My ex-husband, who just started going to the meetings again after years away from the truth, told me that I was spiritually weak this evening because I don't go to the meetings, even though I listen to them over the phone. He said that listening to the talks over the phone is not the same as being there. Then he told me that I had a lack of love for others after I got upset about it, and that I needed to work on that and on getting to the meetings. I couldn't believe it! Here I am answering his phone calls 6-8 times a day, and listening to him go on and on about his life, and he tells me I have a lack of love for others?

That is a lovely reply, Neil. Very encouraging! I'm sure Karin you can see how Jehovah views your efforts in serving him, and that whatever our fellow brothers and sisters, or family members or ex's say can never change how much Jehovah loves us.
Rom 8:38, 39 " For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor governments nor things now here nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other creation will be able to separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -
The way he was talking to me yesterday Neil, is the same way he used to speak to me while we were married. Always putting me down, making me look spiritually weak. Even after our divorce, when he was attending the meetings, he used to treat me this way. Maybe it's just something that he needs to work on. At least he doesn't treat other women this way.
From now on, I think I'm just going to ignore it when he puts me down. I'll keep my mind focused on some of the reasons you gave me Neil as to why he may be acting this way toward me. Then I won't get so upset over the things he says to me.
Thanks so much Neil. You've been a great help to me.
