“JWs absolutely hate Ctaholics. they’re anti-Catholic in every way, shape, and form”
true, but that does not mean we cannot pray for their conversion does it?
“Why feel miserable because he picked THEM over you. his wife?”
he is still with yessi is he not? why would he give up his marriage for them? has he done that? no. give him the benefit of the doubt friend. God works in mysterious ways as my mom says, and how do you know if it is not God’s plan for this man to see through his lovely wifes example of Christian life
that he might convert?
“Sorry, but if this were my husband and it were me I’d say, “ADIOS! Don’t come back” as he walked out the door to his meeting to people who seen no problems with bashing my religion and not being tolerant of who I was as a Catholic. I’d be picking up the phone after he walked out the door and call my lawyer. I’m sorry, but no man is ever going to treat me like that”
This is harsh… do you not think that her perseverence in her marriage might be what God wills so that her husband sees the real truth? or ought we to all walk away from a non believing spouse and just give up easily? if i did that, my former evolutionist husband would not be on the road to baptism as a Catholic now would he? i could’ve packed it in and left him because he did not want to be a Catholic, but i did not, and where is frank at now? he studies the Catechism and he is close to being baptised!
“If I were you, I’d stop praying and re-think your marriage to him. From all of the conversion stories I’ve read at
The Fellowship of Catholic Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses website and from all the EX JW guests I’ve heard on
The Journey Home program with Marcus Grodi on EWTN, many JW men are abusive tot he women. If you read the conversion story of
Serena Conn at The Fellowship of Catholic Ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses site, she mentions being engaged to a JW at 17 who wound up raping her. She called off the wedding and never told anyone about it because she didn’t follow the Watchtower Society’s admonition that all rape victims had to scream or else they were guilty of sexual immorality. The JWs can and will disfellow a woman for having been raped on the grounds of fornication because of their un-educated views on this.”
why should yessi stop praying for her hubby? i prayed for almost 6 years for my husbands conversion, and look at where frank is at now!! NEVER stop praying!!! the devil loves it when we do not pray! yessi does not need to rethink her marriage. she loves her hubby and he obviously loves her, she has a good man who is obviously confused and reaching out for truth, only he is not getting truth. he is searching in the wrong place. he will sooner or later find the truth. not ALL jw men are abusive to their wives either. some are really good men, the ones who are abusive need to be dealt with by the law. and the society needs to boot them out. but they don’t for the most part do they? no. that galls me.
"I’m sorry, but the JWs aren’t as “rosy” and nice as they appear to be and the men treat the women like ****. Any man who marries me and chooses this cult over me can bank on never seeing me ever again. If he can’t take care of my needs like he should then why keep him around? "
not true. not all jw men treat their wives as inferior. not true. i’ve known alot of jw couples and that statement is untrue. unless you’ve been there, you cannot fairly comment on that.
yessi’s hubby obviously loves her a great deal, so do not comment that if he cannot take care of her needs, she ought to kick him out. marriages can be worked out and him going to the hall when she is sick is not nice, but she can speak her concerns to him. chances are, he will feel badly about it, but remember, the indoctrination is what makes him go all the time, and this is a heavy heavy indoctrination, and it does not mean that he has not worried about her health when he was at the meeting, and when he comes to see the truth he will feel really badly about leaving her at home when she was ill. trust me, he will feel badly about it, and he likely already does but wont say anything because he wants to please the elders to be reinstated, but at the same time, he loves his wife dearly. he is caught in a vicious cycle of the watchtower, and he is having a difficult time of it. we MUST pray for him! not give up on him!
where would all of us ex witnesses be if someone did not take the time to care for us, and to set an example for us to follow?
in the society, miserable and lonely and hungering for God and for truth. we’d be caught up in their vicious cycle of mental control and indoctrination and never know real freedom, and never know Jesus Christ. we’d be stuck on a hell bound train.
Thank God for people like Yessi who are tirelessly patient with us!!! thank God for people like Jeff and his lovely wife who show us the TRUTH and we come out of the lies and deciet of the falsetower and embrace freedom in Jesus Christ!
Thank God for the Catholic Church!
So, now I’m left in the dark again.
But in a way I got my way again, 
while he was gone, I finally had the courage to put up a picture of baby Jesus and 2 marble angels I got from my grandma a while ago, plus a Rosary and a scapular I always used to hang on those angels… I put it off for so long just so it wouldn’t bother him, but I finally decided it was time to do it…
so my prayers are with you!
Be a witness to your own Catholic faith for him. Be the best wife you can be and if it is hard for you to do sometimes then offer it up.
