Hey Pale Emperor,
Thanks for posting the link to the WT preparation for child custody cases booklet. Such weasel-word and outrightly disingenuous responses recommended should convince anyone who is not totally brainwashed that WT religion is immersed in deliberate deception.
hi i haven't posted for a while but i have a question and would appreciate any advice offered.
i left the cult 2 years ago and i'm so happy now.
i struggled at first and with the help of the lovely men and women on here i got stronger and started to find myself and ive grown as a person (i'm not being told who i am or who i should be anymore).
Hi FR,
Do you share custody?

Will your wife sign such a clause?
Even if she did, the teachings of the religion, if effective, will unquestionably influence your daughter's thinking about all non-JWs... and that unfortunately includes you.

Sorry to rain on your planned out-of-court negotiations.
My take is that your divorce will end any real control you have over your wife. When she has custody of your daughter, you will not be able to control Watchtower influence, just as your wife will not be able to control how you educate your daughter when you have custody. Verbal and written agreements to the contrary will end up being futile. Your daughter will quickly find out that you are evil association and are bound for destruction at Armageddon whether you like it or not.
Divorce plays into her hand; since if the unbeliever departs, she is not bound to remain single. I can envision your wife getting remarried to a faithful Jehovah's Witness who will also support your wife and make sure your daughter is educated in all things JW.
Is there any chance of you sticking it out, for your daughter's sake?
2020 the society will continue to have financial problems with massive pay outs because of their lack of protecting their young people from a religion that harbors thousands of pedophiles.
thus this and other religions that has an 1800's mentality will continue to lose their young people.
with the religion's lies easily found on the internet the smart ones will continue to leave in droves.
Nice correction WAEO!

and that no doubt also means in their children's children's lifetime.
one the jws like.. "get busy!
god is coming and he is pissed.".
one the that people who are not jws like.. "please god protect me from your people".
Favorite- After religion, try Jesus.
Worst - Honk if you love Jesus.
i am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.
since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.
and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.
Why not show your wife what unconditional love looks like. Be a servant to her and hopefully she will see there is goodness outside of the cult.
i hear rumbling about the rank and file not having the same zeal they had when new.. lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone.
waste of a whole morning.
isolated.
Pardon the pun, but how can their be real zeal when you are on a 105 year road to nowhere.
i don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.
back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.
those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

here is a screenshot from a youtube video (521 and the circus continues) where anthony morris blasts post-secondary college & university education.
''we will not need doctors or lawyers after armageddon.
so, anthony...what occupations do the society need '' today'' and after armageddon?
Plumbers, electricians and liquor shelve stockers
