  Moral:Relationships founded on lies WILL NOT LAST. All a jw can do to a non jw they are involved with is LIE. They hide who they really are and what they really think and feel. It's all a game to get you where they want you. I was thoroughly deceived. Why would you allow yourself to enter this type of arrangement knowingly? Walk away.

  I married a jw and got baptised about 2 years after we married. I did it out of love, i did it for him. I wanted us to be one unit. While we dated, he hid me from friends but in all reality he was very "weak" and not really a practicing jw. looking back, i felt like he lied to me about who he was as a person. He was ashamed to introduce me to friends even after we married bc I was worldly. Imagine how I felt. He was df'd, even though we got married, and he shared intimate details about us tothose damn elders. I felt humiliated. Eventually, with time, I swallowed the whole sexist notion taught at meetings that the man is the head and the woman just follows along. I really believed it would make our marriage happier. Not. Misery instead.

  Long story short, thebeginning of our relationship was marred by lies and deceit. All bc of his jw background. It tarnished our relationship, and I didn't realize it until MANY years later. There was that sense of him wanting to rescue me from the wicked world wheb in fact he was the one that needed rescuing. Raisingg our children as jws was demoralizing. I hated that my children did not enjoy the little things in life that children are supposed to. The meetings were TORTURE for the entire family. I thought it was the truth, but as years went on, the cracks surfaced everywhere. I was unhappy.

  Now myhusband and I are separated after 14 years of marriage. I blame the WT society for a good portion for the misery we endured together. We did not have the opportunity to fully be ourselves. He has also disappeared from our children's lives (sadly, as I prayed that would not happen) and has not paid child support in months. He has abandoned us, this so-called jw.

  i explained that i had da'd early december, due to many reasons, ie; paedophile cover-ups, doctrine, hypocrisy etc etc....... she said she would keep in touch and we'd meet up in february when we would be visiting her area.

  i also asked for her df'd sister to get in touch.. guess what?

  not a dicky bird.. i've seen on her facebook page that she she still has some very active witness mates, she obviously wants to stay friendly with.. i feel like i've been hurt all over again by this stupid ass cult that ruins good friendships totally.

  I had a very similar situation happen to me. I was friends with ayoung woman who.had never been baptized but came to meetings off and on. (Her mom and sis are jws. And her sis married into a large family of jws.) Well, she got pregnant and got married-- and neither of them are jws although they both studied together. That stopped when the husband realized he couldn't keep up with all the rules.

  Many often made fun of her and insulted her behind her back. I defended her at every turn bc I thought she was awesome! We talked after the meetings, I visited her at her home, she came to a girls night party I had. In other words-- we were FRIENDS!

  So oneevening after being df'd and feeling very depressed I contacted her and we talked. She didn't know I was df'd but I told her in the conversation. We talked for a long time. She told me that she loved me for me. I was unfriendedon FB shortly afterwards. That's how powerful mind control is!

  Hi H,

  We're sitting next to each other @ Maryland Av Starbucks. This email msg contains 16 independent proofs that Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only true religion. The Witnesses are the only religion that accurately teaches anybody the 16 doctrines in the table, below, on this page. Joh 13:35 is a one verse proof because JWs are the only group on the planet that doesn’t go to war. The proof that their New World Translation (sigla NW) is the very best of over 400 translations in English is its Reference edition of 1984 (pub code “Rbi8”) appendices (apps) 1, 3C, 4A-C, 5C & 6 in the Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY (WOL), here:

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/lv/r1/lp-e/0/2

  (By the way, the *main* Heb manuscript (MS), Stuttgartensia, is in its “Introduction” & the main Gk MS, “United Bible Societies, Third Ed.” (sigla UBS3), is in app 6B. Above the line of its critical apparatus, UBS4 is identical to UBS3.) The pub code “bh” means the Teach book. The most important thing is, in the language of Ur choice, please, listen to the stream or audio download of (or read) bh’s 14 apps which can be clicked on on the lower right side, here: jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teach/the-divine-name-its-use-and-its-meaning/

  The pub code “td” means Topics for Discussion & is 12 pages that start on page 1652 (in English) in the back of the medium-sized, 1984 bible (pub code “bi12”) which can be downloaded as an .epub or .pdf, here: jw.org/en/publications/bible/bi12/books/daniel/2/

  The pub code “rs” means the Reasoning book, a 445-page doctrinal statement (on super-thin rice paper so the Jay Dubs can easily carry it w/ them), here: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1101989283
