  This board is a tremendous and amazing tool and help.

  I already was preparing to exit, but knowing I have a place to vent is really going to help even more than just the support of good friends and my fiance.

  we've just returned from the wedding of our first born son, simon, to tania.

  it was great, i shall post some pics in a few days.

  however, following the wedding, i had a brief telephone conversation with my jw mum who asked me if anyone had noticed that she had not joined in any of the toasts to the bride and groom.

  Whenever any witness mentions anything of pagan origin I always am reminded of the heart symbol. I don't think there is a jw that doesn't have a little heart drawn on something even if done by the kids. Hmmmm another dose of pagan origins anyone?

  Btw thats wonderful about your son's wedding.

  Number 2. In field service, assign him to 'special return visits' on homes that Smell. There are 3 types: Houses

  that smell like cats ( "Does your pet lynx use the litter box?"), houses that smell like urine ("does your child

  use the litter box?") or houses that always smell like frying bacon ("You folks be careful in this neighborhood,

  ya hear?")

  So would it be possible to "forget" certain places have very opinionated or people on the borderline do not call variety to take him to?

  Divorce after 20 years ?

  by oldflame in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was talking to a friend the other day, he told me that he wanted to get married but there was a problem with that.

  he told me that he and his wife split over 20 years ago and he does not know where she is.

  he said he has looked and cannot find her so he can file divorce papers.

  The answer would be could he? Yes

  Though as everyone else said contacting a lawyer will give him the most sound advice.

  As g money said though sometimes publication can be done to locate, or must be and then it will default. In most states that's very true. Basically it's a stipulation that requires the one filing to put in a public notice attempting to locate the other person for a period of time. If no reply at the end of that time the divorce is granted.

  In Minnesota, where I am all divorces are no fault and so truly no real reason is needed to file and get one granted even with the other persons objection.

  In your friends case is it possible she's already filed for one? Especially if he hasn't seen the child in roughly the same amount of time as he hasnt seen her, because it's really unusual for someone with a child to not try to get child support in any manner.

  There are a lot of sites that could be of use to him as well with the divorce process, a number of divorces web sites and support groups.

  Hope that helps.

  so this morning since my parents are both very devout witnesses i get a knock at my door, i'm supposed to go with.

  i'm in my pajamas.

  typical guilt trip and mention that ultimately it is my choice, more guilt tripping (last time i checked i was 26 closing in on 27 ironic isn't it how they still don't want to allow decision making).

So they leave.

  For the last hour or so there has been a severe thunderstorm full of ground and window shaking lightening, and though its now moved on I can still hear it in the distance. So wouldn't you say thats God saying go door to door in that suckas! LOL! I just found the timing perfect.

  Riot of the Guilted but still not giving in class

  Two things, my favorite blanket made for me by my moms best friend, I still have it even though its been around for 20 some years.

  My mans ring, the one that always was with him, the ring that means the most to him. He gave it to me, the gesture behind it means more than the ring. It's in my care until he returns.

  When partners lie

  by Es in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  heya all, im in a bit of a situation, i have just found out that my partner lied to me about an incident with his family, i am having a lot of trouble with his family at the moment, which then in turn is casusing major troubles with him and me.

  anyway it wasnt the worst lie out and he said he did it to protect me and to avoid another arguement with us which yes i can understand.

  but he bluntly lied to me which in the end has caused more problems as i am having major trust issues right now.

  Personally, I am a huge fan of honesty, and being able to communicate about anything, no matter what it is.

  I agree with that statement because of little and large lies that only contributes to bad feelings and questions and resentment. What if the org was honest, I'm sure some would stay around because of that, but they lose people because they destroy trust.

  To have trust you need honesty.
