i don't know how many read my prior post "problems with jw girlfriend and her family", but i feel the need to continue the story as it is very current and is taking quite a toll on both of us.
she and i also work together at a grocery store, so even if she does/did decide to break things off (because of her parents and the religion) we would still see each other (i'll get to this in a minute).
we both know that we still love each other and that we deserve to be together, but can this religion be stronger than true love?????
You've gotten some good advise here SCP, it's a hard road to travel. You should NEVER compromise yourself for someone else. If you are willing to study to show her that you are trying, why isn't she willing to try your side of the fence?? There is no gray area with the JW's it's black or white. She is in fear of losing family & friends, not you. Tough road. I wish you well, keep reading here and it will help you. I'm not a JW but I do have the experience of having loved one. Good luck.

it's been so long since i've been to a movie that didn't involve big green ogres or a family of superhero's.
my friend & i are going tonite and we have narrowed it down to two movies:.
national treasure.
That's (1) for Nick...
I don't think Hotel Rwanda is playing in my part of the world at the moment. I would like to see it however. I've heard Sideways is pretty funny. I've always like Thomas Haden Church... We'll put that on the list!
Thanks!!

i am absolutely hopping mad angry!!!!.
to those of you who know me, you are aware that i have been fading for over a year now.
i have a daughter who is 5 and a son who is 2 y. in brief iast year i separated from my husband, left the organisation, met someone else and am now expecting with my new partner.. well i have had the usual ups and downs with my jw family.
Your daughter will not understand now but as she gets older she will .
That's what I'm hoping for as well, that my son will understand why his father & his family treat me the way they do. Never been a JW but I'm certainly treated as someone who has horns Just hold you head high & hang in there!

i'll make this short, but i've been looking for answers and need actual human communication- not just a book or website.. up until 12/26/04, my "girlfriend" and i had been sneaking around to see each other.
we became professionals.
she would always say "i shouldn't be doing this" and such, but eventually that mindset wore away and our love took over.
If she should choose to leave them for you, you will be the bad guy from here on out. Her old friends from the religion will hate you, her parents will hate you and in time she may come to resent that you are the reason she lost her family.
True...take it from me...it's not easy dealing with it, and sometimes it's just not worth it.
you know what i mean ... when they do something **so** nice that you nearly start to blub !!.
the other day angharad had gone out and i was joking with the kids that with mum gone, they could have a pint of beer with me if they wanted (to see what they would say).. liam (7) told me in an earnest voice "dad, i don't think i'm old enough to drink beer yet.
i think i have to be 16" (16 = grown up to him for everything ... he's already sussing out how old he needs to be to drive).. well, i told him how i was proud he was so sensible and wasn't afraid to stand up and say "no" and that i was really looking forward to when he was old enough to take me out and buy me a pint of beer (ok, father-son moment ... i was getting emotional already).
Yesterday was my birthday, and because he has such a hard time going to my ex on his visitation days, I decided not to enforce my "two hour visit on the other parents birthday" portion of our custody agreement (yes, my ex, a JW, insisted on having our son not only for 2 hours on our son's birthday but also for 2 hours on his birthday...I can't explain the madness). Anyway, when I called my ex to explain this to him and then asked to speak to our son. He got on the phone, I asked him if he was ok (having thrown the usual fit going with dad) and he said "yes...mommy will you come get me?" and there was my lump. I told him I "couldn't tonite, but I will come get you on Thursday and we'll go out to dinner for mommy's birthday" he cheered right up & said "no mommy, I want to make pasgetti"
It's Pasgetti nite tonite!!!
the hospital chaplain just called.
my baby's body has been returned to the hospital following post-mortem examination at a specialist children's hospital.
so, the funeral can go ahead soon.. we have opted for a cremation.

So sorry for your loss during this difficult time. When my niece died (6 mo old) my brother and his wife opted to take her ashes to one of our mountains via helicopter to spread them. We all stood at the look out while they went up there. Afterwards, we had a wake, which included pictures of her and lots of support. No services, per se, just family & friends getting together to help out. It was a beautiful day and every morning, as I drive by the mountain, I tell her good morning. It's nice to have a special place.

i like to listen to alot of music.
i am mostly a hard rocker, godsmack, soil, marilyn manson.
i also like alot of rap, snoop, g-unit, kanye west, xzibit.
I listen to it all, grew up listening to classical (mom) to hard country (dad) as well as Rod Stewart, Queen, and all the stuff on the radio now. My daughter gets a kick out of me liking the same stuff she listens to! Except Rap...just can't get into that. My father, however, listens to NWA, Snoop, etc as loud as he can on his stereo while driving. Yes, that bass thumping as you drive by could be my father. He's the coolest Grandpa around! (and still has Charley Pride tapes as well)
