  My Wife Wants To Go To The Memorial!

  by minimus in

  i think she's not ready to let go of that.

  i told her if she really felt she had to go, i would go with her at a different hall.

  i don't want to go!!

  I think it's lovely that you're even considering it for your wife minimus but...

  when I was at meetings they'd use people who came back for the memorial as an opportunity to 'prove ' (to others-eg bible studies like me and' weak' ones) that when you leave you know it's still 'the truth'..and attending the memorial is that proof-showing that you're too weak or selfish to live the life full-time.and I could'nt go, even for someone else as they might 'use' my attendance to encourage someone else...

  I was blasted the first year I did'nt go...and the second-by phone-I was asked incredulously, how could I miss it? and told I'd now crossed the line...I told her if my concience would'nt let me attend meetings because of the behaviour of some elders and the UN involvement , how could I be a hypocrite and go to the memorial? I still get the memorial week mags pushed through with th invitation inside....but no calls.

  Why not open a bottle of wine and hold your own memorial for your wife, jus the two of you?

  Are you proud that you're an Ex-jw?

  this is a spinoff of the thread "are jw's embarrassed about being jw's?".

  i want to ask, are you proud to say that you're an ex-jw?

  do you no longer have a problem with admitting that you used to be a jw?.

  Did you ever catch an Elder doing something "Un-theocratic"?

  i remember finding 2 week old lottery tickets in a elders car i was working on.

  he said they must have been from the previous owner.

  he owned the car for over a year and a half and the lottery tickets were just a little over two weeks old.

  Does constantly eyeing me up like a perv,stealing thousands of pounds of equipment, talking about his sex life graphically, lying, swearing, telling everyone he was hounded out of work when really he left quickly as he's been exposed as a dirty old man, sexual harassment in the work place,giving talks about honesty,along with bribery and cheating other witnesses out of property/money count?

  but still appointed by jehovah apparently.......and still an elder......

  when you don't have much family left because they are all lost in the religion, you hang on to the family you have.

  i take care of my aunt (who is only 2 years older than i am).

  she is a drug addict and alcoholic.

  Women don't lie and men don't listen

  by Maverick in

  2. relationships

  stole the line from doc love.

  but it is true.

  women will tell you all kinds of things about how they think and what they feel but the average man is too hung up in his own wants and ego to listen.. i will pick just one thing to use as an example.. when the woman you are with talks down to you or throws out a zinger at your expense she is telling you she has contempt for you and no respect!

  How is she being loving if she denigrates your manhood? Wake up!!!! When a woman is happy with what you are doing they will never go there. They will never try to make you look stupid! If they are being unkind then you are soon to be replaced or worse made into her verbal punching bag! Do you want that? Go ask all the sorry married men at your local bar tonight and see what they have to say. Don't think with your little head, boys! It won't get better and she'll only get meaner.

  whoa, Maverick, (((((((you having a bad day?))))))))) perhaps something the man has done made himself look stupid and the woman was just pointing it out? If I was being stupid i'd expect to be told...

  And perhaps the men at the bar should have taken their wives with them...? could never understand the his 'n' hers drinking thing-when i'd get left behind to baby sit I certainly had something to say about it.

  Ladies, what kind of fragrance (cologne) do you like?

  by dustyb in

  i had this french stuff named "angel" by theirry mugler and it drove my g/f wild.

  but it got stolen, and the downside of it is its 100 bucks roughly a bottle.

  i don't mind paying, i was just wondering if there's any other good smelling cologne, because i hate going into stores to "shop around".

  ok freeze frame today.......out of all the interactions with others and goings-on, was there anything remotely interesting that happened to you today?

  today is probably a typical day, in your probable and predictable all too short life.... this 24 hours was probably similar to yesterday and maybe similar to tommorow.

  but i want to know what was the most interesting thing that happened personally to you.
