Dinner plans canceled because "I need to talk to the elders". Huh?

by Darkknight757 in

so this past week the wife and i have received several phone calls and text messages from our old hall.

we were also invited out to dinner to catch up with some old friends.

an hour before dinner this guys wife messaged my wife and said that she "can't wait for tonight!!

I think he believes I will call the elders to find out what's going on. I'm not. I sent him a message explaining that what he did affected not me, but my wife. For that he is and never was a friend. If the elders have a problem with me they can call me. They are just men, they have no authority over the wife and I. This was probably the best thing that could have happened.

Sadly my wife will now have to deal with her parents. I imagine it must be apostasy considering the guys wife and a few others have blocked contact with us.

I understand only because they are the victims here. They are under the mind control of Watchtower and this guy is the biggest company man wanna-be I have ever met. It comes to no surprise that he of all people would do something like this so when he canceled, I knew he wasn't a friend after all and it's better he and apparently his wife are out of our lives. Got no time for conditional friends anyways.

Last night we went to a wave of light ceremony in honor of pregnancy and infant loss and the wife got to see first hand that "worldly" people make better friends and are all around better people than the dubs could ever be.

Dinner in fact was awesome! Mediterranean food is our favorite. Deboned chicken and a garlic and butter sautéed shrimp. That, along with a nice reflective walk afterward turned out to be a nice evening.

It looks like today that the wife blocked us on Facebook. It's funny that everyone is shunning us and I don't get to know what awesome thing I did to get treated this way.🤗

Thanks for the comments. I consider this a blessing actually. We have been fading for the past year and this situation just accelerated our final curtain for the Watchtower. My wife, who was a very tough nut to crack, is disgusted and is happy to leave this chapter in our life behind. 👍👏👏🍾😇

So we get to the restaurant and they are late. 10 minutes after getting there we get a call and the guy says that they cannot come. I said it's ok we can try again another time. He says no that I need to "talk to the elders". 😳

Apparently these people are spreading rumors about some offense committed without my knowledge. And apparently this offense is so bad that we can't even have a meal with them!! Rude people.

Just curious - is apostasy grounds for divorce?

by LifesNotOver in

i know only adultery is supposed to be grounds for "scriptural" divorce.

i'm a wicked apostate in their eyes, but my believing husband and i still can't get a divorce that would allow him to remarry.

we currently are separated - i have left him.

The whole idea is goofy considering the whole religion is fake. I like Listeners idea of just telling the elders that you had a man friend sleep over. You don't have to go into detail. Just tell them and wiggle your eyebrows up and down and they'll get the point.

Which Org 'directives' did you blatantly ignore

by Tallon in

i remember that we were always encouraged to let everyone at work know that you were one of jw's and therefore would not participate in any of their functions, parties etc.. this i outrightly refused to do.

my reasoning was that i was employed and paid to do a job and therefore my religious beliefs were a personal matter and therefore had nothing to do with my work.

secondly i had to work with these people.
