Good standing
by Jrjw inhi does anyone know why you're classed as not in good standing if youve separated when you aren't breaking a commandment by being separated.
1 cor 7:11 - but if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled with her husband; and a husband should not leave his wife..

Been reading jwfacts and starting to really question everything I've believed the last 12 years. It'll take time for it to properly sink in and for me to take the plunge if that's what I decide to do. Its hard giving up all the friends ive thought of as my family for so many years. I'm shy by nature and worried about making new friends lol. I'm moving to Scotland next year which would make it easier to cut myself off from jws but its still a big and scary step to take and i have to make some new friends in the meantime once i move

I very much believe in God but I knew almost nothing about the bible when I started tudying with jws And believed what I was taught coz I was shown from the bible And I was only 22. I've decided I'm going to go right back to basics and study each bible teaching not using just jw literature and compare scriptures using a few bible's. I'll see what truths I come to doing that

Like I said in a previous post i have a lot of thinking to do and some big decisions to make about where my future lies. As long as I stay in the truth he's always going to think he can make me get back together with him coz he says i don't have a choice coz we're married and have to stay together no matter what.
I can't get back with him even though we have a son coz I'll end up having a break down or having my own mental health problems in the future coz of him and I won't put my kids through all the mental torture off him again. I don't want to stay on my own either I want to be in a happy loving respectful relationship so I kind of can guess which route I'll end up going down already. I've been questioning the truth for a long time but More so after things I've been told off elders and other sisters about having to put up with abuse. I can't imagine a loving God could stand to see someone so unhappy coz of a bad marriage mate and expect them just to live with it. There are other doctrines that have nn's questioning the truth too especially Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
