Divorcing my husband of 13 years...

my husband and i were both born ins.

i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.

we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

Pink, if you had no dependent children, that

would be one thing.......but you do, 4 of them!

Whatever the situation is with your hubby, sit

down and think.

Do you really imagine that what you have right

now....all the care, work, worry, & expense will

somehow be eased if you are out there alone,

with no money coming in! No father at all in the

house! No one else there for the kids...just you?

Think...what are you setting these kids up for?

Do you think for a moment that some other "nicer"

man will jump at the chance to shoulder all these

responsibilities?

*

Plse get some outside counselling & help before

you go any further.

Backformore...hello, ...while I understand babyfever,

I think you may be in denial of your reality.

Facts are hard to accept sometimes, especially when

it points to a loss of youth. It might not be a case of

losing out on another child!

A couple of facts that you have given us, is that

you do have two lovely healthy children already and.....

"I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, and renal failure. My wife had breast cancer at 30"

*

Your decision of course........... only my 2 cents!

My Wife Now Questions God

well my wife and i have been through a roller coaster of life since i convinced her the dibs werent the truth.

the hardest tests have been lived but we are closer than ever now.

now recently shes read "the shack" nd watched some movies about god and just cant seem to inderstand why god would allow all of this suffering just to prove to satan that hes "the man" (or woman).

This is a hot issue with many people.....wt says

god has to prove (by our worship etc) that he is

the true/supreme god...... or else what would all

those angels think of him, if he just obliterated A&E

or that bright angel in the garden.

*

Well, ...after setting man kind right back to just 8

people, by flooding the earth & killing everything he

could........he has sat back & watched generations

(millions & millions) of people & babies & animals

suffer in agony, beaten, raped, sickend with

horrendous diseases, blinded, deaf & speachless

a n d t h a t is O K????????????????? with him!!

*

What......pray tell, do all the myriads of angels

think of him now! After they look at the legacy

of death he has instituted on mankind????

*

Or ....does god not exist, and it is up to each and

everyone of us to make this earth a wonderful

place to live.

My jw mum threw us out.

my brother (non-jw but became a christian 6 months ago) and i nursed my aged jw mother back to a semblance of strength over the last three weeks.. the elders were happy to pass the buck on to me, her da'd daughter and my bro.. he has been living with her for 3 months and has transformed her ill-kept home and garden and literally nursed her like a professional alone.

before i stepped in to help him care for her.

he repeatedly told her how much he loved her and was so caring, it brought a lump to my throat.. he has been going to church sunday mornings, telling her he 'was meeting up with friends' so as not to cause friction.but she knew where he had been.. we noticed a shift in her demeanour towards us (she knows i'm a church-goer) over the week-end and she started to.

Dear Abba & your Dear Brother, so sorry this

has happened to you both. Take very good care

of one another.

This farcical religion has ruined the wholesome

atmosphere that should exist in families.

They have stolen loyalties that would have

naturally existed between family & friends...

and sucked it all up ......for themselves!

Watchtower leaders should all be arrested

and thrown in jail ... for keeps this time!

*

My heart goes out to you both and to all

those suffering under this rule of buffoons

and all their made-up "laws"!

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

18 years ago
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?

No I didn't flipper. The only reason I even

found out about this was a "momentary

spilling of the beans" Actually told all their

names ...but darn they were reeled off so fast

my brain couldn't grasp them! I did try to find

out info on the one who went to jail ..newspaper,

google etc, but no luck. This went back about

15 yrs ago I'm guessing!

The one telling this was reassured tho (ya rite!)

that because he was sent to jail, that was that..

and every one was good again after that!!!!!!!!!

Lesson learned ......huh? So deluded!

in my city, there's been a husband and wife who quit this week.

hurray!.

the first thing that came to mind when i heard it was 'they didn't need my help'.. you see, many in my city who quit in the past were previously on my mailing list.

Many are sending these out, they

are sent anonomously because they

are re sent from another town or city.

Long after leaving, I found out that there

were 7 (one sent to prison) 7 elders who

were molesting children in my old

congregation ....... wow it made my blood

run cold!!!!

When questioning about brother xxxxx,

the answer was " oh no he only abused

his own kids"! ......ONLY!!!!

Omg, parents are taking an awful chance by

joining the jw cult!

It's my birthday today
by Bruja-del-Sol in

... but most of my new (post jw) friends either don't know my birth date (if people don't specifically ask i won't tell them), or they are 2500 kilometers away in the netherlands... so all that's left to celebrate with me are my hubby, the two doggies, cat and my two rabbits... mixed feelings, i miss my friends and family around and haven't found friends in spain yet.

luckily our daughter will visit us the end of the month... and yesterday we've found a new rental house and we're moving into it next month already!

i'm thrilled and really looking forward to it, then we will finally be able to let all the rest of our belongings come to spain (2/3 of our stuff is stored in the netherlands).. so with this in mind, i'll just say 'happy birthday to me' and will enjoy my third birthday in espana .

it takes time to stop thinking or reacting like a jehovah's witness.. are you still judgmental?

a know it all?

a person that listens more with their heart instead of their head---like jehovah's witnesses ???.

Guess I have changed in a lot of ways, sure

don't look at others as 'bird food' at all anymore.

Buuutttt.......still kinda maaaddd about all that crap

we were taught, that was always wrong.....but never

ever ever an apology or admitting they were running

ahead & disobeying the 'scriptures'! Or recognizing

that they ruined so many lives!

okay, this is going to be a bit of a general rant.

i had a long conversation with a jw elder recently about shunning and evolution.

i became qunite frustrated with the conversation and admitted this at the time.

"Yeah, I know its pointless. I always fool myself into think if I craft the perfect argument they will see the light. That's what I suppose is so frustrating."

Know exactly how you feel, I have been really

frustrated by this very thing.... their whole watchtowerese

is sooooooooooooocrazy making!
