  Thank you all, I love you!!!

  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.

  hello to all i am new here, well as a member anyway, i have been browsing the posts now and then for a good 4 years!

  thought id thank you all for your help since i left, i think that there are so many of us that you have all helped and never hear from.. all of my family are still in the org and i could not have gotten through the initial couple of years of leaving without the support that i have found here, even if it did not involve direct communication with you all.. thank you!

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

  by Sparkplug in

  1. jw
  2. 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.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  For those with bf or gf who are JW's: How the JW view non JW's

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this thread is a quick primer for those who are fairly unfamiliar with the jw, but have found that they are dating someone who is or used to be a jw.

  well just to give you a little background on how jw's view the rest of the non-jw world: they basically see you as a bug.

  you are worldly and certain to bring their loved one death at the hands of god at armageddon.

  But if you (or they) get pregnant, expect all their years of phobias and indoctrination to come screaming back now that they have a precious child to save from armageddon! This is actually one of the most common causes for the "unbelieving mate" (aka a person married to a JW) situation. If you do get pregnant, you will spend years here trying to get ideas how to open their mind.

  Every once in a while there is a post that screams at me from my computer. This SO applies to me!! Hindsight being what it is I wish I would have looked into all of this 6 years ago then maybe things would have been different. The problems now is that my JW is no longer my problem so I can't/won't have the opportunity to talk to him about these things. All I can do now is educate myself as much as I can for the sake of my son. Try as he might, my ex and his beliefs will not be all my son knows...and at least he'll have another viewpoint on the whole thing.

  Wow...thanks CYP

  today i had the dreadful task of picking up a frozen dead kitty from the end of our driveway.

  lest anyone think that this was our kitty (of which we have had one long ago and is now living in that great kitty litter box in the sky), twas not.

  it looked quite well fed and its yellow tabby fur was in good condition.

  So long as it's done responsibly, I'm all for it, my cat (s) go out only when I'm home and I keep an eye on them. I don't let them out all nite or all day & certainly not to reproduce all over the neighborhood & shrug it off. But I do let them go out & have "fun"....and usually only in the summer. I think it's pretty cruel to leave them out to fend for themselves and produce more kitties to do the same thing!

  Sad story...I hate it when people let their animals run free like that....I only hope the cat got out by mistake...sad

  I have neighbors across the street from me, they had 2 beautiful black & white kitties...then they had 5 beautiful black & white kitties, and I believe 3 or 4 more after that. (this past year) They let their animals run free...they are all over the neighborhood. Since I live in a cold state (Alaska) I worry about those kitties and haven't seen them since winter started. They even told me their names at one point, I said "why don't you keep them inside you know they are reproducing don't you?" and they just shrug & say "cats like to be outside". Drives me!!

  One of the kitties adopted itself into my home and has been there since the weather turned cold. She's got my other cat and my 2 kids to keep her company and is going in tomorrow to get her shots & be "fixed". Everytime I see those neighbors I just want to pop them in the back of the head.

  And send them the bill....

  I do the same thing, but probably for very different reasons. I can't keep my friggen cats out of my tree. Charlie Brown's tree looks better than mine does right now, all the branches are bent down and all the ornaments are under the tree.

  So I'm constantly "putting the tree up" You are not alone! Enjoy!
