Well ... this certainly was: at first, disgusting and disappointing, then, even more disgusting and disappointing, then Hibie got real ... her real ugly acting so-called Xtian self, defd bailed and left hibie to feel the fire. I feel a kinship for dfed because of our common JW background and I understand what it is to be misled. But I don't understand why hibie comes here. I wish she would stick to the Xtian fundie sites instead of infringing on our enjoyment of freemdom from judgemental bs.

I Am Sick Of Going To Kid's B-Days !!
by Jeannine inthe thread started on "an invitation to a wedding" with all its talk on manners got me thinking...... is there any other childless person out there that is tired of being invited to the birthday parties of friend's children?
i am childless by choice.
i have a large family with many kids, visiting me, making a huge mess of my house, bugging me for money to go to the store, waiting for me to drop off their gifts every year, playing pranks on me (i'll get those little suckers back), walking around with my shoes on, peeing in my bed, etc.

I haven't read all the replies but I'm going to throw my .02 in: The reason that adults are invited to birthday parties is because if you only invite children then you may not get any gifts! That's been my experience post-witless.
When I was growing up in my non-dub household we only had a few b'day parties IN OUR LIFE! No way were you having a party every year - oh NO! So that's the first thing. Second: When I had my last party all my friends showed up without presents for me. According to my mother "I bet they won't be over here next year eating up all my d**n food and didn't even bring my baby a gift .

Welcome to the forum Joel and thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
I think one of the greatest tragedies of being a witless is not rearing your children properly. It sets them up for extreme difficulties in REAL life (remember being told to get a firm hold on the 'real life' - they haven't got a clue!). My eldest son, the one whom I attempted to indoctrinate (the GB refered to it as in-cul(t)-cate ... hmmm) until he was 14 and I fell away is having the hardest time adjusting to being a young adult. I wanted to push him out of the nest at 21 but I realize that he's not ready and it's partly my fault.
Anyway man, I'm glad you're here and free!!!!

addiction and it's effects
by colorado5591 in.
with the internet we have such easy and infinite access to pornography, that some find themselves or their partner "addicted" to it.
how does this impact our sexual, emotional, and romantic relationships and how can the non-addicted partner cope with any feelings of deception and betrayal?

ballis- For me a lot of it has to do with attitude. I had to be real honest with myself about what happened in my failed relationships - let me make this perfectly clear "I HAD TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT I HAD CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEMISE OF THE RELATIONSHIP and/or WHETHER I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE". I had to check my expectations, explore what premises I was using to measure the quality of the relationship (ie, does he measure up to what my friends/family think I deserve) and then decide what things were really important for me to be happy in a relationship. I opted for the simple things, friendship, mutual respect and understanding, emotional support and frequent and outstanding sex .
I'm very happy!

Thanks ballistic ... it didn't take long for me to realize I was better off without him, now he can reminisce about the 'real thing' (dams).I used to feel the same way billygoat but it was only one symptom of deep seated insecurity for me. I had to let all that sh*t go just so I could let a man breathe (insecurity was my issue, I'm not saying that's the reason you don't like it). My current bf could care less about porn, stip clubs or any of that biz and he's perfectly content having one good woman to shower with affection .

I had a bf who loved porn. We'd watch it together and he would point out what he liked about this female and that one ... it was all good. I even went to a gentlemen's club with him. Everything was fine until he got drunk one night and slept with his bm. It was all downhill after that but prior to, it made me feel really close to him because I felt comfortable and secure that we could have something like that out in the open (coming from a former closed-minded JW that's a huge step!). After the betrayal I thought maybe the porn contributed to the infidelity - but most likely it did not. He's just the type of person who likes to have a variety of women. He may claim one to be his 'main squeeze' but he'll always be on the lookout for a pinch hitter. Works for some people, but not for me.

It depends on how I feel about the job. I've left jobs that I didn't like for whatever reason and found something else. My current job is pretty cool but the new boss is a bit of a micro-manager and I'm not used to that. But what the hey - I'm only here for a paycheck, loving the job is gravy but mashed potatos are pretty good without it .

Role Models
by hibiscusfire inis/are there someone/ people you admire?
celebrities - i love celine dion - because she can sing anything.

Celebrities: I admire model Alek Wek - she comes across as very humble with a warm, loving spirit and gives back to her homeland. She seems like a real down to earth and grateful woman.
Family: My Mom for retiring gracefully and enjoying her life.
Friends: I admire anyone who is a good parent and model their 'attitude' towards rearing independant, well adjusted children to be productive members of society.
Spiritually ... I am my own role model. No one can feel love for God for me.
