Deleted Profile
by brotherdan ini have offically asked lady lee to delete my profile on this site.. that being said, i want to thank everyone that was there for me through my hard times coming out of this cult and dealing with my wife who is still in it.
i know that it seemed like i didn't care and was not gratefull for all the support that i received on the site.

Lying about divorce reason to be allowed to re-marry
by Big Softie ini know my view on this but would be interested to see what anyone else thinks.. .
at a court hearing recently my estranged wife, who left me (i'm not jw) asked me if i would be prepared to lie to her elders and state that i had committed adultery (i didn't) so that she would be allowed to "get on in her faith".
this from a woman who before she left got intimate (emotionally, i'm not sure about physically) with two "sisters", one of whom took to buying her large bunches of red roses and basicaly furnished her new house for her.. now my view is that she has clearly stated and put in writing that the marriage ended because of my unreasonable behaviour (i.e.

Even if he did "do the deed", if they are divorces what business is it of hers? I wouldn't tell them anything and if asked I would tell them to go pound sand.
If she wants to live under those BS rules, she should suffer the consequences.

ALWAYS used the "cult" as an excuse not to go to school, get a good job.
That's my wife in a nutshell. "Increasing her ministry" seems to be the catch all phrase of the day when talk of her getting a job or going go school comes up. While at the same time, she looks longingly at those who went to school and have a got a good job are able to do. The financial independence it gives them and the feeling of purpose.

I understand exactly what you're going through. My situation is much like a mirror image of yours except that I'm the male breadwinner with a JW wife that really see no value in finding a job or of educating herself so that she might be gainfully employed.
She constantly talks about what she would do with the money if she had a job, but can never find the time to look in favor of reading and highlighting WT mags and preparing for meetings. I've asked her does she really want to look for and get a job and she never answers. But, she has made snide remarks that I should find her a job. WTF!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what she does around the house, the cooking....the cleaning.....and I always come home to a hot meal. She is very frugal with the little money I am able to give her for her personal use almost always putting it back into the house in some way.
She doesn't have to work and haven't for the last 12 years of our marriage, and really doesn't need to work as there is enough money to support us, but I think that she having a job would immeasurably improve her self-esteem and help her develop the social skills needed to function out here in the real world as opposed to that fake fairy-tale JW one painted by the WT.

Take out the bible and a couple of WT's that speak on the subject of a man providing for his own household and if he doesn't, he is worse than (something or another)..... and beat his ass over the head with it.
He's just using this circumstance to be lazy and not go out there and even look for a job in favor of increasing his spiritual activity. In this economy, it is harder to look for and find a job than it is to get dressed and go out and socialize with his witness friends. Door to door work is not a spiritual activity as much as it is a social activity designed for for JWs to reinforce their dependence upon the organization and waste time in non-productive busywork.

Brotherdan seems like he really DID leave
by sabastious inhe was an interesting presence on this board.
he had integral knowledge about bethel and the like.
i am an emotional guy too so i can kind of relate to why he left.. but, you gotta get thick skin on the forum.

I kind of felt sorry for the guy at the beginning....but in the end, I think he turned out to be an arrogant ass...a credit to his new found Watchtower-esque religious views.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire!!!!

WTBTS IS ON THE RUN AND HELPED JIMMY SWAGGERT !!!
by Hairyhegoat inthe witchtower have no interest in anyone but themselves.
it's all about money at the end of the day, they will lie and do anthing to anyone to keep the lie going.
i have found these comments from another site and you may find it interesting... the cult says they are making the operations of the organization more efficicent and cost effective by selling off these properties but the truth is the cult has been shrinking in numbers and losing millions of dollars each year.

15 years a JW and he gets blown out of the water. The unintended consequences of leaving those magazines out and around looking to start up a conversation.

Call me cynical, but I hope he wants to see you from the heart and not because he's in search of financial assistance for his pioneer daughter and husband.
I've seen too many JWs come out of the woodwork to non-JW families in times of financial stress working that necessary business angle then go back to shunning after they're financially stabilized.
