  Feeling really sad

  by NiceDream in

  2. relationships

  my husband and i have been married for almost 10 years.

  we were married really young, and tried to make the best of it.

  recently, i began listening to my lingering doubts and realized i've been so unhappy because i was living a lie.

  Good advice. Marriage at a young age is quite an adjustment, then a child comes into the picture and as a couple you have even less time for just the two of you.

  I echo the advice from others to try to get any focus off of the WTS. Try to find common ground with things you do have an interest in. Maybe sightseeing, picnics, long walks.

  Any marriage is difficult. Patience is called for. I was married at eighteen. I have been married for close to forty years. It ain't easy.....but hang in....it's worth it.

  well everybody i told you all a few years back how hard it was to be in college at the age of 40. i thought my hair was going to fall out trying to keep up with the young college kids in math and science.

  but now 3 years later i will be graduating this november with my ba degree.

  i just love school and will be applying for graduate school to get my ma.

  Congratulations.

  You have certainly worked hard to EARN your degree. Isn't knowledge freeing?

  You are an inspiration to me. I must keep at it....I am 58 and have 43 more credits to go....and must work full time. But I can't give up!

  so there is nothing negative to be said about jws?

  are they perfect?

  because it is negative does it mean it is a lie?.

  Honor is what the wise ones will come to possess,

  All you have to do is go to the elders and share with them your "honorable" passtime.....commenting on this forum. Go ahead...share your "honor" with them...I dare ya!

  Here are a few tips-1.Practice butt hardening exercises so that you can take sitting for hours in the seat.

  2. Practice bladder control so that you won't have to leave your seat during the session and disturb those around you.

  3. Practice head-nodding so that at appropriate times you can nod with the audience...as when the speaker says, "And so we can appreciate what Jesus evidently meant when he said the word 'generation.'"

  4. Take some anti-nausea pills....looks like you're gonna need 'em.

  The Watchtower relishes the image of being a pure congregation, a "showcase of saints." The church considers itself to be the "hospital for sinners."

  Very nicely put.

  St Ann you said,

  I have a link in my email signature line to my story of leaving the WTS.

  I have never read your story. I have looked back to your first posts but haven't found it. I always enjoy your posts...I'd love to read it.

  well, i have been a memeber for a while.

  thought the site was gone.. nice to see its still up and running.. learned alot here.. to summerize..........born into the jdub......got df'd at 15.... (am 34 now)on purpose (was molested by my uncle, so wanted out, saw the bs of covering that kind of thing up at an early age),.

  dad was an elder, grandad was a po, etc.. left home after being df'd..........ran away....never to return....had a hard time learning how the " world" really was.. anyways......just glad to see this board is still around........just wanted to extend myself to anyone who needs to talk about abuse or the difficulty of "getting out".

  Welcome back.

  You've gone through a great deal in your life. Getting df'd at 15....and I am sure they knew that you'd been molested....they want family to shun you when you need them the most. I can't imagine how you made it on your own leaving home at that age!

  Very proud that you realized your dream of going back to school. I hope that you have some measure of peace in your life now.
