  yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.

  mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.

  mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.

  Another piece of advice, since your mom is on the warpath--any personal belongings that mean a lot to you or are expensive to replace--you may want to store at a friend's house.

  My Wife Just Called Me...

  she found an envelope with my name and "personal & confidential" typed on it taped to the door of our apartment.

  i asked her to open it and read it, and evidently there is some evidence of apostacy that they want to review with me this saturday (4-21-06) at 7:30 pm.. the funny thing is that i have not been to a meeting since 1993, the last time i was at a circuit assembly or district convention was 1995!

  i know that i have been spotted going to my church (3 blocks from the king-dumb hell).

  Thanks for all your responses, it does give me some encouragement.

  (I had a very dysfunctional childhood, parents were not JWs, but parents were deaf, depressed, mother was mentally ill. My brother always says I'm the more normal one in the family-ha ha. Along with my siblings, I sort of helped take care of my parents and they were extremely negative people and always feeling sorry for themselves.)

  So I think I'll go back to counseling and read some more books, I just feel really frustrated, like how many times am I going to beat my head against a wall? I'm actually pretty intelligent even though I don't have a degree--I am taking classes here and there. Part of my frustration lies with knowing I've come so very far but also knowing I have a LOOOOOOONG way to go.

  Thanks again for your encouragement, I guess I just needed a pity party this morning.

  I feel like an emotional wreck right now. I am on my way to a THIRD divorce. I can't put up with my spouse for much longer, he's so dysfunctional. Why am I such a co-dependent person? I thought I had improved and gotten better because my first 2 husbands had secret drug dependencies but my third spouse has an addictive personality too but not drugs. He has lied to me so much and jacked up 3 computers because of his porn addiction--and I have teenagers in the house who use the computer. I'm not sure if I'm going to move out yet, but I know myself and know it's going to happen this summer--I just called all the utility companies and told them to take everything out of my name; I gave a list of all the phone, utility and cable companies and the phone numbers and told him he needs to call by May 1st; I'm selling the expensive car that's in my name so he can buy his own car in his own name.

  I feel like such a failure. I do have 3 great kids who are turning out awsome in spite of me and my issues. I just feel so helpless--I know I'll be ok on my own other than being dirt poor. But I am so utterly tired of starting over. Ever wish you could turn the clock back and make better decisions? I know I rushed into this marriage, I don't know what's wrong with me. I can handle being single, but I can't handle being in a relationship and not being TOGETHER, and I get lonely when I don't date. I don't know what to do anymore to feel happy and stay single.

  2. experiences

  i began studying with the witnesses in 02 and was baptized in 04 but within months of baptism i stopped attending meetings.

  my marriage was rocky at best before i studied (husband abusive) but after it just continued to get worse.

  i had a baby daughter when i started and had my son while going to meetings and out in service as unbaptized publisher.

  Welcome

  Kids bounce back easier than we adults do. Be glad that you and your daughter are out while she is so young. Be honest with her and tell her that you are a little confused about your beliefs right now--kids are a lot more intelligent than we give them credit for. I would be really careful about how much exposure you let her have in attending meetings though--you might try making special plans for you and her to spend time together and let her aunt or grandma know you are too busy.

  Do you still refer to God as Jehovah?

  by nomoreTRUTHplz in

  2. beliefs

  i am curious if anyone still calls their god jehovah.

  when i think of jehovah all i can think of is what they taught me.

  it was true at first i felt a much more personal and stronger relationship with god when giving him a name, however certain things they taught forced me to see him as a cold and unloving god.

  I don't use the name Jehovah because I don't want to be tied to JWs in any way shape or form. I don't pray very often but when I do, I use God.
