for those of you who have been here for a long time and have supported so many people, i'm sure you've dealt with this and are probably sick of the topic.

i thought i was fine; the relationship was not well, so the right thing to do is to either fix it or move on.

well, it doesn't seem to be that easy.

Octavia, I believe you have the power to change what is wrong in your life....even if you need "help"...it is worth the effort.

Life can be better...and will get better. Just concentrate one day at a time, or if that is too huge, an hour at a time.

Hugs,

Breakups are very difficult.

No, I don't think you are being punished by Jehovah. The fact is: maybe the relationship wasn't right? Maybe you weren't with the right person?

I had to tell myself that many times and still remind myself of that fact, after my 20 year marriage failed and my cheating husband was a repeat cheater. Many times we are couples when we know deep down things are not working.

I agree that you should read: "The Road Less Traveled"....I read it 6 months ago....and I found the very reason why my ex was so defective and why I put up with a cheater for 20 years. I couldn't believe it, 2 pages of that book had my life in it almost to a tee.

Take care (((Ocatavia))), we are here for ya whenever you need someone to talk to.

Elders and Servants

by Bryan in

i believe the body of elders was created in the early 70's, as opposed to the one elder running the show.

please correct me if i am wrong.

my question is... 1963, where there servants under the presiding elder?.

Bryan:

So sorry to hear about the obvious "lack of love" you experienced in your life from the elders..who are suppose to shepherd the flock with such tenderness.

Actually, that is the very thing that brought me to this website...that and seeing the Dateline special almost 2 years ago exposing the child pedophile issue within the WTBS....I despise hypocrisy...

Mr. CB grew up with a member on this board, and somehow they got reunited after we relocated about a year ago, thru a high school website. They attended the same KH during their early teen life.

She sent Mr. CB a letter about her life in the truth(tm)...I almost fell over as to the unloving treatment she received. Mr. CB had received bad treatment way before I met him....She mentioned something about this site...of course, I couldn't go here because we were told not to read from the internet. However, she got Mr.CB to answer someone's question, because it deals with his field of expertise at work. I wanted to read his response...and I started reading more people's experiences, and I realized that I felt more at home here than I did at the KH...wow...what a shock.

Yes, I agree with Puternut's answer. I have heard there are designated elders reading this site as a lookout for ones in their kh that might be posting here...I guess you know why some remain so anonymous?

There's something about Miriam

by Simon in

jw
friends

has anyone watched this?.

it has to be the cruelest show: 7 guys compete for one babe's affections but none of them know that "she" is really a "he" !

it's actually quite scary to watch 'cause she is quite attractive - i got caught out with that at the eurovision song contest (dana international) .

codeblue

Miriam is very attractive...much more attractive than some women are!!!
