its my mothers birthday.. she belongs to this senior dance club.
once a week about 85-100 get together with live music at a local dance hall and enjoy.. i am taking her out for lunch with family members and her friends.
at the dance hall i ordered a cake and coffee bar serves 100.. its a white cake with fresh strawberries and cream (her fav).
Absolutely NO GUILT!!!!! You enjoy your mom's day with her, you still have her with you, and she will LOVE it. There is no guilt in seeing your mom with a big huge smile, and knowing that YOU put it there for her.
When I left the "truth", I left ALL the guilt that goes with it, behind. Let the guilt go, you will be much happier.And have fun, eh?????
where did all the witnesses over the decades get the idea that armageddon was right around the corner?
the society certainly never put anything like that down in print:
*** w56 10/15 p. 614 when will gods kingdom come?
just around the corner...
I well remember this phrase. Every other sentence had this in it. Bunch of geeks!!!
The past few years, it's been," We are deep into the end of this system of things".... They are catch phrases, to lure the unsuspecting ones...
.................cough, gag...............
the writing department should really win an oscar for best screenplay in a comedy/drama series craptower, the article is entitled is the bible too restrictive?
in actuality, every witness knows that this is really asking "is the wts too restrictive?
on page 9 it says in part:
Parents, Find Pleasure in Your Children *** By careful preparation prior to each weekend’s activities, we knew what we would say.
I found more pleasure in my children, watching them play sports, NOT preparing them to go door-to-door. How do you find pleasure in your children by dragging them, kicking and screaming to doors, to speak to strangers????
The WTBTS needs to understand the family unit.....they have no clue!! Sheesh!!
i worked all weekend, including today !
labor day bullcrap.
everyone is working but the government.
Um.............not me either..............
my older son, karl, is leaving home.
it could be this coming sunday but, if not, definitely sometime during next week.. karl has been a wonderful son and friend.
leaving watchtower was made so much easier because of him - and his decision to exit undoubtedly prompted my wife, claire, to take a look at the damning evidence herself!
Kids grow up sooooo fast - but the main thing is Karl is his own man. He's FREE!!
Yes they do grow up MUCH TOO FAST.....Congratulations, Ian. I'm so very happy for you and your children as well. Getting a good education is NECESSARY these days, and it's wonderful to be able to get one, without the Borg breathing down one's neck.
When my daughter left for university, I was very happy, but yet sad, too. She was getting to do something I was not even given the option of doing, and I was extremely proud of her.( still am!!) She eventually moved back home, and has recently moved out again, and THAT was hard . I really cried this time.
Best of luck to both of your children, they will have a blast.....
i need some serious advice.
i just found out my wife has been emailing some guy she met at her work.
she gave him her cell # and said she wanted to get together and connect.
TOWANDA!
Snicker,....."Face it girls, I'm older, and have more insurance".....I love that movie...and yes, I understand where you are coming from Anewme...that guy does need an a$$-whoopin for messing with a married woman, but she needs a comuppence too, she knows she's married.
i need some serious advice.

I guess it depends on the situation then Anewme. If his wife is suffering from neglect, and that is why she is looking elsewhere, then your approach is probably the correct one.
If his wife is certain of his undying love, then it is likely she is looking around because she doesn't respect him. Given that she is in her 20's and hasn't dated alot, she is probably naive enough to be impressed and turned on by some "bad-boy".
This is what I was going to say, in so many words. Although I'm not so sure I'd say she was being naive...just because she was married young, and didn't date a lot beforehand. It's still no excuse to behave like that. Sometimes we may feel it's fun to flirt with another guy/girl, and we may like to have our egos stroked by someone other than our mates.... HOWEVER, asking for someone's cell #, or to get together with someone, or "hook up" with someone, goes way beyond having the ego stroked, or just having innocent fun. Especially if the person is keeping it secret from the other mate.
Both parties are responsible for the healthy marital household, and must not forget to show love and affection, to each other, no matter how young they were when they married. They were old enough to understand the marriage vows they undertook at the time of their wedding. Sometimes we get into a slump, we know we love each other, but times get busy, and we forget to say it, or give each other that needed hug.
My mom always said, " Marriage isn't easy...it takes a lot of elbow grease and hard work, to make it work." Sadly, some don't work out.

my first cars were all "manual" and they were small cars, cheap on gas.. then later on in life, i spoiled myself and bought automatic cars.. last week, i tried a manual yaris, and wasn't that comfortable with the manual transmission.
maybe it's the fact that i didn't drive a manual car in 6 years.. just wondering if anyone here after driving automatic transmission cars since many years, if you would come back to manual..
I learned to drive with a stick shift. I love it....if you learn to drive that, you can drive anything!!!!
i need some serious advice.
i just found out my wife has been emailing some guy she met at her work.

She was really upset with me 8 mo's ago when i told her I didn't believe the "truth" anymore.
Wait a minute here.................she's still a practising dub? And she's pulling these stunts? She knows it's a "no-no".....hmmm....SIT HER DOWN NOW......and talk to her about her actions. She can't use this as an excuse,( you not believing it's the truth") to get away with acting like this. That's just bull.
