My ex divorced me because I refused to follow the lie any longer. He's still in and has never apologized. Why would he? He still believes that crap I guess.

They've been doing this for YEARS prior to the internet down in the south. You can say anything and I mean ANYTHING bad about anyone as long as you finish by saying "bless her/his heart."
Well she's just as dumb as a bag a hair, bless her heart.

Sometime around 1995 when I learned that the generation that saw the events of 1914 was safe! That's when I realized it was all a sham and I'd been hoodwinked, bamboozled and led astray.Boy was I pissed !

OK, fess up. . . has anyone tried internet dating?
by carefully faded ini recently signed up on a couple of internet dating sites.
i've been talking with one guy for about a week now and he's asked to meet for coffee.
i'm a little nervous and wanted to hear how many others have tried this.

Yes, I tried it. The good side: you meet a lot of men. Bad side: a lot of men are jerks! Lots of married men date on-line so keep your intuition tight - if it walks like a dog, talks like a dog and can't give you it's home phone number, IT'S A DOG (of course there are some exceptions to the home phone thing but you get my point).
Just be yourself, speak your mind and let the chips fall where they may.
Go into it expecting nothing and you won't be dissapointed, AND, you may actually meet someone nice! I went to a friends wedding in Jamaica a couple of years ago. They had their first child last year. They met on the internet, were engaged witin two months and married in 8. All's well!
Good luck (bwwwaaaaaaaaaa)

When I first started posting I just needed to vent and share my story. Knowing that you're not alone in your thoughts and struggles is very comforting. Now I try to post when I have something to say that hasn't been said in a thread already, or to offer support and encouragement (in very few words). But when I'm really in the mood to participate in a thread, I usually relate whatever it is to myself and try to convey my feelings through a personal experience. Then ... I sit back and wonder if I'm revealing too much about myself . Still, I like the feedback on this forum. It's the only one I post to even though I know there are others (I spend enough time here (ok, really, I spend too much time here) already).
I've found myself being harsh at times when I disagree but I've learned from that. I am always trying to improve my communication and social skills. I'm learning to disagree without being disagreeable, and not to get my undies in bunch over other peoples opionions.

Conditional Love/Heart Reading
by Garnet ini had a conversation the other day with a relative - we started talking about death and so on, so forth.
i havent been attending for almost 3 years now and really havent been harrassed too much - just ignored.. i stopped attending meetings for a number of reasons, a few were belief differences which i knew would become trouble, but the main reason why i couldnt attend anymore is i felt fake.
but i felt that people only wanted to associate with me because we shared one thing and one thing only....a belief.

I feel your pain Garnet. It is truly sad that a group of people have been so desensitized to the feelings of others that they would pronounce someone eternally dead to their very face! JW's are taught NOT to feel for those who do not believe as they do. Even at the doors, they only feign sympathy in order to coerce the householder into the KH. If they fail to do that then they could give a rat’s fat arse what happens to them tomorrow. In fact, they look forward to the day when they are vindicated and we are all destroyed (ain't gonna happen).
I remember when I first started studying, a girl I grew up with asked me "well what if the end comes and you find out the Witnesses are wrong, how will you feel then?" I couldn’t answer her. I couldn’t even think about that and pushed the thought out of my mind. All I could think about was the 'one true faith', the 'pure religion' where everybody loves one another. All the - JW's don't lie, cheat, steal or kill. And no JW husband would ever beat his wife (yeah, right!), or molest children the way Catholic priests have, etc. etc. etc. Well, JW's have been lied to and denied information for so long that the only way they will see the truth is if they want to. But the GB is helping that along by continually beating the R&F down with endless rules and admonitions - vacillating back and forth over how to treat disfellowshipped relatives, college education and whatever else is in the botchtower these days. No wonder they are getting tired.
I got tired of it too. So I left.
I'm glad you're here Garnet. I know that her comment hurt you but I say consider the source. She really has no idea what she is doing. She's only imitating her loving mother.

Revelation of self
by Sparkplug ini noticed via a friend with no reserve that i have come across harshly to some women.
not as harsh as it would be noticeable to someone on an internet board who does not know me could notice, but....to those who know me outside of the board, i have spoken as sharply as i can get at times.
i want to take this post to apologize.

No, you haven't been 'sh*tty to me either sparkplug. I take things here with a little more salt than used to. I just don't have the energy to get all emotional over a thread the way I did at first (with the exception of the 'you know what' thread).
We are all a work in progress. I've been dealing with a lady I serve with on a business module. She's one strongheaded sista, working in the background gathering support behind my back, not calling me to discuss MY IDEA, politicing and making promises without consulting the rest of the team ... etc.
Thing is, I agreed to do this forum to help someone she's concerned about. But now, it's turned into the "CHERYL SHOW". I knew what type of personality I was dealing with, I see some of my 'former' self in her. I also see a dominant personality type which I already know is a challenge for me. That's the main reason I stuck it out for almost a year, when I really wanted to bolt after the first couple of meetings - I know I can learn something from this woman, If nothing more than how to be more influential, tactful and a better negotiator myself.
Yea sparkplug - women have issues but we know that only WE can understand one another the way we do .
