Yes i agree with you there xena, i stayed for years in a marriage i was unhappy with just because of the "truth", i eneded up doing the "deed" so i could be free, am d/f, and i couldnt be happier.

JW's and Marriage
by Xena ini am wondering how many jw's stay in a marriage because they have to?
i mean i know there are happy marriages out there (somewhere i am sure), but i have run across several jw wives who are just waiting on their significant other to commet "the act" so they can divorce them and move on with their lives.. divorce has become less of a taboo thing in the org, but it is still frowned upon and people that do divorce, even on the scriptural grounds, are somewhat stigmatized.
so i guess my question is what do you think the divorce rate would be if jw's could get divorced for any grounds with no repercussions?

What did you do during the written review
by truthseeker1 inby far the most boring part of all meetings is the written review.
what kind of stuff did you guys (male and female) do to pass the time.

I looked forward to the written review, i love to use my brain, and besides it always got us a no bible study night before, we had to prepare, i would write all the answers down and then cheat, the classic was my ex husband used to look over at mine so i would deliberately put some wrong answers in just to fix him up

I remember it all to well, it was one cold evening when two of the local elders came over to have a "chat" with me, it was the qorst night of my life, they came to tell me that i was a bad example for the brothers and sisters because i refused to speak with my inlaws, the reason why i refused to speak to them was because their son had molested my niece, and although he was disfellowshipped they continued to associate with him and help him get off from the police, the elders were aware of his molesting as apparently it had happened in the past before to other children by him, the elders could not see my viewpoint at all that my inlaws{my father in law was a ms} were condoning their sons behavior, i will never forget how i cried my heart to them on how bad i was feeling because of what had happened and how they just kept saying god forgives so you should forgive, but the straw that broke the camels back was as they were leaving my house and my husband{Who was also and elder and stuck with them the whole meeting} was seeing them out, they said to him, we feel so sorry for you and for what you have to put up with, needless to say i am no longer married or in the truth.

The big one at romans 13:1 be in subjection to the superior authorities, which in my opinion would mean reporting crimes such as child molesting, but the society encourage you not to go to the law.

hello
by maxwell ini'm a jehovah's witness who's doubts about god have been kinda forced to front by some adulterous acts on my part.
i don't really feel the the jw's are dangerous presently, at least not any more than any other religion.
i do feel the urge to free myself from it and my marriage within the week.

Hi Maxwell,
I too left the org and my marriage the same way, i went out with a bang shall we say, i confessed my indiscretion to my husband first and then to the elders, leaving was the best thing i did for me anyway, and now i have the most wonderful man in my life i feel so many years were wasted, brave desicion you have made and i wish you all the happiness you can find. -

Hey beck sweety, thinking of you as always, i know the feelings of deep dispair all to well, i even attempted my own suicide but failed, it is so hard to describe why we feel that way, for me it was a feeling of being trapped in a life i didnt want and all the expectations on me, you dont think of anything else at the time except wanting your pain to be over, i survived and now i am so happy in my life that it doesnt even come into my head anymore. Once again James and i are here for you whenever you need us, all you have to do is call.Love ya.
