dear friends,.

i am posting this for a close friend who is very involved in trying to get equal rights for everyone including marriage for homosexuals.

we have talked deeply about spiritual things and how we both escaped mind-controlling cults.

Polygamy = umbrella term

Polygyny = multiple wives
Polyandry = multiple husbands

Polyamory = doesn't have to involve marriage at all, and usually doesn't

Incense...

by *summer* in

jw
friends

do any of you enjoy lighting incense?

if so, what is your favourite scent?

which reminds me...i always light a stick of incense an hour or so before the "girls" show up for study.

MadTiger

I love the stuff.

It has spiritual connotations for me now that I am learning about these things.

I can make custom scents, also.

Wife vented tonight!

by 5thGeneration in

jw
friends

my babe (wife's approved nickname) finally vented today because it was her birthday, which we couldn't acknowledge, and she feels really emotional that she never had a chance at a real career, may have wasted her life, etc.... she may be coming around a bit but now this is really uncharted territory!.

ironically i'm getting through to her but it's scaring the bajeebers out of me now!

"You know, Babe, I was thinking about the other night when you expressed your frustration at not being able to celebrate your birthday in a good conscience. I felt bad because you felt bad, and let me tell you, I wouldn't have seen any problem in you being happy to be alive and counting your blessings and feeling particularly special."

No charge.

So that's what the other shoe looks like. Update with my parents

by Paralipomenon in

jw
friends

heading to the apostafest this weekend, we have made a deal with our friends to look after our kids.

given that they already have 3 children, adding 3 more could be stressful so we thought we would ask my parents if they wanted to take one overnight.

bobbi mentioned that she hadn't really heard much from my mom and suspected something was up.

MadTiger

Now, that is how you handle business. Waiting for the next installment.

Watchtower Secret Society....

by Sarah Smiles in

here is part of the posted watchtower on the wtbts .

secret groups in modern times have often been formed for quite honorable reasons, possibly for "social and benevolent purposes," according to the encyclopdia britannica, and "to carry out charitable and educational programs.

" some fraternal organizations, youth clubs, social clubs, and other groups are also secret, or at least semisecret.

Very good post.
