Help Me with JW wife

by kwijibo in

my jw wife is trying to push me out of the family home.

i am an inactive jw for about 5 years and she has begun putting pressure on me to leave.

do you have any articles for me to fight her with?

Thanks for all your good advice - i have held back on attacking her with Witness literature - seems to me like it would just antagonize her anyway.

Things are calming down and i will just have to stand my ground and see how long it can last - mean while preparing for the worst.

There is no major issues on my side apart from not going anymore.

I have no idea if she has been talking to the elders or not.

As far as i know she has not been thinking of someone else.

I have never stood in her way or the childrens when it comes to meetings and still say its their decision.

We have been arguing over money - she seems to have her head in the clouds when it comes to that.

I have not really thought about a marriage counseller but would be interested in one outside the congregation obviously.

What are the details of 'spiritual endangerment'?
Where can i find an article on it?

Thanks.

Yes kids are involved..

We have been shaky because she has been waiting for me to 'come to my senses' and now has snapped.

I do still love her though and refuse to leave.

I worry she can try to force me out through legal means but i need to find some articles to try a cut her off at the pass.

I found her Watchtower cd and found this in a WT article about wives:

6 When a wife presents Bible truth kindly to her husband and there is no response, then what? Should she act terribly disappointed? Should she then become angry? No! Instead of showing open disappointment or becoming angry with her husband, the Christian wife does well to close the matter when it is appropriate. She does not press matters too far, nor does she become overanxious.

7 Showing respect toward her husbandly head, the Christian wife would not use God’s truth to threaten him. (Eph. 5:33) Even if he rejects the truth, does not want to hear about it, or even treats his wife abusively, reviling her, she would not be justified in using the truth to threaten him. When her gracious words are rejected or she is treated abusively, the Christian wife does well to remember Jesus’ example. Concerning this, the apostle Peter wrote: “In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely. He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously.” (1 Pet. 2:21-23) That is the wise course for Christian wives.

I don't know if it would be enough if we were to present it to her - she would probably get more annoyed.

I realize she has to be subservient to her husband but seems to have gone past the point of caring. Thanks.

can anyone tell me what was wrong with the smurfs ?.

i heard some horrible rumours about them as a kid, something about some kid taking a smurf to the kingdom hall, it making a whole lotta noise and then trotting off up the aisle until some burley elder threw it out the back !.

while we are on this point anyone ever have things taken away from them for being demonic etc

kwijibo

Does anyone know the source of this story? I remember hearing that one about the smurf running up the aisle at the kh as well.

Did the society actually mention the smurfs at all?

this topic came up on slashdot, where some of the replies were...interesting, to say the least.. what would you guys say to yourselves, if you could send your 12-year-old self a message?.

i know that was about the age i began to read really well, and only five years later i left "the truth", so it was a crucial point in my life, as it is in the lives of many...?.

"hello self, this is...yourself speaking.
