JW parents are CRAZY
by Demokan inhello again, for those who don't know me i'm a 15 year old boy.
and recently my mom is displaying symptoms of demensia, she left the stove on today and she yells at us for watching commercials on t.v that are "demonic" because today there was a commercial on television for the new 300 movie and she started yelling at my sister to turn it off, and then i was listening to coldplay as a playlist while doing my school work and she started yelling at me to turn the demonic music off.
she says "demonic" this "demonic" that.

It sounds like someone needs to step up to the plate and be a role model in your family and perhaps it shold be you. Try to control your emotions because when you lose control like you do, you put yourself into the same mould as your family members. You can take
a stance on your position without losing your temper.....stay calm!

I received a beautiful card and a necklace for Valentine's Day. You deserve the same. As Dr Phil says, " you teach people how to treat you".

You should not love him more than he loves you and by his actions, he doesn't love you.
When my husband ateptempted to return to active JWism, I freaked. I let him know that I was devastated by his decision to destroy our relationship and our marriage. I told him that our marriage and him were the most important things in my life but if our marriage nor myself were not going to be his number one priority then somehow I would somehow pull myself away emotionally and find something else to make a priority. He kept saying that our marriage was important and he did love me. Iasked him what was more important me ot his religion. For a few days, he would only say that his religion was important too him too. I told him that was the wrong answer. I did start to withdraw, I would spend as much time as possible away from him and not tell him where I was. When I was home, I stayed away from him. We would sit and eat dinner in silence until one night when I blew up at the table and left in tears. He came to me, held me in his arms, and told me that he would not attend meetings for a while and that he I was the most important thing in his life. That was about a year ago and everything has been wonderful. There are times when I wonder what he is thinking about it all but I am afraid to bring up anything JW. I think that my husband knew that I was serious and that he was blowing a very good thing. Tell your husband yoir course of action and stick to it. You both are setting a terrible example of marriage for ypur child.
I never allowed any JW literature to be laying around the house. I would either throw it in the recycling bin or if I was being nice, I would put it in his underwear drawer. He would never have considered leaving it in the bathroom because he knew what use I would have found for it! I would have enjoyed that!

It is not important for everyone to produce offspring. I don't regret not having children. You can't speak for me or many others prologos. By the way, I was never a JW, so that did not influence my decision to not have children.

Talking with a nonbeliever...
by suavojr inin my search for the truth and the burning desire to become free from all forms of dogma and wishful thinking.
i have approached my first crossroads in my life, should i continue to believe in a god or not?.
currently i am leaning toward agnosticism, but all the suffering in the world, all the loss and pain in my own life makes it hard for me to simply let go of the idea and hope that at the end justice will prevail, that one day god can make it all good.. .

Religion is the root of most of the evil and wars in the world. People should just focus on how they can make the world a better place because God has failed.

Excellent responses Cofty but the tsunami was 9 years ago on December 26, 2004. Not that it really matters as your responses are all excellent. I am just a stickler for facts which is why I could never be a JW .

It doesn't matter how they met. They are married. Stop being so sensitive Frazzled. I can understand why Adam thought what he did. It is completely logical.
I had to put up with the JW BS this year too when my husband was pursued by the elders here and he was convinced that he was going to become active again after many years of inactivity. Well I handled tge situation as you did Fazzled. After him attending for a few weeks, I let him have it with both barrels too, telling him that there was no way this marriage could work with us having such opposing world views. I was the one crying uncontrollably though. I threatened to go to the elders and tell them all about us and how we had met online and had lived together for three years before we were married. I also told the pesty elder to stay away although I am not sure if my husband knows this. I also let him know that I was 100% sure that Satan was not influencing me in any of my actions. Well much to my surprise, he crumbled and said that he could not stand to see me like this and would not attend for a while. That was a year ago and things have been great between us although I do wonder what he is thinking but I don't want to rock the boat and ask.
Let your wife know that you will not walk on eggshells around her and that you will voice your opinion as you know that she is involved in a cult. I know that this goes against everything that weare told to do but it worked for me. I think that my husband was afraid that I would cause a scene, and he was right. I even threatened to follow the JWs door to door with my own literature.

I know how you feel KariOtt although my husband actually chose me over the cult. I gave him a choice, it was either them or me and miraculously, he chose me. I told him that I wouldn't stand for being second and that if our marriage was not going to be his number one priority then it was definitely not going to be mine. I said that I did not know at the time what I was going to find to replace my focus but that I would find something and that it would probably be a charity. I told him that I would not leave the marriage but that I would want him to move into a separate bedroom and that if he wanted, he could leave but that I was staying. I also told him that I would make it very clear to his non JW family members (which is his entire family) what was happening and that he had chosen this cult over our marriage. I also told him that I would also talk to the pesty elder that kept coming to our house and tell him that we met online and that we lived together for 3 years before we got married and that we had lots of great premarital sex. I let him know that I was devastated but that I would not be my husband's second priority and if I was then he would be mine.
Well much to my surprise, he chose me! I am not saying that it will work for you but it worked for me. I did have the advantage that neither his family (except one sister overseas) nor any of his friends are JWs and they like me. They would have been furious at him if he chose the cult. This was a few months ago and he has not attended a meeting since. I told the pesty elder to stay away and to my knowledge, there has been no contact between my husband and any JWs. My husband has returned to his non cult happy self and I just pray that it lasts. Good Luck to you!

"you are in a cult" Hubby hates it when I say that.
