paragraph 7.
Learning to develop common interests I thought this was done before the marriage started?
young witnesses have not time for this sort of thing before they get married.
most of them they are so desperate for sex that they will marry anyone with a heartbeat.
you can see it in their eyes at assemblies when they are on the hunt.
some will work on the marriage later, once the novelty of sex has worn off. that's if they are good boys and girls and heed the counsel/contingency plan in wt.

fun? dismembered
i have pots in the sink and unmade beds upstairs.
i fear i am an addict!
good job i'm "out". what would bros and sis's think when they came round to cadge a cuppa on the ministry ( not counting it as time of course, unless one of my kids was in the room and jehovah/jesus was mentioned in passing) and found me with no clean cups.

i feel like screaming right about now...........the dickhead who takes our bookstudy group just came over and said "...i wonder how many brothers and sisters died in the tsunami disater.
" while that's a natural concern, his next comment blew me away "....it figures that the media hasn't bothered mentioning jehovah's witnesses helping out in this disaster!
" i looked at him stunned for a minute and said "and why on earth would they mention jehovah's witnesses?
You know what would have been funny. If they said "well at least all those people will be ressurected in the new order."
my gran's stance would have been even harder. every time anybody outside the truth died she would say,
"well. it's the only way they're ever gonna get through armageddon"
like they should be grateful. sheesh!

has anyone been in the position of losing scriptural grounds for divorce?.
what forgives a guilty mate?
a. kissing.
when you are at your lowest ebb. when you need love and affection. when the person that you still probably love, deep down, is offering a familiar, warm pair of arms to hold you.
when you secumb to a natural urge in a moment of emotional weakness.
then you have to stay with the cheating, beating bastard for the rest of your life and only have yourself to blame.
excellent way to ruin another life governing dudes

adultery (sexual relations with a married man); after all i was a prude as an active jw.
i never thought i would do such a thing.
lolbut really - it still kind of gives me shivers saying stuff contra-borganisation
real sins - i was pretty sure i might dabble in most of them 'cept the illegal ones like killing and stuff.

speaking as someone who believed it all right up until about a year after i was df'd i just cannot understand the reasoning of people who don't go out on field service, don't go to meetings, don't participate or believe and still stay in the organisation.. i know that it is hard to leave, it's made to be hard, but some of the postings on this site make me think that it must be harder still living a lie and keeping up the pretense.. if you don't believe, why would you want to conform to all the petty rules and subject yourself to men that you don't believe have any authority.. i really do hope that as soon as possible you can all take a deep breath and finally be true to yourself.. zaphod
hey, i'm just a straight talking country girl.
i will try to temper my rough exterior. my heart's in the right place, honest.

i have had my heart ripped out by remaining "out"
the people that i love most in the world are still "in"
and, believe me, i know how hard it is to stay away.
i am not judging others, just trying to understand how they can deny something so fundemental to their own health and well being. and maybe just encouraging them to think about it.
