this relationship has red flags all over it. He's controlling.. the relationship is making you co dependent..
and I think there might be someone else.. its just too weird...
why when you drive by unexpected is he not home? does he really live there?
okay, so my guy and i have been together for 10 months and we usually are ok together.
but there is something that has been getting to me and i think its unusual, but please correct me if i'm wrong - he won't let me sleep over at his house.
and he hardly ever stays at my house, he's maybe stayed here 3 times in our whole relationship.

and he doesn't even post here cause he's afraid of his wife.
lol!.
she came home from meeting thursday night and told him they had a local needs about the difference between "willfully" inactive ones and "discouraged" inactive ones.
well I feel bad for your brother as far as his marriage.. it has to be a strain..
kudos though for him breaking out of the brainwash mind set..
I wish him well..
I remember getting a cole sore on my wedding day (first wedding).. It was from nerves.. nothing more..
you may very well be deficient in a vitamin.. good luck
everyday, that i read, write, think and talk about the watchtower society makes me think whether or not i have really left it for good.. .
i fail to see the good in reliving the past in this way.
the discussion board features individuals that have 3 to 6 years on the board and individuals who have left the organization more.
when I first was on here, I used all of my posts every day.. I couldn't wait for them to reset! Thats 75 posts a day! But I was new leaving the dubs and it really helped to discuss things with others about the issues I was having.. It served a huge positive purpose for me from the moral support to exposing things about the WTS. My needs to be here have evolved. I don't post here as often as I used to.. although recently I am here a little more than I was for a while..
I do have good friends who are xJWs.. is that a bad thing? no.. not unless I am unable to make other friends as well.. and these good friends I have.. such as Simplesally and ApagaLaLuz, our friendships are not dependent on the fact that we are xdubs.. those friendships have evolved.. they are way beyond the fact we just happen to all be xdubs..
nor do I think anyone being on this board is a bad thing, unless it is their only life. I tend to come here between stuff at work.. it helps pass the day.
I used to say I'd never leave here because I wanted to help others out.. but I found helping much easier in chat. People would come in with questions.. it was a relaxed place to talk to them... since we lost chat, I have kind of lost that reason to be here to help. Now I just kind of comment in the threads that reach out and touch me..

!
hey Xena!! Hope all is well and happy with you and Ross!!
Love the avatar!
it's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.
as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).
last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.
we love both of you!! We're so happy you made it home.. get all the rest you need.. we'll be here!
when i was a little girl, i was very afraid of thunderstorms - every time we had one i thought it was armageadon (did i spell that right?)..
so what were you afraid of?
what made you think the "big a" was here?
whenever i saw an adventure movie.. (Independance Day for example) and they showed the catastrophy of destruction beginning.. it always worried me.. reminded me of the old orange Paradise book pictures... and of course even when I was an active dub I still thought I was unworthy.. thus afraid I might be one of those people who slip in the sidewalk cracks..
I was afraid of course to tell anyone
i've been away for quite awhile.
well, not really, just away from any discussion of that horrid religion.
i just couldn't give any more seconds of my life to talking about anything even remotely related to jehovah's witnesses.
great to hear how you are doing.. looking forward to seeing the clip when you get it done!
when i stumble across someone's long life story or a really good sounding long thread, i often cut and paste it into my nerdy little pda for later reading at the kingdom hell.. well, i did that for a life story from a poster who signed off as "dave" but i blew it and didn't get his username or the url for the thread.
his life story in a nutshell centered around a 2 week trip he made to bethell to work as a consultant for the art/graphics department back in the 80's.
it really woke him up and he subsequently left the dubs.
Hi Seven/Dave.. you've been missed..
doesn't seem like a big deal to me..
people have had cole sores and canker sores for years... some of them have the herpes virus... some do not..
but that form of Herpes is not that bad any way.. as has been said there are meds for it
