Thanks for all of the great thoughts , I really need them now , since the anger is waning and the real situation is presenting itself to me . It is Sunday morning now and things have turned from what they were even last night . This morning saw my wife with a renewed fervor for the "truth" and she took the kids to the meeting ( she never took them both before) . She now admits that I was right about the jws ..... in as much as when you are in the truth the only choice you have is to be very active in service and meetings , otherwise the only other choice is to be inactive . That seems to me to be a very black and white translation of what I have been relating to her . now it seems she is committed to being gung ho in the dub religion . It seem like its one step forward two steps back with this religion . Why is it the abusiveness , degrading , belittling , draws her closer to them ? And drives her farther from me ? It makes no sense , but as for me I refuse to be downtrodden by such manipulative people . And I think my focus is going to have to turn to keeping my kids in my life regardless of the circumstances . I will keep you all updated as things transpire . Thanks again for all the responses .
