  Lost_light.................Wow! Talk about being between a rock and a hard place. I think you should confront her with what you found, in a kind way. Don't bring out the big guns just yet.
  

  
  
  Obviously there is something going on,( or not going on) in your marriage,or with your wife, that needs to be addressed. TALK to your wife, and maybe get some expert advice, together.
  

  
  
  Wingcommander, it sounds like you have been hurt awfully bad, by a woman, and if you have, I'm terribly sorry. Nobody deserves to be hurt by a cheating spouse.However, I don't think Lost_light needs to assume his marriage is over, and find himself a lawyer just yet. I think they definitely need to sit down, and talk rationally, and calmly, about what she is doing.
  

  
  
  Good luck, and all the best to you, Lost_light. Hugs.

  Hi Gumby....good question....and good information you got there. I had no idea of the info from the handbook. When I was young, about 19 or 20, I was DF'd, and had nowhere to go, after being kicked out of my friend's apartment. She was daughter of the PO in a big city near here, and well, you know....................SOoooo, I called home, to ask if I could come back home. My parents took me in, thank goodness, who knows what would have happened to me, and truthfully, my parents knew that also. No-one spoke to me, other than a good friend of mine, but only when nobody was looking....It sure made me feel like a low-life, good-for-nothing,fool. Nobody should ever be made to feel like that.

  As Juni mentioned, it definitely depends on who you are in the congregation, whether one can "get away" with associating with their Df'd loved ones. I've seen ones who were shunned by EVERYONE,to the point of being rude, including their families, then there were those who were treated no differently by their families and even others.( It was like a big family get-together for them,hand-shaking, back-slapping," hi- how- are-you?", every meeting.) It really does depend on the congregation.

  So much for the society's claim of being united in their worship and practices, worldwide....

  I agree with KW13, this DFing thing does hurt a lot of people....it's not right, and I think it's bullshite. There, I've said more than I probably needed to.

  Do you believe Jesus was married?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is related to my question in "entertainment" regarding "the da vinci code".

  in the book and the movie, it is claimed that jesus was actually married to mary magdelene, and that they had a child, descendants of whom survive even at the present time.

  so, my question is: do you think any of this is true, could possibly be true, or is just plain wrong?

  No to soaps.

  during the time leading up to my baptism and even more so afterwards, my study conductor and her friend were always telling me how i shouldn't be watching the soaps.

  (i had mentioned to them at some point how i enjoy watching emmerdale and coronation street).

  they described them as being unwholesome and encouraging of immoral ways.

  Ah Grace................you are too cute!! I remember not being able to watch any soaps, as a teen, but when I moved in with an elder and his family for a bit, his teens were watching every soap on the network, with their mom's approval. I got hooked on Y&R also....although have not watched it all summer. My daughter keeps me informed on what's happening.

  I remember hearing about the taboos of the series "Friends", and how we weren't supposed to watch that either,but the ones who were watching? The elders wives and kids.....that's when I decided they could kiss my royal arse and mind their own business!!!

  I used to love Coronation Street too, but haven't watched it in years, so I wouldn't know who was who anymore.

  I don't think he's the first idiot, to desire this kind of sick, perverted publicity....he's certainly a whack-job, as someone else stated!! I hope he gets what he deserves, if found guilty of child porn and whatever other devious, dirty rotten deeds he has gotten away with over the years.

  My ex kept a big bushy moustache. He looked nice in it, a lot like Tom Selak. But kissing him was like kissing a bowl of shredded wheat.

  LOL Flying High......shredded wheat eh??

  I don't like beards, unless they are well trimmed, like a fine line outlining the jaw....oh, and a real small goatee....they are cute. The moustache has to be kept trimmed too, I don't like kissing what my man has had for breakfast, later that night.

  The end times and big announcements

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for anyone of us familiar with this religion.....we were taught no one knows the day or the hour.

  now should that be a 7000 year day, 1000 year day or 24 hour day, and any predictions concerning this or assuming knowledge of any sort would be exposing them selves as false prophets.. the wbts likely to whip up a frenzy of one sort or another due to clever rhetoric is typical, but all of us "out" know better.

  it usually happens in the fall, ......just like this year.. no one here needs to hold their breath.

  Sounds to me, like they're doing it again, only WITHOUT saying it in so many words!!??! What a croc!!!!

  How Accurate is Your Bull$h!t Detector?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think everyone has a bs detector, but not everyone utilizes theirs, or ignores its warnings.. i find that mine seems very sensitive and unless i "feel" sincerity from the person i am sizing up, my bs detector has various levels of "alert" mode.. in "yellow alert" mode, i tend to be very guarded with personal information until the individual's behaviour identifies whether i should maintain that status quo or not.

  this seems to be my default setting, i think, because i tend to use it with all new people i encounter.. in "orange alert" mode, there's something about the person that just is not meshing with me.

  they may be trying to cross a boundary that i do not want them to cross, like bestowing a nickname on me without asking me if i'm ok with it first.

  My Detector works very good....Just open your mouth.....

  LMAO xjwms.....too funny. I can tell when something smells fishy. My bullshite detector is usually on high, especially when meeting new people for the first time. I can read in it posts too, as a rule. There's just something about certain people,in their voice, their stories, the way they write things,body language, and you know you need a shovel handy.
