My vote is for men to please put seat down when they have a tinkle. I's not nice when a woman wakes up in the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake - goes to sit down and hits cold water. I'ts happened to me so hubby now kindly puts it down for me.

Toilet Seat Up Or Down??????
by ladonna inwe have no problems in our relationship about the toilet seat.
but others seem to make a big deal as to whether the guy should leave it down for us ladies.. what's your take on this?
take into account ladies that if a man puts it down, and we leave it down, he has to always be putting it up.

Dear Hmmmmm
Your poor mom sounds like she definately has depression, so obviously not all JW are the happiest people in the world. First you may try finding her a really good doctor. Talking about ones feelings and getting them out in the open is a start, there must be something that is making her feel depressed. But she needs a doctor who will really listen to her. Not all are good listeners. Being in the org. can be very strenuous on anyone. I Hope she gets the help she needs, cause it is never fun to go through life depressed all the time. The best to you both. -

Listen to orangefatcat she has a good point in her posts, when i left org. i was really depressed, they gave me prozac (wrong med for me)
i wanted to kill someone, dr. took me off that right away when i told him how i felt. Medicines affect people in many different ways. I talked to my doctor many, many times, and eventually he made me realize i was a good person, contrare to how i felt. It took me 2 yrs of talking to him regularly to make me feel good about me again. The medicine orangefatcat talks about also worked on me. When you take it you don't feel wiped-out, knocked-off your feet so to speak.You just feel better. Hope you find peace and help soon to get you through this troubling time. I'll be thinking of you. -

why so much?
by getingout inangry towards jehovah.. i understand the angry towards the jehovah's witnesses.
i carry hard feelings towards them and their teachings but, i have been seeing many negative attitudes against jehoavh himself.
what bad or wrong has jehovah commited?

I'ts not Jehovah that upsets, or angers me, it's the cruel and unloving attitude of some people in the org., that hurt others and make them feel so bad you want to leave. "God Is Good."

I'v got to tell something this!
by voltaire ini've posted several times about how i'm fed up with the witnesses but my wife won't budge.
she's become a bit more tolerant lately, but mostly we get along better when we don't talk about anything substantive.
i've been working up the nerve to tell the elders why i don't go out anymore.

no one person can decide for you what is best, since there is no children involved, it sounds like a change is good for you, why live in a situation where you are miserable, get while you can and live your life to the fullest, life is to short. It already sounds like you and your wife live seperate lives, what do you have then, no communication. You will feel guilty of course, but the org. is brain-washing, and controlling, do you want to live the rest of your life like that, and one day look back and regret staying for the sake of your wife, who carries on with her own life, and you with yours, sounds like you are thinking of making a change. The one thing you do have right now is you do know other friends outside the org. I's really up to you though.

I'm sure that action would surely turn some heads, and cause abit of gossip, but gossip in some cong. is the going thing, even now, I'd never have the guts to but to each his own.
