probably more so than the population in general.. if you have been divorced do you think that the watchtower society contributed to the divorce, or caused it, or is it just possible you married some jerk or abuser and divorce would have occured no matter what religion you were, or even if you had no religion?.

possibly you got married way too young as the end was coming and there is no marriage in the resurrection if you died.

Fe203Girl. your post is exactly my sentiments. I didn't go too much into detail with my earlier post. But I wouldn't want to see my ex if he was the last man on earth too. Only if I could choke him.

When we divorced in 1979 and I gave birth to our daughter, he would have nothing to do with us. He said that I was the one who fooled around and it wasn't his baby. Well needless to say it was his. So I went on with my life, got remarried in 1984, left the borg in 1994. He had been disfellowshipped after I left him, he eventually got reinstated and back in good standing with the borg. What I really hate, is the fact that because since I left the borg, my jw parents and jw brother and his wife were instrumental in bringing a reunion between my daughter and my ex when she was 18 years, because now he accepts her as his daughter. Of course he didn't have to pay support for her any more. scumbags.

divorce is much more common in the jehovah's witness community than they would like to admit.

probably more so than the population in general.. if you have been divorced do you think that the watchtower society contributed to the divorce, or caused it, or is it just possible you married some jerk or abuser and divorce would have occured no matter what religion you were, or even if you had no religion?.

I've been divorced. I was married to a brother back in 1976. I was 18, he was 19. My thoughts at that time were if we didn't get along during our marriage, that armageddon was just around the corner and everything would be okay and we would live happily ever after. OH HOW WRONG I WAS

Don't get me wrong I did love the guy, but as things were it didn't work out, he was not ready for marriage. I believe the only reason he got married was so that he could get out from under his elder father, do what he wanted to do, so he wouldn't have to answer to anybody. He never wanted to spend time with me, he fooled around on me behind my back. We did get divorced in 1979, the year I had his child. I was able to remarry a wonderful guy as my found my ex in bed with another woman so I was free to marry

P.S. I believe the 1975 timeline caused a lot of problems.

here's something fun to think about.... since being da or df or just not going to meetings, have you readjusted your language?.

i'm taking about "going back" to saying things like.... "wow, you were lucky.".

"bless you.

Hey Onacruse, I mean Katie . You did it again.

yes "the truth" phrase was hard to get rid of. Although I think my husband finally scared it out of me. O how he hated that phrase once we were out, so as to not to have pain inflicted on me, I learned to drop that phrase pretty quickly. (I'm just kidding about the pain).

Back on subject I have freedom of speach now. I can say whatever I want, when I want.
