well, my foot has been hurting for a month now on the side of my right foot.

the pain got real bad and i went to the er.they took x-rays and said everything looked o.k.

i made an appointment to follow up with a podiatrist.

A few years ago when i was still jogging i developed Plantar Fasciitis in both feet underneath! This happened three years apart and the doctor gave me Cortizone injections in the heel of my foot! Man, what pain that was! I almost cried but i am not the type to cry easy!! I do understand the pain you went thru! He gave the shots two weeks apart!

I have found out something about myself and that is i can take alot of pain w/o crying!!

im in love with a Jehovah's Witness

by saddler in

i've fallen in love with a jehovah's witness and i know she feels the same way about me but the problem is that im a methodist and cant find it in me to give up my faith and become a jehovah's witness as i would not expect her to give up her faith and it is driving us both crazy.

i've known this lovely lady for the past 8 years and have only now told her how i feel and every second im away from her im thinking of her wanting to be with her.

so im asking people who might know or be able to help

Thank you AudeSapere

At the risk of anyone taking this the wrong way i am hoping to use this forum not only as a means to vent because i am the type of person who holds nothing in but as counseling as well!!

I read many great ideas and opinions here even the funny or mean ones, which by the way i would never do because i could/would never hurt anyone!!

At the risk of posting a thread asking for comments mostly from men they were more then glad to do!! I have an open mind and am willing to listen to what advice is given but may not take!!

I do understand that i am the only one who can help me with my problems but all advice it welcomed!! Please feel free to give me you honest opinions!!

Love and Peace to all!

Dear daystar, upsidedown,finally-free, buttlight, cyd0099, poppers, unclebrute, robdar, littlerockguy, lola28, seeking knowledge, sad emo, clam, damselfy, dimples"my favorite", daniel, dr jekyll, ferret and ruba dub,

Because i wanted to make my thread short and to the point i left many things out and because of that a few things were misunderstood! My bad, i'm sorry!! First i would like to thank everyone, men and women both for your honest imput, that is the way i like to do business so to speak!! His x and his adult daughters know about us thanks to me but they don't know we made up two weeks after we broke up! As far as how much pain am i willing to endure, well, if you only knew what i've been thru in my almost 60 years that would answer your question!!

I am truely sorry for "pissing anyone off" as it was so nicely put! Now the part about the priest, well when we were broke up i went to a priest for six months of counseling but that didn't work! I know i have to dig deep deep down in the inner most part of my soul to find the strength to end this torment!! As some of you have stated i do deserve what he is doing to me because I AM ALLOWING HIM to do it!!

I am not doing the chasing, when he wants me he has to hunt me down to find me because i DO NOT sit around and wait for him!! Michael and i are both to blame for what we are doing to each other and we both know it!! In spite of what some of you may think i am not mad or hurt by your comments! I ASK you for them and i got just what i asked for, now didn't i??

Here are hugs and kisses to you all for the kind and not so kind comments, i know you were only trying to help!

Here goes!

Good morning guys, i'm a women in love with a JW who does not feel the same way about me! We have been in this relationship for the past seven years! I will try to make this short and to the point so as not to bore you ok!

He hides our relationship and me from his friends, family and neighbors! He is controlling, selfish and rarely tells the truth! I am almost 60 and he is 55! He was divorced approx. eight years ago and has three adult daughters! We broke up approx. 1 1/2 years ago and made up two weeks later! My problem is i want to end our relationship but lack the emotional strength to do it, i even went to a priest for counseling to help me end it but that didn't work either!

One day i made a list of things i didn't like about him and things i did, the pros were about five and the cons were about 20 and i gave it to him, it seem to really get to him but not enought!! Please let me know what you think good or bad, i can take it, really i can!!

Thanks

Great idea SudeSapere

I wondered why they didn't respond!! What you said about being taken out of the closet hit home, that's just what i feel like when we get together even when there's no sex involved! I'll post the thread now! Thanks sweetie!

hey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.

my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.

i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

Welcome sweetie

BTY, i like frogs, they are clean after you wash them! Just kidding!

Another Newbie :)

it's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.

(you're doing the math already, aren't ya?

:) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

It's ok merfi

It's not rambling, it's sharing with people who care!!

UBMs - why do we love JWs??

by Super_Becka in

i think there's been a thread on this before, but i figured i'd ask again.. for all of the ubms out there, why is it that we love witnesses??

what is it about them that we find so attractive??

why are we putting ourselves through this mess when we know full-well that there are lots of non-jws out there who would be better for us??.

Dear SMF

Did you mean me or someone else, not sure!! If it's me, my boyfriend has not hooked up his computer, it's still in his van, i'm surprised someone hasn't stolened it!! Just shows you how bright he is!!
