So there is a rumor going around about 1914 and its possible demise!
I can’t help but think of the many and I say many divorces (not to make light of the matter) that JW families have had to deal with among their ranks over the years.
However, knowing how long the WTBTS and 1914 have been together and the thought of Mother (WTBTS) doing away with her ‘man’ (1914) after nearly 100 years of marriage is truly heart breaking for some.
Many old-timers probably still think of the old days when they were like any other happy couple; inseparable, always holding hands, romantic and the like.
And now it seems like Mother (WTBTS) is distancing herself from him (1914) more and more these days. They seem to talk less and less, least wise Mother (WTBTS) seems to talk about & mention him (1914) in conversation less and less. It seems like the love Mother had for him at first just isn’t there anymore. I’ll bet they sleep in separate beds now, maybe even in separate rooms!
Like any poor husband whose about to be divorced, I’ll bet that Mother winds-up with everything, even though she never would have come this far without his (1914) being there.
Oh, I remember the days she used to brag about him! 1914 this and 1914 that! Oh, how she would mention him in her diary and other journals. As far back as the 1950’s she would mention him, even thousands of times as she would write. Now it seems as the years have gone by Mother mentions him less and less in her writings, as few as a couple times in a year if any. How sad!
I wonder how she’s going to dump him. Will she brazenly throw him out the front door for all in the neighborhood & community to see? Or will she do it more discreetly, like out the back door, so as not to draw too much attention to herself and her divorced state? Or maybe they’ll wind-up staying together for the sake of the kids like so many other unhappy couples do. And they have produced their share of kids together, nearly 8 million! Wow!
Mother has already cashed-in on all the real-estate that with his (1914) help they amassed together over the years and now she has relocated to a place called Patterson, Walkill or Warwick, I’m not sure!
Mother is very much like a Black Widow Spider who after she is done with her mate, she kills him. Poor ole 1914, I wish him well!
