Maybe it's a career move... didn't Michael Jackson claim to be a JW at the peak of his career?

Does Anyone Else Ever Encounter This???
by ohiocowboy ini have been in a relationship for about 2-1/2 years now, and it seems that every time we have an argument or disagreement, it usually turns out to be my fault according to the other person, and my upbringing as a jw is always brought into the light, and also my depressive moods, this person knowing background of my exit from the org.
and the feelings it has caused me.
it feels as though they are using this as a "scapegoat", because even if that person comes home in a bad mood, or has to do something that they don't like, and an argument insues, i automatically am made the "bad guy", even though i was previously in a good mood before things started, and am reminded by this person how i must not be taking my antidepressants, or am thinking too much about my past, etc.

Hey OC,
I know that my partner and I have issues like this. I think any relationship does. Nosferatu is right, men and women think differently, but more essentially people think differently. It all boils down to our life experiences.
Not to sould like Dr. Phil or anything... but, dang it, he's right most of the time. When we were fighting more than usual, it was a communications thing. It wasn't that we weren't talking and weren't hearing each other; we weren't listening. I know it sounds corny, but when he says something that pushes my button, (after I fly off the handle and then apologize) I tell him, "You just said, 'Blah blah.' But what I heard was 'Blah blah blah.'" Or, "our comment made me feel yada yada yada."
As far as your partner not having been a JW, no matter how hard they try, they are never going to understand everything you have gone through. My partner is a wonderful, caring person, but when I talk about my past as a JW, his eyes start glazing over and he goes on auto-pilot. Communicate your feelings with your partner, let them know how it feels when your past is brought up just to be used against you.
Hope all gets better for you,

WOW am I glad I found this place
by jaredg ini finally feel like there is someone out there that understands what i'm going through.
my ex-girlfriend (and still best friend) try to understand but she just can't.
she supports me in being strong but it's just nice to vent to people who have been through the same thing.

Sorry, Cg. obviously they're not in the same league w/ madonna, Judy Garland, or Joan Crawford. Real WOMEN!!!! Not girls!
LOL!!!! Thanks, Avishai!
if you say you would throw any of these women out of bed, then you are more likely to be sleeping with brad pitt.
I would just like to point out that Brad Pitt is way past 18. He was 40 on his last birthday.

Any man who doesn't find peach-bloom skin, pert breasts, lissom curves, an edible ass and all the clear-eyed wonder that is eighteen attractive is probably gay.
Nope, I'm straight. They're so skinny they look like teenage boys in drag that have been hit across the face with a skillet. Anyone who FINDS them attractive is probably gay.Hey now! Don't be pushing that stuff over to my team!

The Popcorn Kernel vs. The Ear Canal
by imallgrowedup inhave any of you ever had your child (or know of a child) who decided to experiment with foreign objects and how they may or may not fit into bodily orifices?!
well, today, my child did!
since today is "no tv sunday," my son was bored to tears, as he is every sunday when we will not allow him to watch the television.

Three comments:
1) When I was a teenager, a buddy of mine threw a popcorn kernel at me and it went in my ear. Fortunately, I was able to tilt my head and "bang" my head with my hand and it fell right out. But it was a very wierd feeling. If it hadn't have fallen right out, I probably would have freaked out.
2) My parents did a "No TV" day. We called it "TV Sabbath" and it was every Thursday. It wasn't so bad during the school year, but during the summer it was torture! It lasted until I was old enough to get a summer job. I used the time to study for the following week's meetings... yeah right... study for the meetings....
3) Hope all goes well with your son's ear. Please keep us posted.
