  Why I Stayed Married to my "Apostate" Husband for 30 Years. Help for those whose marriages are in trouble now that you have left The Lie.

  by rubadubdub in

  i have to say i am surprised and am quite saddened to hear how many jdub marriages fall apart when one partner becomes an "unbelieving mate" or even an "apostate.

  " i thought i might post my thoughts on my thinking process during the time my hubby, bethelyellowdollarbag, in my jdub thinking moved along the path from an "unbelieving mate" to an "apostate" over the course of 30 years before i finally woke up to ttatt.

  "-1 corinthians 10:13.. *** it-1 p. 126 apostasy ***.

  NEW BLOOD CARD DIRECTIVE...

  by SkyGreen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the husband just gave me the new march km (im using it folded up as a coaster at the moment) and a new "blood card" to complete, along with a copy of a set of instructions for how to fill it out and a letter from wts to every baptised publisher.

  i said to him "i wont be needing that" and gave it back to him, and he just said, well just throw it out then - no overreaction yay :o) without telling him, about a month ago, (i tore up my existing no blood directive.

  our kids have never carried around "identity cards" we were never that diligent about it).

  Thanks :o) here only the parents sign the kids identity cards.... no elders witness them. I do plan on hiding all of the blank directives in his bottom drawer. he'll forget about them. If he asks me about it i'll say "why would i have it?"

  If he wants to make a stand about blood, I'll support him making HIS choice, but not for our kids.

  Re: Will you attend the Memorial this year? Why? Why not?

  2. friends

  you all had some interesting thoughts on that jw memorial thread.

  some of you mentioned that you are going so that you can set some sort of example.

  i gather that some of you believe that by going and eating, you are somehow showing them they can (or should) do it too.. that really confuses me.

  As I am a recent INACTIVE person, to keep the elders and my parents at bay and provide a bit of support for the husband, I will go this year for the last time/. And be fighting the urge to drink the wine when it comes round.... it always smells sooooo goooood.

  But if either of the kids are sick, I will be graciously volunteering to stay home with them... and enjoying a bottle of wine, some cheese n crackers. (Sorry im not a chocolate milk fan and ive never seen a pop tart here in SA)

  As a little girl I LOVED singing the original "pray to jehovah each day" song. I just loved singing.

  SD-7 i love your version. When I get the hang of youtube, i might have to upload a sound clip singing it. Without a bird on my shoulder. And I'll blow my nose first....
