I want to believe God cares but I find it hard too. Maybe I've convinced myself that I do have a relationship with God but he/she never helps me out or anybody I know.

I just stopped going to meetings this April. Although I've know for many years I did not want to be a JW leaving is hard. My mind is 100% but my heart feels like a fish out of water.

Why did you get married?
by pratt1 inas a young dub in the 80's me along with many of my friends got married, either in our teens or early 20's.. in my area, if you were over 25 and not married, it was percieved that something was wrong with you or you were probably engaging in sex with a "worldly" person.. by why did so many of us feel the need to get married so young?.
i believe it was because of one of three reasons.. 1. you wanted to get out of your parets home.. 2. you had already gone "too far" with you girlfriend or boyfriend.. 3. you were just an average normal teenager and you knew this was the only way you could legally have sex.. .
was this true in your area?.

My ex-wife wanted to get married right out of high school and we did. We had also gone way to far and felt we had to get married. I guess that is why she is my ex now!

bikerchic: you are not harsh or rude. I really appreciate your words and time. I do feel anger after I speak with JW's, and that is not healthy. THANKS!!!!!!!

bikerchic: True i should not listen. I really don't respond when they do call me but I do realize I have to stop talking with them (JWs). I try to be nice on the phone. I just hate two-face JW's.

Well, that put me over the top, she we have been sperataed, I've recieved countless calls from her JW friends telling me how much they hate her and what a bad person she is. Just yesterday I call a call from one of her "best friends" telling me she can't believe what a b*tch my ex is and how better off I'm with out her. My old KH has 6 Elders and 5 of them have called me to tell me that they support me even though I'm not going to meetings and wish that me ex would move halls. They (the Elders) are tired of her playing the "poor me" card. My point is this, I hat two-faced people. I hate the fact that all these JW calll me and talk sh*t about my wife (which by the way I agrre with), then when she is at the meeting, they hug and give her the "how are you holding up" line. Without mentioning names to my ex I warmed her to be carefully becasue all she is being told is true. Just venting hear. That's for listening.

How Many People Here Have Been "Disciplined" By The Elders?
by minimus inby "discipline" i mean, either private, public reproof, disfellowshipping or something that got you in enough trouble that you had to be counseled by the loving shepherds and it cost you something by not having "privileges".

Private reproof. I was counseled may times for dumb stuff. Once I was counseled for taking a group of young brothers to a baseball game on a meeting night. Regarding drinking, I remenber at one wedding a couple of the Elders came to my house after and we all got really drunk. Another found out about it and they counsled ME not the elders for "feeding them drinks". Whatever....
