okay, so i just turned 18 last june.
my family is jw and i grew up in the religion also.
i'm not baptized, and i do study once in a while.
my advice, tell them... just come out and tell them... they will eventually find out... and im pretty damn sure they have their suspicions already.. tell them, see what their reaction is... dont think you cant make it on your own, because you can... if you plan on staying a dub, well best of luck to you... but i know thats not your intention in life... so tell them... givethem that respect.. theylll bitch and yell till theyre done.... but at least youll know where you stand
the infamous one
for the past couple of years at my district conventions, i have been unable to actually listen to most of it, so my mind is in many places.
one such place was to count people in several of the other sections as to blacks and whites.
section 132..42 white and 137 black, section 133..36 white and 144 black, and so on.
ssorry coaster... i was in a very bad mood last night... i dont think you are racist for a second... just thought to myself, who cares... obviously you do... sorry man
the infamous one
so, simply put, i am in love... and love makes a man do some really stupid things.... love makes a pretty damn intelligent man feel pretty damn stupid quite often as well... so here's my story... i have been dating this girl for almost a year now... she is beautiful, sweet, and really just everything i imagined in a life mate... she lives with me... she doesnt work, while i do full time, and also go to school... i make very good money, so that does not bother me... but heres where it all begins... a few months ago, she went to cuba with her sisters, and imoved her into my place while she was gone, her idea, not mine.. now we keep our condoms in a certain place.... anyways, her box of condoms was gone, with her... when she comes back, our little box of condoms is empty.... instead of asking her about it, i explained it to myself as she must have given them to her sister.... .
while i am gone at work, i usually give her a call on my breaks... i notice that she never answers the phone between 6-8 pm.. home or cell... her explanation is that she is always in the shower... the problem with that is that she is always coming out of the shower when i get home.... i get home at around nine... so either she is taking a 3 hour shower or she is taking two showers a night..... she disappears off the face of the earth everytime she goes home to visit her family... like shes not home, shes not answering her phone and only ever calls me when she is in her car....her explanation is that she is at a cousins house.. conveniently, one that i do not know..... last night she went to a wedding... it was over at 11, i know this because she had told me, nd a friend of mine tht was there said that it ended then,,, it was a dry wedding, no dancing... very religious people... i was supposed to meet her at 130 today, i got to the train station that she was coming to, 15 minutes early and waited over an hour there... finally as i decied to walk back home, she gives me a call... i will be home at 5, meet me at the train.... of course, i have been calling her since last night at 11 to tell her i would meet her at 130 as she had planned... i made brunch for her, which is now in the garbage... i was scared shitless she had been hit by a car or dead since her phone has been off since last night.... i asked her why she is so late, i was helping move things until 3am last night... bull shit.. all the gifts were given prior to the weding and the bride and groom had already moved into their new place.... i know because she has told me in the past.....her phone was dead according to her... but all of the sudden, she is able to use it.... no charger, but she can use it..... i did confront her once, and she exploded on me!!!!
like screamed and screamed and said she was insulted i even asked... textbook defensive behaviour right????.

so heres the question; do i have an over-active imagination??? am i trying to hard to play CSI here, or do i need ot get out of this before i come home to her in bed with another man???? im torn, scared, and most of all hurt right now... i do everything for her, support her financially and love her deeply, and i think i am being betrayed...
HELP!

i'm in immense pain! and thanks for reading
so we were just freinds.
i was just becoming good freinds with her best freind's brother, which is now gone.
so i smile back and say "good, not much.
first: you're 17... you were not in love, you were not close to love, you were infatuated.... yeah, i know its harsh, but once you start getting into real relationships you will see.... this was a crush, this was infatuation... i know because i was 17 not too long ago... i called myself a hopeless romantic... and now i realize that the honest to god truth is this; i was just a baby... damn, im probably still just a baby... i can oly imagine what the future is gonna bring me in the whole "love" department.....
that being said, i also remember how much it hurt to lose "love" at that point... especially in the borg... just remember this; there is so much out there.... while i dont suggest it for you, your options are surely different than mine, i was living on my own at 17! remember that you will heal... it will not take long... being young helps us heal quicker, not only physically but also emotionally...
second: why the hell do you want a friend like that? she is (pardon my french) an (expletive deleted) bitch.... if she is going to be this rude to you, make you feel insignificant and throw you away like a dirty rag, over gossip, well, you're way better off without her... remember man, she threw you away! and the other thing here is, she is a dub... even if this relationship progressed somehow, she will abandon you when you decide it is time to leave.. i think its better to get rid of her now, than 2 years from now, when you are so much closer to her.... you do not want someone who can be that rude, and lets be honest, MEAN, as a friend...way better off without people like that in your life...
i like the line you sed... i use it myself, since i do not have family that i can call family.. the one when you say "friends are the people you choose to be part of your life"... man, i think you need to choose better... while i was in the borg, i took the society's words seriously... be aware of who your friends are, especially in the borg... find people who feel slightly like you... or at least those who you know will be there for you when you decide to leave... i have one or two who were there for me when i was in, and when i was out.. and now they are out too.... its easier said than done, but it can be done!!! find better friends... you dont need either of those bitches...
third: you are not alone... the borg is rying to force you to feel that way... they want you to think there is no one to hug you better... no one who really cares... they want you to feel so alone that only the GB will be there for you... from my experience here, there are so many people to turn to... so many people on this site alone that will be like your mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters... people that, will call you, long distance, at three in the morning if you need someone to talk to...im one of them, only because some of the people here have done it for me... PM me if you need to talk, i can call you anytime man... anytime you neeed.......
as much as i cant hug you and say it will all be better... i can at least tell you this, I HAVE BEEN HEARTBROKEN, TOO MANY TIMES... but it taught me so much... it made me a better person... most importantly, IM ALL BETTER NOW! so what i am telling you is this, IT WILL ALL BE BETTER!!! YOU WILL BE OK!!!
and with all that, i send you a virtual hug!!!!! good luck on growing up, its hard... and PM me any time you need, ill be your big brother...
and might i suggest getting a part time job?? give yourself some contact with people other than witnesses and some time outside of home with mom....

well, pardon my language here, but WTF???????
first and foremost... who cares? i have seen the shift myself, because i have gone to a district convention or two to see my mother and sister... and yes, there are more black people there now... i guess now that i think about it... but why the hell does it matter so much to you? southern baptists are heavy on blacks too...
im sorry maybe im seeing some racist innuendo that is not there, but i dont see why the hell you are sitting there playing count the negroes... i think that, even if you are at an assembly, you must have better things to do with your time.. like writing, reading or going for a walk...
this topic kinda offends me... im sorry if im being a prude here, but your (not that it matters) doesnt help the situation here... black or white, they are people... your observation to me is, well, offensive, and a nice step towards racism in my books....argh, now i sound like a prick, and i know someone will say calm down infamous, but seriously, COUNT THE NEGROES?????

while I enjoy these spoofs - in my opinion RAPE is such a horrible traumatic subject that I think this spoof is innappropriate
oh come on.... rape is a terrible thing, i agree... but the guy is obviously not spoofing rape, or making fun of rape, he is making fun of th witnesses crazy reactions to this shit

the internet is a great tool for learning.
it's also a place where even idiots can get a hearing, attention which they often crave, and often, if their ideas are wacky enough but strongly and coherently presented, they often get followings.
take, david icke for example.. idiots, who wouldn't get as much as a sniff from those who know them, can get all the attention that they want on the net.
i read one of icke's books, i had a laugh and a half...
the man called himself jesus, and thats how he lost his soccer carreer... funny stuff
