It is not allowed by the j.w.'s,, she is definitely leading a double life. She sounds like quite a winner. You probably aren't going to like this, but I think that you and your husband might benefit from marriage counseling. I'm glad that things are going good for you right now, but there has to be an underlying reason why he put himslf in a compromising position several times. I would have a hard time believing my husband that he was truely sorry if he went back over there for any reason. Even if whatever his weaknesses were are better now, it can't hurt to get even closer. I wish you both the best.

Republicans Face "Extraordinarily Problematic" Crisis
by nvrgnbk inafter string of losses, republicans face crisisby jonathan weisman and paul kanewashington post staff writers .
thursday, may 15, 2008; page a01 .
house republicans turned on themselves yesterday after a third straight loss of a gop-held house seat in special elections this year left both parties contemplating widespread democratic gains in november.

Both parties need to keep in mind that they are elected by the people, for the people (that means all the people). The reason that I lean Democrat is that what is scarier to me than "higher taxes" and terrorists is a powerful, wealthy political party that feels no responsibility toward the people who elected them. My attitude toward government is "do some good or get out of the way". I would rather live in a no police state than pay taxes to a Republican dominated government that chooses to benefit the oil comanies and CEOs at the expense of hard working individuals. Sorry if I am being harsh here, but I feel that there is something really morally wrong with the current administration.

This is how JW's view the change in the book study
by TooBad TooSad ina very good friend of mine is convinced that the change in the book study arrangement.
is a sign that the end is so near and the jehovah made the change to emphasize the.
importance of the meetings.

I had a pioneer tell me that she thinks it is a loving provision so that families can have more time together. They finally realized that strong families make up a strong congregation, what a concept, dumb xxxes. I always thought that the five meetings a week was too much, fortunately I kept a good relationship with my real family (biological) when I was in. Now that I am out, if I heard any group of people say that "we are your new family", it would set off a red-flag cult allert.

I came in at 13-yrs-old and left at 24. I always had good childhood memories of life before (all of the family together for Christmas and B'days,ect). Even though I became a "good little witness" and made them my new "family" (disgusts me now), in the back of my mind I alway had those fond memories. So, it was easier for me to leave than for some.

Where is your compassion? Healthcare is a human right and many other countries do provide it. It is immoral to not provide care for our elderly and our children who dearly need it. If it keeps going up 30% a year, eventually only the elite will be able to access it and that is abusive. If a socialist society does take care of it's citizens, then maybe socialized medicine wouldn't be a bad way to go.

Hackabee's plan of doing away with the IRS would be a drop in the bucket. The average family pays a few thousand in taxes per year, but with healthcare cost, the mortgage crisis, ect. it would barely touch the surface of most family's debt. Atleast Hilary and Obama would spend some of our tax money here at home instead of financing a country overseas. The government should feel some accountability toward the people and how they use use our tax dollars. The economy cannot be measured by the success of corporations when the average citizen cannot afford to have some of the basic necessities of life (an education and medical care). It is time to start healing things at home, or we won't have to worry about immigration because nobody will want to live here. Sorry, but the "American Dream" is getting to be out-of-reach for a large percentage of Americans.

offers to study after going inactive!!
by gabriella ini just recieved my third offer to have a bible study after being inactive for several years.
hello,, i remember where the kh is if i wanted to attend and i think after five meetings a week my whole life i know what the teachings are without having another "study".
i just found it very degrading and arrogant to assume that there must be something "wrong with me" or that i "needed help".

Maybe I am secure enough to live a clean life without needing to be told what to do every day at mind-numbing meetings. I am sorry but I just really needed to vent. Do any of you find it insulting and impolite to be asked to study again after being baptized and leaving of your own accord? Any good responses that you have used? I have family still in, so I want to just stay as I am. Why can't they let me be?

HELP - my boyfriend's ex called and wants them to reconcile....what to do?
by Juniper ini've been seeing an amazing man for a few months now.
i recently found out that before we met, my boyfriend had been thinking about getting back together with his ex-girlfriend.
(who is going through a divorce of her own right now) they have a two year old son together.. he says that if his child weren't involved, he wouldn't even consider going back to her.

If you love him, I'd say be a good friend (stay in his life) and give him reasonable time to make his decision. If you are not crazy about him, I would tell him it is too much drama and bid him farewell and you could have some peace back in your life. I am not sure that I could do well with the "baby momma drama" myself in your shoes. Ex-girlfriends are one thing, usually they eventually leave you alone. When they also have a child/children to hold over the guy's head, feel like they still have a say in his life, and he has to keep in touch all the time that's another story. I'm sure if I had kids myself I would feel differently, but I've known women who have admitted to having a child/ or even more than one to "keep him at home" or save their marriage. It just makes me sick because that's not a good reason to have a baby (to save a doomed relationship). I wish you the best and I hope whatever he decides he chooses with his heart. Gabriella

Can/Should someone be in love with more than one person?
by AK - Jeff innot a question that affects me personally - i am dutifully bound to a single woman now for 33 years [omg that is 1/3 of a century already].. but do you believe that it is possible or profitalble to fall in love with more than one person at the same time?
in western culture it is normally considered 'betrayal' to do such a thing - but thoughout history and in cultures outside of the west today - it is considered acceptable, even normal.. typically it is the man who has more love interests than just one - not the woman - but some cultures have supported multiple partners for women also.
this is not a thread about judging others - just an inquiry about opinion.

While it is definitely possible to fall in love with two people, I don't think that you can love them each the same and as strongly. Eventually, a decision has to be made and one love will prove stronger in the end. I think that is the painful part. It happened to me once that I began to really care about two guys at the same time, not in the same way. One was sincere, dependable and had many good family and marriage qualities. I knew I could have a future with him. The other was very spontaneous, passionate and unpredictable, but I loved his independence and freedom. I am happily married to the sincere, dependable one. It was painful for a while, though, and I would never knowingly put myself in that position again. I don't recommend it, cuz whatever your decision is in the end, you will end up loosing someone that you love,,
