  Are you addicted to this website?

  by Podiatrist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean seriously, since im not a jw perhaps id have a different opinion about it all.

  but a colleague from work says she dont want to come here as she got addicted to it and couldnt get anything else done.

  she apparently knows of similar other cases.

  2. experiences

  the first time i can vividly recall feeling jealous was when i was 7.. my dad came home from visiting a client with gifts for me and my sisters.

  my younger sisters got a beaufiful handmade doll dressed in pink lace called betty and a handmade cotton cot.

  i got the 1982 yearbook of jws.

  Crumpet,

  I'm the same as you! I think you posted about this before to me, but anyway, I too always think my husband is staying late at work with some girl, etc. It really drives you crazy, I know.

  I am not so sure the lady was giving her clothes to send any message to YOU, does she even know you?

  But in your favor, he should have definetly reassured you, over and over again that things are okay, he is not cheating. I think it was totally rude and awful of him to tell you to stop talking after your class. How awful not to be able to express your concerns and fears. And so so rude of him to make a comment about your weight.

  One thing that did help my situation a bit is that I told my husband that it really pisses me off when I or he comes home and he doesn't even greet me with a hug and kiss. It makes me feel like I'm not the thing on his mind. So he agreed at my suggestion to have a mandatory "greeting" every morning and night. (A hug and kiss am and pm, and a hug and kiss when he comes home from work, not associated with sex.) I still have to remind him, "Hey, where's the meet and greet?" and then he smiles and hugs me, but it still helps me a bit. sometimes guys are totally stupid emotionally, and you have to lead them by the hand and tell them what to do.

  I know it's my own self-esteem too, and I need to work on that.

  Jojo,

  If you need extra help, the patch is supposed to be great. The chances of quitting for good are way high on the patch versus cold turkey. So if you can afford it, I would get it. Congratulations on 2 days!!!!!!!!!!

  What is your greatest fear?

  by Podiatrist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just wondering, my experience tells me that many jw live in constant state of watchfulness, bordering with paranoia.

  did any of that have an effect on you?

  like last week ive had a pleasure of browsing new childrens book great teacher or something (well it was new to me anyway) i was mightily surprised on the number of references to satan or devil.

  I still say "Jehovah" when I'm scared. Usually alone in a dark house and hear a noise, or watching a scary movie, and turn it off to a dark quiet house. "Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah" all the way to the light switch. But never I never heard to say it 3 times. Just to say his name to scare away all demons...

  Oh, yeah Chia, my hall too, you had to sit in the back if a brother was driving you home. Somehow that made it okay to not have a chaperone.

  And Richie Rich: Geez "nasty ass houses" now THAT brings back memories, and smelly memories too!
