did it make your life easier?
did you later regret it?
did you wish you had done it sooner?
Hi Captain,
I filed bankruptcy three years ago. It has made my life easier. Filing bankruptcy will not stop credit card offers from coming to you. Albeit their APR's and finance charges are very high. I got an offer from a credit card company less than one year after I filed bankruptcy. Credit cards were my downfall, too. The downside is of course, that it stays on your credit report for seven years. At least here in the United States.
well as most of you know, amanda and i separated early last month.
it has been for the better, as amanda and i have had a troubled marriage from day one.
i havent heard from her in a week, she is living with her mom and stepdad in maynardville tennessee, just northeast of knoxville.
Good to hear from you, Dave. Keep in touch with us here. I'm always interested in what's going on with the posters inside and outside of the forum.
losing jehovah was like losing a girlfriend that you loved.
you barely had time to flinch when you found out that she had been sleeping with all your friends and stealing your records to pawn off.
that you had just been another sucker on the vine.. when jehovah dumps you, you start looking at yourself longer and harder, and wondering what it was about him that you found in yourself, until all you see there in the reflection is just yourself, dancing with an imaginary hand and waistline.. when jehovah was gone, and the war was over, i realized that all the things that had made me "good", and "moral", and "hate what was bad", didn't mean anything to me anymore.
That was indeed poignant, Tetra.
i am relaxing in my lay-z-boy recliner, online with a laptop.
our dog , sparky, is lying right next to me.
he is a 12lb silky terrier- he looks like an overgrown yorkie .
I have a german shepherd named Jipsee and a cat named Jazzie. Love them both.
i never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.
when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.
that is not the case this time.
You've been such a part of this forum. Gonna miss you, Dave.
here's a pic with the sign removed... have at it!
let's do this right!

Thanks everyone. The creative minds here gave me my laughs for the day. Severus--your's is especially hilarious!
i'm curious, when you made your decision to leave the org.
did you do it before or after looking at this kind of internet sites?.
in my case i made my decision without ever looking any of this websites.
I left after finding this website.

today i met a brother who doesn't go to meetings since over 5 years.
we didn't talk more than 5 minutes, but he said that he doesn't go anymore, nor does his wife, nor does his father in law liviing below his apartment.. he also told me that the elder's daughter across the street got divorced because her husband committed adultery.. the things you get to know just speaking to 1 witness.. he also told me that when he worked in the cleaning business with the brothers, that they didn't pay him the money he deserved.
basically he said that he got screwed..
I haven't had the pleasure yet. Looking forward to it, though. The only Witnesses I know who no longer attend meetings anymore are those on this forum. I look forward to logging on every day.
as shown by the text below, the 7-headed wild beast has a name.. 16 and it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.
18 here is where wisdom comes in: let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a mans number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
of course the beast's "number" is "666" -- but that's not it's "name".
I don't want to contribute to a polemic; however, I am curious what it is you mean that the WTS will get a new face. How will this be? And, why is not the eighth king yet arrived? Is it not the scarlet colored wild beast?
If the WTS falls, I for one, will be happy to see the rank and file members have the choice of mental freedom.
