actually, in my 14 years as a dub, it only came up with one person in our cong.
who got pregnant out of wedlock (and used drugs during pregnancy).
she was df'd but still came to most meetings.
I never once, shunned anyone. I never agreed with that concept of shunning. I always thought it cruel and inhumane. I think it's a disgusting habit, used for fear and controlling the masses.
I know what it's like to be shunned, and it's not nice. It makes you feel like the lowest of pond scum, and that is NOT a way to treat people.
i dont post on here that often but look everyday.. i used to be an elder and left the witnesses 5 years ago.
my wife left 6 years ago.. in my opinion my wife and i have had the best 5 years of our lives because we have been married 28 years.. after 28 years of marriage she sent me a text you need to go home there is a letter on our bed.
in the letter she clearly states she has left me because she does not love me in the real way.
I'm sorry to hear this, Littlemike. Please don't make any rash decisions right now. Don't go back to the KH either. That, my friend, would be a mistake, and you would not be any happier.
You've had a lot of excellent advice here, from people who, though you really don't know, REALLY DO CARE. Take your time. Everything works out, for the better, in the end.

i recall a ms brother about 62 years old dating and marrying a sister about 30 years younger.
i respect their choice and if they are in love, well good for them.
but i don't think it's to the best interest of the younger one...... do jw's accept bigger age differences in marriage than other religions?.
Maybe because, the older guys are a bit more settled....you know...mature...and so are their RRSP's..... j/k
OR....the younger women just like being with an older man......what's wrong with that? To each their own.... unless of course, the guy is in his 90's, and the woman is in her 20's....YUKKIES!!!!!! Then that's just plain gross.
.....Delilah....who married a man 3 years younger
Whitedove............is that REALLY your name, or did you lie about that too???? LMAO
just wanting to find out some of you all's hobbies.. my favorite is video gaming.
i love it and i love visiting video gaming stores.
.
Hortensia.....I knit sweaters, and baby outfits....I have made many baby blankets too...slippers, hats and mittens. I think I've made enough mitts to outfit the entire school....they always ended up in the lost and found box!!!
dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
The temp is in the mid-100s now.
Oh boy....I awoke to some light rain...finally!!! It's been raining on and off all day, with thunderstorms looming...weeeeee...I love thunderstorms!!
I went to work thismorning, not before telling son #2 to put his new running shoes away, so the pup wouldn't make breakfast out of them. When I returned home at noon, there was one shoe, sitting upon the kitchen table....the foam had been chewed out of the heel ....I asked where the other shoe was. My son said, "uh, it was here". I told him to go look for it...when he brought it back, there was nothing left of it...the shoelace was gone, eaten, I'm sure!!! The tongue of the shoe was almost gone as well. $120.00 pair of shoes.................gone, chewed to smithereens.
Then, the pup proceeded to poop in the dining room......I was not a happy camper!!!!! Anyone looking for a boxer????
Tomorrow's another day...a better one I'm sure.
Welcome, Quietlyleaving.....nice to have you here. Looking forward to more posts.
