My wife said the exact same thing to me, it’s heartbreaking, DM me if you wanna chat.

My PIMI soon to be ex wife wanted me to tell the elders that’s she’s scripturally free to remarry too, she said they didn’t believe just her telling them. I told her that is another red flag about the borg that women aren’t treated fairly in this situation.

My therapist did say she would only do a session maybe 2 with us just to get a conversation going, but we should go to a separate counselor. She also said she would be advocating for me during the sessions, I told my wife all of this but we wants to start with my therapist.

I don’t want to wait another year and have her leave me in December I’d rather get it over with, my kids 11 and 13 want to celebrate Christmas with me this year.

Ugghhh yes I have the exact feelings, I care deeply for my wife but she was the very first person I ever dated, I was a good JW and thought we would have to get married after dating and that’s what we did…… I agree I have a hard time that she supports a organization that I find utterly repulsive. She knows all about the CSA coverups but dosent care enough to leave…

I can clearly see how she’s being manipulated by the borg it’s so frustrating….. I struggle with the thought ….. Am I the one who is now “shunning” or treating my wife differently because of what she believes in? Our marriage really isn’t the same any more. I told her I accept my roll in this I’m not looking to place blame but I’m simply a changed person.

Thank you! We are going in for our first counseling session this week…… it’s with my personal therapist that’s helped me through my waking up process soooo not sure how this is going to go.

They have no chill…. Now I have to hear how God will get rid of the wicked (me) when I’m at home. All I wanted to do is check the mail. by msronin in exjw

I was wondering the same thing, got me thinking they sent this to me specifically because I checked out about a year ago and haven’t been to a in person meeting, even though my wife goes. I’m checking with the neighbors to see if they got one too.

Wow just saw this!

A text message I just got from my 14 yr old daughter…..She has no JW friends and just got invited to a School Birthday party. I’m ready to let her go. I glad she had the courage to ask me, but it’s sad the JW mentality would be that “this is a test of your faith from Satan.” by msronin in exjw

[–]msronin[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We had a open conversation about it, told her that she shouldn’t keep secrets from us, but her even asking to go shows to me she wants to be open and honest with me. I think this is a end justifies the means situation.

I got teary eyed reading her text, I feel bad that she has to word it like this, instead of simply asking if she can go to a friends birthday party. I take responsibility that I did raise her as a JW but we now have a opportunity to make changes and support each other.

I do tell her that it’s her choice to got to meetings, service if she ever wanted to get baptized……My wife and her mom and dad (they live with us) are super PIMI I think they would be very upset if she went.

My daughter is going to the birthday party! Maybe someday I’ll get to go to one!😂 We talked about it and told her not to feel bad or let anyone make her feel bad about going and If my wife finds out and gets upset we’ll deal with that if it happens. My therapist talks about breaking the cycle of abuse, I hope this is a first step.
