  Ladies and Gents.... Domestic violence!

  by Theonlyoneleft in

  domestic violence in the “tooth”... is this a thing?!.

  you are starting to know me by now as i’m always full of questions... my clogs are always in motion and never stop... so another question for you to give me some guidance if you can.

  based on pasts experience or cases you might heard of or seen, what advice could you give me in helping someone that is a jehovah witness, married with another jw but lives a marriage that is plagued by emotional domestic abuse and financial control?

  Sugglebunny,

  no one should have to endure such treatments. I’m with you.

  And no man or woman should be submissive to each other. Should always be a partner in life instead of what the WT teaches.

  They teach us that everything is solvable under Jehovah God, so many just stay and trust that this is the best for them and their family.

  This train of thought makes so many a prisoner.

  If nothing else WT should have proper guidance on this matters... they send brothers to become lawyers, others to train and gain skills that they can use in Bethels.... why not also have a department that helps people with their mental health? After all.... they are MEANT to love and look after their flock.

  Thank you for sharing.

  thank you for sharing.

  I also too have been there and done that.... married at 16....but I refuse to let anyone do that to me ever or any of my daughters.
  

  my father too thought that this was the best course of controlling my mother, so she left him taking us all with her and started again... she was a clever and strong woman, I presume that’s why she never completed her studies with JWs....she didn’t wanted to be under another control force.... thank goodness for her I missed that spot in the KH and left too.

  I applaud your honesty in your comments and from the bottom of my heart I wish that life will find you in a better path. We are strong... it’s just needed to find that strength within us.

  Thank you for sharing 🙂

  Did you ever thought this?

  so.. you are a jw or studying, living your life and doing your bit, feverish of spreading the good news to everyone that will listen!.

  you prep yourself for meetings, doing your ministry and applying all that there is into your daily life.. so....i have a question... you know... my clogs.

  when you where completely in the religion, did you ever think about the impact of your way of life and religion towards others, specially those that lived around you such as good friends or family members that didn’t studied?

  because.... witnesses will not go over their boundaries of expectations as will be seen as a bad thing, but they expect others to just to accept their ways without questioning it. For them there’s no harm no jws to join IN on whatsoever is going.

  For example—I can go to your KH for a wedding but you’ll never come to my church and attend mine.

  so what was it like? Did you ever thought of how your lifestyle would impact on others?Any thoughts? 😇

  I know what you could do... buy a bread machine and get baking!

  Fresh bread every day, yum!!!!

  That way you’ll always know what’s in your daily bread. 🙂

  I definitely agree with Simon on this one.

  So many times things are just twisted to give us a different perspective of the real reality.

  Do you know about the case of the singer Cliff Richard?

  Publicised by the BBC and totally wrong, the poor guy had to fight to proof his innocence as he was accused of being a rapist.

  In the end after the BBC trashed this man’s name, he took the BBC to court and won... in his interview he said that if he was the common man and not financially secure, that would have been impossible to clear his name as he would’ve be forever branded with something that he really didn’t commit.

  So no... I hear the media and then make up my own mind.

  In the joke side... maybe Mr Trump is onto something with his “fake news” disposition 😆
