Do JWs Actually Have Less of a Divorce Rate Than Other Religions???

i think so.

very few couples got divorced, even after they were caught with another person.i know that most that got df'd for straying still didn't get divorced----they tried to work it out.

have you seen this too?

Charisma

It is becoming more and more common even among the JWs. I do think though that the more conservative areas do still have less than others in the congregations. Also, I think there is a slightly lower divorce rate for JWs because of the BIG Brother Syndrome

I think a lot of times we pay people to do things, that are not as difficult as we might think..

of course there is always the gamble that if we do mess up, it costs us even more!

My ex husband, the thing I could say for him, we rarely had to pay for anything to be done by someone else. From plumbing to electrical, to sheetrock to cabinetry, he could do it all.. and with quality work..

I must admit, that is one thing I miss about him.. it amazes me how many men are afraid to try to do things on their own.

Were you caught, did you confess, or did you run?

hi, fyi: d'f'd a month ago, and glad you're all here.

i'm just assessing the sum of the madness that happened since my parents guilt-tripped me into confessing what got me disfellowshipped.

i do very sharply recall that at the moment i decided to do so i had an overwhelming feeling of relief which at the time i thought was me hating the lying about what i'd done and wanting to come clean about that and clear my conscience as a witness, but have since thought might have been me hating the lying about how i feel about the organisation and wanting to come clean about that as a human, ie, whether i'd turned the corner as a witness or i was glad to be getting away from it.

I just walked away. But my family shuns me because they say if I did go back and attend, they would disfellowship me.

I think I would run if someone tried to get me to go back. I couldn't fake believing either.

I hate feet

by rebel8 in

here in the "arctic" northeast, people are beginning to wear their sandals again.

i hate sandal season.. there are a few people with good hygeine and ok looking feet that can pull off the sandal look.

the rest should not be allowed into public without socks and shoes.. i am sick of seeing callouses, dry skin with foot flakes falling off, dirty feet, even worse--dirty toenails, toenails that have not been trimmed (i do not want to see anything but nails trimmed all the way down), corns, fungus, bunions, deformations, etc.
