well, the worst case scenario happened in my life,.
i had a topic awhile back about, have you ever thought about leaving your mate for someone else??.
i never updated as much as i should of ?.
way too early to talk about forgiveness..she's still in contact with him? (a no no if your both wanting to work things out)
definitely get counseling if you both want it to work. and if at all possible work on not becoming bitter. anger is healthy..bitterness will just eat you inside out. ( wish i'd had that advice back when my ex cheated)

brummie's thread about "unwritten prophecies" made me think more broadly about unwritten stuff among jws.
this one is not a prophecy, sounds more like a "urban legend".. there were stories circulating among french jws in the 70's about people suffering of some unexplained illness, until strange demonic "artworks" were discovered in the feathers of their pillows.
some were almost dying as the "work" was almost completed.
only thing i can think of were all the talks about records being played backwards and the evil demonic sublminal messages in them. i still dont know of anyone who got the devil from Queen...
...that helped the wt to recover after 1975 failure.
all of us could document the written false prophecies of the wtower, 1799, 1874, 1914 -15-18-19-1935-75.by 2000....etc but how about the unwritten ones?
can you document any?.
the birds.. southeast usa in the 70s.. millions of black birds that would darken the sky.. everyones cars and yards were full of bird feces..i was a kid and heard i dont know how many talks on how the birds would eat your eyeballs. skeered the jeebers out of me!
talks during the "youth' book years when a brother would ask all kids that were in school to raise their hands and then say LOOK, before these kids can graduate high school THE END will be here!
it wasnt written but it sure was spoken!
anybody who has read my other recent posts...... don't worry, this is absolutely not about me feeling that way... i'm very happy, thanks..... .
my roommate, however, had a friend who committed suicide a couple of weeks ago and she just broke up with her boyfriend and he was saying things similar to what the guy who committed suicide awhile back was saying just before he took his life.
it is freaking her out.
i've known a few people who have attempted and a few who succeeded.
the younger people seemed to just feel like there was no future. one had joined the marines to spite his family then the time came for him to go and he tried to get out of it and of course you cant get out of it... felt like his life was out of his own control ..killed himself right in front of his mother. .. . some got messed up on serious drugs and were just not themselves. some are victims of horrible crimes ..some their lives have been devastated thru the loss of a loved one .Life is so ugly sometimes that there is beauty in the relief of death. however wrong that statement is, a lot of people have been there.
it breaks my heart and i feel like they are deserving of compassion. and their families as well deserve the right to grieve, accept support and comfort..(hugs kls)
its a complex subject, which is why i always felt like the " you'll never be resurected if you commit suicide" blanket statement was bogus. there are too many different reasons that people choose that route for them to be judged so harshly.

i used to be blonde.
i read the post where some kid let go of a helium balloon at a convention, and everyone was watching it.
when i used to attend the conventions, i loved distractions.
i always heard multiple "pssst" sounds from people opening cans of cott cola.
one assembly while walking the halls with a whiney baby, one of those brothers with the " PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEAT" signs was surrounded by a passle of young nubile hot babes , eating up the attention, i gave him a look and he flipped that sign up in my face , i said " i know your mother" and he huffed and told the girls bye and started walking with his sign again..( i didnt a bit more know his mother than anything but he sure must be skeered of her lmao)
btw I HATED THOSE SIGNS! thought they were infantile and rude and totally inappropriate.
