  i use the emoticons, even put in the space, but nothing comes out except the black letters, not the coloured emotions, i must be doing something wrong.

  Does God still exist for you?

  i'm quite new to this forum (only a handful of posts).

  but from what i've read up to now, it seems apparent that some of you have abandoned your belief in a god.

  is this because of trauma brought about by the jw religion?

  I no longer believe in organized religion, but God to me is within my heart. I will most likely never belong to any organized religion, because of the JW Org.

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  1. social
  2. family

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  I am very happily married (31) years this past September. Mind you we have had some real tuff stuff to deal with, mostly with children. But for the most part we seem to deal with it, we laugh togeather, cry togeather, are happy togeather, know when we get upset, we laugh at each other. Sometimes the glass of wine you speak of could have been used to get us through the day. You have to look on the positive things, which sometimes is not easy to do. I believe committment to each other has something to do with sticking togeather. We know each other so well, we know sometimes what the other is thinking. We even sometimes say the same thing togeather at the same time, scarry! I sometimes know what my man is going to do, before he even does it, then it is like WOW! My man was never a JW, I was, he never gave me any trouble over this, even gave up alot for me, and I am so grateful to have him, he is a real sweetie. When I left the org. I felt guilty for all he had missed in his life because of me, but he took it all with a grain of salt, he still sends me mushy cards and flowers. I raise a glass of wine to my "Hubby."

  Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope all the best for your long-time friend, I know he has a long road ahead of him, but maybe in time things will improve for him in his life. We all know what he has to look forward to if he should leave the org. but you can let him know he is thought of at this time.
