  i think i'm screwed

  by georgefoster in

  2. relationships

  when i got married, my wife was an inactive baptized jw who promised me that she was done with it forever.

  i became daddy to her two children, ages 2 and 3. a few months after we got married, i walked in on her meeting with two jw elders.

  they tried to convince me that it was a great, harmless thing for her to be involved in.

  Protecting your kids

  by Lehaa in

  2. family

  just saw a great news report on how to protect you kids from predators.. it all revolves around a code word.. you and your kids agree on one.

  if someone different is to pick your kids up you give then the code word.

  if they don't know the word then the kids know that you did not send them.

  Bad Dates?

  by simplesally in

  2. relationships

  ran across these experiences and thought they were funny:monica, 40, knew she wasn't interested in a guy she met at a speed dating event by the end of the date.

  "he insisted twice on cracking my back after our goodbye hug," she says, noting she declined his offer for a back adjustment and a second date.

  sheryl, 32, was thrilled when a hunky jock asked her out to a dinner theater.

  not long ago i posted expressing my annoyance that my husband's parents--as the good jehovah's witness elders that they are, went up north for a month-long with with my husband's disfellowshipped ex-wife!

  they apparently were only there for a week and went back home!

  not quite that month long visit that i heard was planned.... gee?

  i've lived here for about 1 1/2 years and haven't seen a single jw.

  and couldn't hardly wait for my turn.

  Did Being a JW Make You a Bully VICTIM in SCHOOL?

  by Smoldering Wick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read this article in the montreal gazette that talked about a young witness kid being bullied in school.

  it made me think back to all the times i was treated differently in school for being a jehovah's witness.

  i grew up in a predominately mexican community and went to public school there from 1st-12th grade as a jw.

  by Confucious in

  2. experiences

  hey!

  ok, we all know of this uncanny word play about not saying, "you were lucky," and not saying "bless you" after someone sneezes.

  but this is a bizarre one i heard.

  Hi Lows for the week.

  by Lehaa in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok new idea, was thinking of sharting a hi low post at the end of every week.. the idea came from the move "the story of us" starring bruce willis and michelle pfeiffer.. for all who have not seen the movie, at the end of every day they sit at the dinner table with there kids and all have to tell the rest on the family the high (good thing that happened for the day) and their low ( bad or dissapointing thing that happened for the week).

  it can bee as silly or as serious as you want.. just and idea, will trial it for a few weeks and see how it goes.. .

  my high: it's now school holidays here, have my kids home for 2 weeks, no more early starts and fighting to get the kids into bed on time.

  IN LOVE & CONFUSED

  by unique in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  here is my dilemma - short and to the point, need advice.

  i met a man several months ago who is jw and we hit it off from the first night we met - (met in lounge) - and then spoke to him on a few occasions.

  he admitted to me the first night we went out that he was married, at first i wasn't sure if i should pursue this, then he just swept me off my feet.
