The answer is YES in my case. For some of you wonderful people on here will remember I asked a few questions and was concerned about my wife becoming a Jehovahs Witness,...well, she is baptised now and fully fleged (committed).
I have been called possessed by satan , mentally ill, a schitzophrenic and was beaten emotionally and mentally. Eventually I had to leave our house after 2 years of this situation getting worse. After many non - productive discussions about the bible , the watchtower, creation issues etc etc.. left both of us with hate and vindictiveness. All her decisions are based on someone elses writings and not from our family join decisions. We, ( myself and step son) suffered her constant attempts at trying to get us to listen to the supposed truth about the coming of the new age, biblical scriptures, the laws of thermodynamics.,.... ( that which she doesn't know the first things about). All of which both myself and her teenage son rejected in favour of reason, free thinking..and historical facts which the JWs appear to be lacking in the area that history proves that things are gettin gbetter for humanity not worse!!! We, also on social gatherings had to suffer the bible being pulled out and quoted from. I had emotional issues and instead of support I got a "cold" wife with bible in hand.
I am now homeless.
When my wife turned around to me and told me , after 8 years of marriage that she didn't trust anything I said because I was not a Jehovah Witness member I realised that those people in the organisation she has know only a comparitively short time hold sway over her thoughts and feelings to the detrement of our family.
Why you may ask did this break our marriage up?...............Well, I questioned and argued against the organisations good reputation, questioned their doctrines, warned my wife they were false prophets, got angry at her for being obsessed and not trying to reason what the fact were about the watchtower predictions, refused for any teaching to be given to my 6 year old son and banned her friends from comming around our house on christmas eve (I got the distinct impression that they had come around to gloat over her refusing to celebrate christmas).
After I refused to celebrate our marriage aniversary in protest over the chrstmas and birthdays issue she got hostile. Then acted like an victim.
If you can believe that she has constantly tried to find any excuse to call me a bad father when dealing with our son over video games and film content, it would be true. I have commented on how much censorship needs to be considered when teaching the bible to young impressionable minds. There are many horror stories that children need not know, I got an agressive, abusive and hysterical reponse in defense of her stance.
I have witnessed the hate against a neighbours child who is terrible but also in need of forgiveness,. I sponsored him for money raising for charity and she hit the roof!!. She decided that she is "chosen",.....After 2 and 1/2 years the nightmare continues. Anyone wonder why some people actually hate the organisation then this is why!!!!!
Any husband whos wife, (or visa versa) comes into contact with that organisation and falls for their lies is going to have a tough time. My advise would be to not get angry, be patient and loving. My lesson which I learned too late.
The Watchtower spread a disease by gentle persuation and coertion by promising what they cannot deliver. They spread mistruths. Don't let your family suffer like mine is!!!
