First of all thank you all for your responses! Divorce was final July 15th of this year. We have 50/50 custody. My ex is extremely controlling....I try my very best to just "get along" with him. Since I no longer live with him he has no one to take his anger out on.,...except my son now gets it. It is all mind games and I'm the rotten one because I broke up our family . My son is so brainwashed and absolutely terrified to do anything to upset his dad or Jehovah. I have recently put my foot down and said he is not to do anything JW related when I have him. This of course has caused a huge uproar.As far as him dating someone I really do not care ( as long as they are good to my son) I almost feel sorry for her. She is 14 years younger then my ex and has a 10 yr old boy who he is trying to control also. He just acts like he is this great person who has changed and he can do no wrong. He is just lying about everything and there is a part if me that wants to run to the Kingdom Hall and let everyone know how awful of a person he is!!! But then part of me says it's not worth it. ....somehow he would sweet talk his way out of it. To answer "notjustyet" question... My son has the ex's old cell phone and he did not delete any if the messages before giving it to him.

dating even though not scripturally free to do so
by seekingadvice inwondering what to think...i'm recently divorced from my jw spouse ( i was never a jw).
we have a 11 year old son who is being forced to attend meetings and have all the beliefs that ex has.
i'm constantly being told what i should do and i'm supposed to go along with ex on whatever he says because apparently the "head of the family" continues after divorce in his world.

He had initially asked me to go to the elders and lie to them about me being in a relationship. I refused because first it wasn't true and second what does that say to my son about me?? I see where you are going with this and it really does sound like something I would consider if he would actually agree to it.....I'm just not real sure he would hold up to his end of the deal. -

I also know that they are hiding it from the other witnesses....he has told me several times that they are "very careful" -

Would our son be considered as a witness? -

Wondering what to think...I'm recently divorced from my JW spouse ( I was never a JW). We have a 11 year old son who is being forced to attend meetings and have all the beliefs that ex has. I'm constantly being told what I should do and I'm supposed to go along with ex on whatever he says because apparently the "head of the family" continues after divorce in his world. He has had this "friend" for approx 2 years...same time we separated. He has told me several times they are just friends .nothing can become of it because he is not scripturally free to marry. However they are always together and I recently came upon some text msgs between the two saying they love each other.talking about cuddling later.missing service to work out together and they have "pet" names for each other. Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that dating?? Can't they both be disfellowshipped???
