Mrsjones, normally this how I would handle it. The thing is, she is always doing stuff like this knowing how I feel. It's as if she is daring me to say something. I've spoken to my wife on other occasions about things like this but it does no good. I believe my in law is baiting me so that she could witness to me in front of the kids. I truely don't know how long I can continue biting my lip.

My JW mother in law is in town this week. My JW wife and I went to my cousins New Years party last night and came home after 2am while my inlaw watched the kids. Today she gets into a discussion with my wife that I overheard telling her we shouldn't have gotten home so late cuz she assumed her and my wife would go to the meeting today. The wife woke up late mother in law made a stink of it. So she ended up going to the afternoon meeting but kidnapped my 6 year old daughter and took her while I was in the back yard.. I'm very upset but keeping my kool... How upset would you be if your in law knew how you felt but did this anyway. My other boys 14 and 10 did not go. My daughter loves grandma but I can't stand the religion. Inside I'm pissed, very pissed. How pissed would you be?

The Control is simply amazing
by outsmartthesystem inat the kind advice of so many of you (and hassan) on this board....i ceased attempting to discuss doctrine/failures with my wife many months ago.
but unfortunately that does not prevent her from grilling me from time to time.
during one of our infamous "discussions" she said she was going to "investigate" this supposed "proof" that is out there regarding 587bc.

What would be the best way to explain the 607 and 586/587 BC discrepency to my JW wife. Who is willing to see the evidence. I have Gentile Times Reconsidered but it is a very tough read. Are there any other ways to discuss this and break it down to something easier to understand?

by marriedtoajw inwhat is theocratic warfare exactly as it is taught by the watchtower?

I believe that my wife and her family are using Theocratic Warfare stragegies in trying to indoctrinate my kids behind my back. Do any of you think it would be helpful to call them on it or at least question her about what Theocratic Warfare is?

To Outlaw and Truthseeker - Then how can a UBM ever trust his JW wife in anything? Do you guys believe that trust is possible?

What is Theocratic warfare exactly as it is taught by the Watchtower? Are all JW's instructed to apply it? How is it applied and to what degree and in what circumstances? Say, in the case of a JW being married to a UBM with children? How far does Theocratic Warfare go in this situation in the JW wife influencing the children? I await your responses, thanks...

Sparks are gonna fly in my home
by marriedtoajw inas i've mentioned in a previous post, my wife has been sending mixed signals to me for years on what she does concerning violating jw rules.
what i didn't mention at the time was that she has also gone through gung ho sprees from time to time.
she is now insisting on taking the kids to the hall.

zengalileo sais - "Don't let the kids go to meetings, please. You may have to get a court order to that effect. Do you celebrate their birthdays? Christmas? How far are you from becoming a "regular worldly person?" Do you see that as an eventuality? now that your mind has worked its way loose, what do you see yourself doing? how is that going to change how you raise your kids? Are you going to let them be in Little League? Ballet lessons for the girls? Yoga, martial arts, etc?
Hi Zengalileo, I'm not a JW and never have been so I guess that makes me "Worldy" in their eyes but I know and my wife and her family knows that I have a strong moral compass grounded in "so called" Christian values. In fact, I would say I'm more conservative than my wife and her family which makes my situation all the more stranger. I think that's why they all held out hope for me for so long that I would eventually be converted. Problem is, I hate manipulation of any kind, no offense but especially by women who abuse the good heart of a man. We celebrate everything, including my wife as I've stated in a previous post.
My kids play sports; ie basketball, baseball, soccer, my daugher is in ballet and we all love it, including my wife. That's what's strange... I can't imagine not having my kids active in the community participating in things that we have done over the years. Yet if I was a JW and raised my kids that way, I truely believe that my wife would be miserable. Being married to me has exposed her to things she would have other wise never experienced. Yet, I'm the one that's suppose to change. Huhhhhh!!!!!
