Also PTA to answer another of your questions. Yes !any one can attend the Assemblies
UNLESS they recognise you. I was escorted OUT of the assembly I was trying to attend.
But I have to tell you why I was recognised ,I was on the Sally Jessie Rhapheal show( TV) also" Roughcuts"
Also the "Shirley Show"Only telling the truth about the experiences of one that was a JW.
So do be honest with your bride to be. Because if she becomes one your life will be a real heart ache

grace, Renia simply projected her own lack of committment and love toward God to others here.. She has also projected immorality toward others, as well as an array of things. She has projected, repeatedly, her own shortcomings to others. She is a real pity.

I don't know of any JW marriages that survived when one mate was an unbeliever. My parents broke up after my mom joined the JWs. First my dad lost all his friends because of her, and later she threw him out because he made it clear that he'd never join. My marriage broke up after I left the JWs because I refused to be treated like a second class citizen in my own home. I knew a guy whose wife joined the JWs, and he eventually joined because she threatened to leave him if he didn't. I could go on about at least a dozen other couples.

It's one thing to allow her to worship as she pleases, but for most JWs that's not enough. They are not content to allow you to worship, or not, as you please. They insist on imposing their views on others. Over the years, you will slowly become alienated from your "worldly" family because a JW spouse will not attend family get togethers if they take place on a birthday or holiday. My ex would not even visit my dad with me, because he wasn't a JW. She used to sit in the car and read her watchtower while I visited him. If you have children, she'll put up a fight when they're sick and need a blood transfusion. She'll also teach them that you are "worldly", and therefore will die at armageddon because you are wicked.

If I'm ever stupid enough to go back to that cult I hope someone in my family will have the good sense to kill me and stick me in a bunch of zip-lock bags.

Well Mine lasted for 42 years I was a JW he was Catholic.
On the Conferance call last week Ernest Zenome & his wife have been together
for 45 years. Yes! it makes it very difficult, I used to take beatings when I
preached....But Ernie said they truly love each other ,though they cant pray
together or discuss their GOD!!!! So it shows that the WT even tells folks NOT to
think anyone else loves the Creator.ONLY THEM!!!! Who even spells
GODS SON WITH A SMALL g Shame on them.... ( John 1:1)

if the kids are grown and not even going to meetings and visitation is no problem then its not really like she needs to go back for the kids, has she been studying with the ex while shes round there?

if hes zealous it seems a little odd that hes not thought about the 'protocol'

is it really an out of the blue thing?

hi nelly136, i have often wondered if they have discussed this without my knowing and also wondered if she has visited the hall that is local to them but as they live 60 miles away without actually following her i can't confirm this. this jw feelings haven't come out of the blue but the wish to go to the assembly has, i suppose to some extent i dismissed her desire to return to jw life because of the seriousness of her df. as i i have said earlier she was df'd originally for adultry but she now smokes as well, she is living with me a non believer and yes we have had sex together so in their eyes she is a fornicator and a smoker so therefore i assumed that she would not be allowed back for a long time and i guess i was hoping she would eventually give up, come to mention it, last year i was sorting some old stuff out in the bedroom when i came across some upto date watchtower mags hidden in a case, i actually was very upset and started a row over it, not because she brought the mags home but because she had hidden them from me, i haven't seen any since but i suppose she could have left them at her ex's.

nelly136

so how long do the visitation visits last? 60 miles is a bit of a trek we talking drive there and back in one day?

ptrehearn152

sorry for late reply been tied up with other things, yes nelly136 this is a drive there and back gets there approx 1130-1200 leaves about 4-5 to come home this is once a fortnight.

nelly136

if the kids are old enough and drive would inviting them over to yours for the weekend be impractical? or maybe bringing them back over to yours and you going for the drive? if not every other visit maybe every other or so

if theyre not going to the meetings then its not like theyve got to rush back, it might be worth finding ways of involving/inviting yourself a bit more instead of keep being left out on the fringe.

ptrehearn152

just a quick update, the assembly has been and gone, she didn't go, i haven't shown it but i am quitely pleased, it's actually a big relief for me and maybe it's dawning on her that she doesn't need the jw way of life, perhaps this is the road to recovery!
