That's all I ever knew about them and my ex NEVER talked to me about his beliefs. Of course, it wasn't until we had a kid that I learned a bit more. I asked him why he didn't do birthdays/christmas and all I got was a shrug, he wasn't interested in getting into it with me. More like he didn't really know why and couldn't explain it to me

All I can say is "WOW" to that. Awesome insight there! I've never stepped foot in a KH so it's nice to get a perspective on it. You have a wonderful wit about you and it was a great read!

Thanks for sharing that!

so many of you have touched my heart by reaching out to me in this sad and lost time i am going thru.

losing my sister , in this way is what i have been so afraid of for so long.

it is unreal to watch the past repeat itself and to feel helpless after all is said and done , although i know i did all i could.

Can a girl have short hair and be feminine? ( a tad bit fluffy)

by Sparkplug in

jw
friends

well, we all know it is possible, but when i have short hair, i never quite feel feminine.

upon attempting to grow my hair out, i really hit a bad patch of nasty hair..so the other day, i examined my lifestyle, and obligations and really thought on it.

.........so i wacked it all off.

Seeking Knowledge

I have to concur with everyone's opinion..you look great!!

I wish I could have short hair...sigh....but I just can't do it. I had hair down past my knees until I was about 12...then had it all cut off in a "Dorothy Hamill" wedge...it traumatized me...what can I say. I don't look good with short hair!

My Family or Thiers?

by Dondi in

i am new to this site and am seeking a little advice from some of your more seasoned veterans.

i met my girlfriend about 7 years ago, when we met we fell in love and 2 years later had a baby and we moved in together.

i brought with me 2 children from a previous marriage and she had one from a previous as well.

Dondi:

This is a good thread to read to start. I feel your pain, I really do...it's hard when the person you love and expected to grow old with suddenly changes directions on you without any regard to how you feel. I'm not a JW, but been there done that. It's not easy, but you still have her attention so with support from this board as well as the massive amounts of information you can get, you may have a chance. She left before so she had doubts. Perhaps she's feeling overwhelmed and they have what she thinks she needs to function. Either way, going to her "territory" to seek help won't give you a balanced anything unless you plan to study alongside her and join her.

Good luck, welcome to the board, and stick around.
