WAW Using God II

[pigskin]

Then I would go to the pastor as a man of God and explain to him that you are struggling with something and see if he'd be willing to listen. It's the truth after all.

If your W is seeking Godly intervention or whatever, you can't control it, true. But to satisfy your own spirit, I don't see why you can't ask him the same theological questions you ask here.

Make the emphasis on you and not on your W.

I think her thinking needs to be exposed to the light. Just IMHO.

I can't say this for myself because the guy who tried to get me fired with the OM was a pastor. So I'm more than a little distrustful of them right now.

But honestly Bond, I'm not struggling with the implications of it. I KNOW it is ridiculous, hypocritical, and just plain wrong.

I think back to what robx said about trying to get my wife to eat a plate of food that absolutely disgusted her and asking her to ask God for help.

Me going to the pastor would be trying to get someone to tell my W to reconcile. That wouldn't work. She'd probably quit going to the church. She'll only come back to me if she WANTS to come back. And honestly, that's the only reason I would want her to have.

She said she is going to visit the pastor to discuss our situation with him, as I told her it might be a good idea before we put a stake in the heart of our R. I'm sure she'll hear everything she doesn't want to hear, and ignore it.
