If your mate cheated on you, could you forgive?

by avidbiblereader in

very personal and yet it happens way too often, but would you forgive and if you did, how would it change you and the relationship?.

or is it over?.

Absolutely not. That would be the end.

Actually my husband and I were taking this silly online relationship quiz the other day, and one of the questions was How would you feel if your mate cheated on you and left??...and I checked the box that said I would feel sad for a few days and then move on. He was so hurt that I didn't check the heartbroken box. He said if I left him he would lock himeself in a room and cry and would never be the same. I just don't feel that way...I would not sit around wallowing in self pity over it.

How polite are you?

by JH in

often i'm following someone into a building and entering the same door, and most of the times, the person in front won't even try to keep the door open so that it wont close in my face.

knowing that someone is right behind me, i'll even wait a second or two and hold the door open for that person.

i guess it has to do with being well educated.

My Mom taught us very good manners, although my brother seems to have forgotten them...but I always try to hold doors open for people, because I appreciate it when people do it for me when I am trying to manuver strollers and kids through a door. My daughter has picked up excellent manners already, I always get comments on how polite she is to people.

I have had to totally train my husband...his mother did not teach him or his brother ANY manners..but he is getting alot better. I am not so embarrassed to take him places anymore.

Specific banned shows, songs, etc...?

by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

i know the society tells people not to listen to rock n roll cause its from teh satan, not to watch r rated movies because they're "worldly", etc.

but i was wondering if folks had any specific instances where one song, one show, one movie, or whatever was singled out as being particularly 'evil', and banned on an individual basis?

i was never a jw, but was in the worldwide church of god...the two are rather similar, i've seen many (and made quite a few myself) comparisons on the board; and i can remember as a child that every once in a while certain things would get brought up as being more evil and worldly than others.. examples of specific bans:.

I remember when the New Kids on the Block were hot, and all the girls in the circuit loved them. So, we had a local needs part on idolatry. I wasn't allowed to have one of those giant pins because it meant I was "idolizing" them.

Then, in my teens, when Nirvana and Pearl Jam were big, they banned those. My parents tore my brothers room apart looking for the cd's. He had hidden them behind a picture in a frame.

When "Interview with the Vampire" came out, they had a big local needs on that, because a bunch of kids had snuck in to see it.

We couldn't watch Rosanne or Married with Children because the kids were disrespectful to their parents.

No He-Man because he said he was "almighty". One time my non dub grandma bought my brother a He-Man sleeping blankets and my parents took it back.

We couldn't read Grimm Brothers fairy tales...to mystical I guess.

No smurfs...I wanted to watch them sooo bad. When my grandma would pick us up from school and my cousins would be at her house and since they were wordly they got to watch smurfs...and I hid my eyes the whole time, but I wanted to watch so bad!

Natural remedies

by onacruse in

over the last year, i've been exploring the use of herbs and supplements...hey, i'm gettin' old, and i need all the help i can get!

lol.

so, here's what i've tried (in addition to general vitamin supplements like b, c, and some other selected minerals):.

mama1119

I am a big fan of the natural remedies. I use alot of the Bach flower essences..those really help with anxiety etc. But, it is agood idea to educate yourself on them, to make sure you don't take a bad combo of things. I would suggest getting an hebal reference book.

Are you choosy and pickey?

i eat the same bread since years, and i love it, and wouldn't change for anything else.

but since a few months it's harder to find because it's not the best seller so the grocery store holds many other kinds, but i'm choosy and pickey and i know what i like.. since a week, i can't find that bread, so today i drove over 300 km's going to different towns and different grocery stores to see if i would find it there.....but no...i didn't.

i see other loaves of bread of the same make that i'm looking for, but not exactly that particular one.. so, i wrote to the company who makes the bread, and told them that they sell a product that can't be found anywhere, and it's not discontinued.... if anyone sees this bread, please pm me.. .
