  Since become an ex-dub

  have you found times like christmas have lost that special feeling?.

  i watch my family and they totally get into the spirit of it and i always feel as though i am sat 'outside' of some bubble or something, i enjoy it dont get me wrong but just not as much as they do.. also, are you less inclined to believe in supernatural or strange things and look for a rational explanation?.

  i find i am slowly looking toward rational explainations for things and in the absense of them i just wait and see.

  I was raised in the truth right from when I was an Egg so I never ever celebrated Christmas or birthdays. Today I can't get into the Christmas mood at all, I'm like scrooge or the grouch. I hate it.

  Everyone expects you to be happy and jolly but i just don't get it. Its not that I think its wrong its just that I don't have the happy Christmas childhood memories that evoke these feelings of joy at Christmas.

  The fact that happiness and joy seem to be compulsory at this time of year makes things even worse !

  Try and download "Wonderful Christmas" by Tom Mcrae, that song really sums up what Christmas is like for me.

  Its Over

  there are some of you that know this already but for those that dont and that are interested to know i decided a few weeks ago to end what was a relatively short relationship with and marriage to, elaine.

  i dont take these decisions lightly and the last few months have silently been hell whilst i try to get a grip on my thoughts and feelings and the decisions ahead; when two people are simply too fundamentally different and do not provide for each other in the way that they should, in my view not a lot can be done and this is the situation i found and find myself in.. i know a few of you might have met elaine and for those that have i dont wish for you to think any ill of her.

  i dont apportion any real blame other than on us both for the breakdown; shes still the same person you met and has some fantastic qualities.

  Shame to hear that Gary, I can remember how made up and pleased you were when you first got married after thinking you would never find anyone else after your first wife .

  As most have said you're better off finishing and being sad for a little while rather than drag that misery out for what could be years.

  Shame you're not local I'd drag you out for a beer or two.

  <<hugs >>

  Ps is it true you've been performing unnatural acts with various immoral carp? lol

  How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'

  sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?

  a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.

  i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

  I used to have loads of friends in the truth, I was Mr popular among my peers. Of those there were a few I would have given my right arm for, really close brothers and sisters that I looked on as just that brothers and sisters.

  Then one day my best friends dad went out and committed adultery, his actions spilt the family up and they were all in pieces. The dad got DF'd and the family went to hell. I stuck my nose in found out where John was living and went to have a man to man chat with him to try to patch things up between him and his wife.

  Word got out that I'd spoken to someone DF'd and I found myself unofficially marked. My girlfriend was told to drop me by an elders wife and my "best" mate was told not to invite me to his wedding. within a few weeks i was the congregational pariah, no one wanted to know me.

  How many real friends did I have on the inside...None would be my honest answer. How many on the outside... again none, because what happened to me really scarred me internally.

  So much negativity here !

  Matt I've spoken with your sis over at thoms and I know that you were popular and well liked in your congregation. So its no real surprise that your ex brothers and sisters still like you. Not every dub is a borg drone. Relax, you are loved and missed and that's all there is to it.

  so who have you met who is famous or slightly famous and under what circumstances?

  (for the benefit of cross atlantic variations in celebrity - attach a pic and/or explanation of who that celeb is) .

  or have you never met anyone even slightly famous but have aspirations to do so!

  I witnessed to Dave Gahan, lead singer of Depeche Mode once when he was stupid enough to open his door while I was out on FS. He was going to shut the door on the Elder I was with but i stepped in and turned the conversation around and we ended up talking about spirit creatures.

  Why did you allow the P.O to dictate to you where you go? I'd have told him to get stuffed, it was your MOTHER!
