my parents side! I know how to do several skills used by the brothers and sisters, they call for favors and never return anything.

  How does someone decide on when its time to divorce a wife who micromanages her husband's affairs and refuses any privacy? As soon as we got married she pretended to get sick and quit her job, now her full-time occupation is spending everything I make. I pulled the credit cards and cancelled anything related to my name after she tried to drag me before the elders. She said "I never signed up for the following (marry a weak mate), (inactive mate), (critical of others) traits she's more guilty than I am! She stopped attending the meetings for two months after getting her feelings hurt, I stopped attending two weeks and she restart's and accuses me of being a weak mate! She does not go out in field service, I offered when we first got married thinking I was taking the lead, she always begged off. I call what she does "Phantom Service" because I have never seen her out in field service after three months of marriage her zeal fell off a cliff, How screwed am I?

  my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

  it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.

  he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

  V I am under 30 and soon, its highly probable we are going to get a divorce because I am tired of getting hen pecked! Are you mellow or super judgmental, do you allow your man after working sixty hours a week time to play video games without starting up fights because I don't feel like going out in service? She's allowed to miss meetings but if I miss them, I get this strange card pulled out "your weak" or "I never signed for marrying a inactive brother!" and she misses more than me. What if I have to move back in with my parents because her paranoia is growing since everyone is spreading rumors about my parents? My parents are the local apostates even though there's no evidence to prove it and it's getting old quickly!

  There are no kids in our marriage and she's going to make me leave her because it's getting old living a lie! So sorry you are going through your situation, there's no reasoning to people who are filled with hate filled judgement!

  edited She lied and said "I love kids and want lots!" and now she said she does not want any kids and hates them! What do I do since you are going through the same hell I am except mine does not like sex much even though I try everything to make her happy. I am no saint nor claim but I do try, she has checked out after a few years!

  I am new to this website, Dad's been here since 2005 off and on, my younger brother left the organization three years ago and nobody from his kingdom hall ever checked up on him. Currently my wife is trying to catch me after local JWs accused my parents of being apostates. She's paranoid, check's my history and very unhappy when I visit my parents. I am living a double life, the movies I watch, the music I love, my personality is challenged by her on everything.

  It sucks when your parents warn you not to marry someone and you think you know better, the only time I can be free is at their house. I am posting from there now since she refuses to visit when I visit. How does anyone leave with dignity and not have the A word attached for life?

  years ago there was a thread about rumors that society was paying into a retirement fund for circuit overseers.

  could any recent ex-bethelite confirm or deny.

  here is the old thread:.

  You want facts or fiction?

  Active COs have their expenses paid through the Kingdom Hall plus their car and health insurance comes the "Kingdom Hall Circuit Overseer Car and Health Insurance Fund" including car maintence and purchase of new cars.

  I was shocked when one of the former COs showed me his monthly stipend after 37 years of being on the road, it was $561 plus the Organization paid their health insurance. He was lucky, he had worldly brothers and sisters who left him a fortune so he never had to worry about money. Most COs come off the work very poor, they end up going back and living with their family and in some extreme cases, they must live with kids who left the truth.

  Health Insurance is paid for Retirees through a separate fund, not like the local funds collected in your circuit for your active CO. If you need any more info I can help, I use to help a few plan their finances and try to make the numbers work.

  For years I've been screwed with by some very bad people, people Satan would kick out of his organization because even the Devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath. With the JWism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the Kingdom Hall for good. I was talking with two elders who said "You know if you return to the Kingdom Hall, Jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you." Well, I asked him "when I attended the Kingdom Hall you said "there is nothing we can do because that brother, he said, "can this be off the record and between me and you?" since he's not suppose to be here and being here is a dfing offense, I can tell you what this clown said!, "Elder Joe gives so much energy, support and time for Kingdom Hall buildings and the organization need's him and that's why he get's a little extra slack or is not removed! Jehovah need's his financial support". ?????

  
  

  
  

  What about all the people he's chased away, how can this be Jehovah's organization if he's allowed to run free and make grown women cry? He's allowed to play harsh games with any elder who disagrees with his views on the Body, he's stabs them in the back and front, he loves to attack people dissidents until they leave His Kingdom Hall! This Elder who has given up on Biblical Morality in pursuit of Man Mad Rules and Regulations said "he's a bad man but we just got to endure and Jehovah will reward us!" So why should I return to the Kingdom Hall if he's allowed to run wild? "Please don't use the "Wait on Jehovah line" because people are sick of hearing that when the Bible is filled with scriptures like "If it's in your power to do good, than do it!" or "Do not without the doing of good to those your able to!" paraphrased.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  21My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.

  Hang on to them,

  22for they will refresh your soul.

  They are like jewels on a necklace.

  23They keep you safe on your way,

  and your feet will not stumble.

  24You can go to bed without fear;

  you will lie down and sleep soundly.

  25You need not be afraid of sudden disaster

  or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,

  26for the LORD is your security.

  He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

  27Do not withhold good from those who deserve it

  when it’s in your power to help them.

  28If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,

  “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

  29Don’t plot harm against your neighbor,

  for those who live nearby trust you.

  30Don’t pick a fight without reason,

  when no one has done you harm.

  31Don’t envy violent people

  or copy their ways.

  32Such wicked people are detestable to the LORD,

  but he offers his friendship to the godly.

  33The LORD curses the house of the wicked,

  but he blesses the home of the upright.

  34The LORD mocks the mockers

  but is gracious to the humble.c

  35The wise inherit honor,

  but fools are put to shame!
