  thats what my soon to be exhusband just said to me.

  i finally after 25 years of dealing with him and the jws and a litany of other shit, told him two weeks ago i want out.

  he wrote me a letter this week and made a list of allllll the things he hates: about my beliefs, the fact that i left jehovah, broke my vows to god, my hobbies, celebrations, what i watch on tv, my parenting, keeping the kids out of the jws, not having any friends....and then said well i dont hate "you".

  You've been betrayed and it hurts no matter how much leaving is your idea. I was in your place, worked on getting out of the marriage without causing hurt feelings (as much as that's possible) and trying to ease the kids into it. Within a couple of weeks after he finally left, I found out he'd been having an affair for nearly a year! I was pissed!

  It won't take long for you to get past this and thank her for making it easier.

  Some men just need another boat to jump on to when they see theirs sinking!

  How true, Wasblind! They'll continue to look the other way. Must be big checks in that contribution box. Doesn't she "allow" Michael's kids to celebrate Christmas, too?

  form the pro-jw site jwtalk.

  this is such a ronald mcdonald court case.

  i can't believe what i am reading.. lie: "the lawsuit alleged that watchtower had a policy that instructed elders in its jehovah's witnesses congregations to keep reports of child sex abusers within the religious group secret to avoid lawsuits.".

  He's not just roaming free; he's a registered sex offender. This will bring his name up to the public in a big way and act as a warning to others.

  So sorry for the young woman but I hope this gives her some closure and compensation. And I hope it encourages others to speak up. I'm so tired of hearing people say the WTS is just a harmless though a bit odd group. They are anything but harmless!

  How Will the Society React to the Hundred Year Anniversary of 1914?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's only a couple of years away now and what a headache it must present to the gb - providing they have given it much thought already.

  there probably is no elegant way of presenting the hundred year long failure of the end to come; the fact that the "short period of time" of satan being cast down to the earth has now stretched beyond any credibility.

  but they have to deal with it one way or another.

  I'm ignorant. I have no idea what this is. Is it bad for me to admit this?

  Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...

  by okage in

  2. beliefs

  1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.

  they talked about it in conventions.

  they supported it in many of their publications.

  It's frustrating that "they" say this was never taught. What outright lies. A young family in our congregation in PA gave up everything. The couple had three young children, the dad had a good job for Piper Airline, they had a nice home. The father quit his job, they sold the house (irionically to the PO!) and moved to a remote area of the state to preach the end. After a couple of years the money had run out. They were living in a (practically) abandoned house, scraping for money for food and heat. I've lost track of them but wondered what became of them. Such a nice family.
