So I guess it comes down to the fact that the organization is not as united as we were always told. Depends on where you live and who you are.

When you're fed-up and Miserable.......
by ScoobySnax ini just spent 5 days down in devon in the south west of england and had a fantastic time unwinding and seeing my 2 nans, catching up with my cousins, having a couple of beers in a pub with my extended family the other side of the country.
it was fantastic to see them all again.
i'm a sucker for being made a fuss of.

I usaull grab a bottle of red, a heap of Junk food and the kids and I have the night off.
No homework, no bed time, just hang out together having fun.
Then we usually crawl into bed together and fall blissfully asleep.
It's amasing how great we all feel in the morning.

Were You a Little Prude JW?

prudes, (especially jws) are so judgmental.

Believe me, not all JW's were prudes!
There's something about being a goody, goody elders daughter that really brings out the Devil in some girls!lol nic.
You must have been in my cong.
Yeah I was one of those, c'ept i didn't pretend to be good.
Was by no means prude at all, much to the frustration of my parents, especially my mother.
Now at least I don't feel guilty for being normal.

Assemblies suck
by Nosferatu indidn't it drive you up the wall how, after a long week of working or going to school, you had to spend your entire weekend at an assembly?
the saturday and sunday that you could've spent catching up on some yard work, or even relaxing was wasted away by sitting in a bunch of chairs, listening to stuff you've heard many times before.. i know this used to drive me up the wall.
it felt like i had absolutely no time to myself during these weekends.

I loved them when i was a little kid, we lived in a country town so assemlies always ment giong to a bigger town an staying fot he weekend, we always got KFC for dinner, yum.
When we moved to a bigger city it hated it, never got to do anything different. Only exciting part was checkin out the cute guys.
Once I got married andhad kids it was terible, having to get up real early and get everyting ready, pack lunches. Stop halfway ther to feed the baby. Chast kids around all day, yuck. A few times I said I wanted to go home, he diden't so I told him to get a lift with a friend and I was taking the kids home.
Don't know why her wanted to stay, he only slept through the whole thing while I chaced the kids aroung everywhere.

Lonely JW Ex Hubbie
by Lehaa injust got back from picking up my kids from my ex.. he'd called me to come pick them up early as he was trying to get some work finished and our daughter was cranky and getting in the way.
not a problem, it was not his weekend to have them, he's had them to help me out.. any way i get there and he looked terrible, realy sad and beaten.. i said he looked really bummed, he said he was and had been for a while.
i asked him if he had anyone to talk to and he said no.. i really felt sorry for him, really felt like inviting him round for dinner and a bottle of wine but knew that was not a good idea.. we stood there talking for about an hour.

thanks all.
Trouble is I don't want to get too close and give him hope that we'll get back together, he has a habit of junping to conclusions. And that will just make him worse.
I have COC but i'm still reading it, he doesn't like reading either.
I'm hoping i can get him alone to a meetup. I'll have to take things slowly though.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Would you change your past if you could?
by John Doe ini used to live with many regrets, thinking that i'd screwed up.
recently, i've been thinking that regretting past actions is not constructive.
sure, we should base our current actions by assessing the results of our former actions, but regretting decisions we've made is, in effect, yearning to change the person we are now or rejecting ourselves.

I've concluded that self-reflection is beneficial, but regret is bad.
Regret is living in the past, self-reflection is looking toward the future.
