  there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

  is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

  Am I being unreasonable with my pimo boyfriend?

  by Addison0998 in

  i was very lucky to have be dating somebody who didn’t run and snitch on me when i started having questions and showing him research i did, instead he listened to me, and after a few arguements, he did wake up as well.

  it really didn’t take much to wake him up, and he was more just tired of the crazy witnesses in general.

  and now we are planning on getting married and fading together so that our families can at least enjoy our wedding, that special time in life, before we possibly loose them one day.

  Is he engaged in your life together and all the stuff that doesn’t involve your pissy feelings to the organization? Is he interested in planning your family, budgeting to set up house, working for a secure financial future? Do you have fun together? Are you building something together? He is not invested at all in the organization clearly. Is he invested in you?

  There is a civil suit. Criminal cases are harder to prove without a reasonable doubt. You only need a preponderance of evidence in a civil case. That means that the evidence weighs in favor of the plaintiff. In a criminal suit, you cannot have any REASONABLE doubt and convict of a crime. It is a very high bar which is why many cases never go to trial or the accused pleas down with reduced charges.

  The JC won't tell the wife about her husband's adultery

  According to the elders book, there really are NO expectations of confidentiality. The "hints" are no less breaking confidentiality than a priest coming out of confession, telling a law officer that he just spoke to joe blow and the the officer should go look in the padlocked area of the basement and talk to joe blow about it.

  There is no clergy privilege in the WT org and that big in their book is evidence enough. It doesn't stay in JC room. It gets to all congregation elders and then The Branch Office. They try to justify that but once you start telling wife he's an adulterer, leaving out the details doesn't really get you off the hook it breaking confidentiality.

  The poster who wasn't warned about husband probably wasn't because it happened when Jehovah didn't think homosexual cheating counted as actual adulterous relationship. It was in their view, nothing to do with the marriage.

  i'm not proud of the fact that it took me over 50 years to realized what the organization really was and to finally leave it.

  not proud at all, i feel pretty stupid.

  however i didn't lose my children.

  I left before I had kids or married, but the mindset was still there. I'm shitty at holidays and birthdays. I have a distance with people. I'm skeptical and cynical and still, against my own conscience, I am judgemental. YET I have the inclination to be the devils advocate in many situations. No cognitive dissonance here!

  That has affected my family life and relationships detrimentally.

  I'm not much fun. I really regret that my upbringing turned that switch off in me. That hurt my kids the most and doubtless my husbands lives also.

  I'm sorry that the OP and so many others were affected. Our responses are based in our own life experiences and family. I have other ex JW family members with worse mental health and family cicumstances, but who all adored their entire extended step/half siblings. I wish I understood people. I am so developmentally delayed in relationships!

  The lawsuit, if true, indicates that it wasn't amicable. Lovely witness indeed. Cheating, extortion, blackmail. It makes me want to attend a meeting. Weight watchers, al anon, toastmasters. . .not a JW meeting! Obviously it's a hotbed of bad morals and poor character.

  That sounds like a typical JW business partnership.
