  The injury happened to an ex girlfriend.

  After sex - safe sex, I went to the bathroom to dispose of the used bag and instead of throwing it into the toilet, I missed and it fell on the tile floor. I didn't notice I had missed and I went back to bed.

  A couple of hours later, my girlfriend got up in the middle of the night and I hear a huge bang and a scream. She had slipped on the used condom and hurt her hip pretty bad.

  The next day I took her to her doctor and she threw me under the bus and told the doctor it was all my fault because of my bad aim.

  As you can imagine, the relationship did not last long.

  What did you want to be when you grew up?

  as a child, what did you want to be, when you became an adult?

  if you could, would you want to go back in time, and become what you wanted to be in the first place?.

  as a child, i wanted to be a florist.

  First, I wanted to be a police officer, but the elders told me that I wouldn't be able to carry a gun.

  Second, I wanted to be an Archetiect? I thought I could design homes in the new system. That what got me through college.

  I ended up being an Environmentalist who designs programs to remediate contaminated resources.

  Did every congregation have one or two desperate singletons?

  by diamondblue1974 in

  .

  i remember in the kh i went to there was always at least one desperate singleton who would sniff around the single women particularly the ones which were his own age...he was mid 40s i seem to believe...never had a girlfriend and would have married anybody who wouldve had him.

  there was no real harm in him...just lonely i expect but i think he made most women skwirm.. what about you...did your hall have its own resident 'single sister stalker'?

  We had a few stalker brothers in my hall, but like some of the earlier comments, they would only date young teenaged girls.

  They were convinced that only a virgin would make a good christian wife.

  Sad to say most of these guy are now divorced and their young x wives have moved on to other relationships.

  I agree with your decision to go.

  I went to my announcement. I was determined not to let them think that they could defeat me. You have nothing to be ashamed of, so why not go and hold your head high with pride.

  Now you can move on to the next chapter in your life.

  Remember living well is the best revenge.

  Is it better to just LEAVE or FIGHT?

  by ljwtiamb in

  although, i have not been victim to the same level of damage from the wts as many of you on this site, i have noticed that it is very difficult to fight such a large entity with deep pockets and passionate (though misled) supporters.. .

  since i am still in the very early stages of leaving/fading, i wonder:.

  i have already spent the vast majority of my life sacrificially serving the interests of this org.

  I agree with Evilforce.

  You can fade and then chose to fight whenever you want. After being out for about a year I began to reach out to especially the younger people and I encouraged them to pursue their own dreams and not allow the borg to dictate their future. I also constantly call my Mom and other relatives still in the "troof" on the carpet about the false predictions and "new light" corrections that come from Bethel.

  I could not reconcile in my head that my dad and other relatives I loved were doomed for destruction at Armgo----.

  It just didn't make sense. How could a loving God punish my dad, when he was a good father and example for me.

  I decided that I did not want to serve a God that was so insecure that a person with a differing opinion on life must die.

  My rule was always 4 years.

  We needed to be in High School at the same time, even if it was for just one year.
