finding love with a former jehovah's witness often times, i thought to myself whether or not it .

would prove to be an advantage or a disadvantage.

dating a former jehovah's witness.. advantage or disadvantage?

I would consider dating a former JW, but I would not actively seek one out.

We all have baggage, so I would not care so much about that, but sometimes I have conversations on this board that are truly heartfelt and very spritually uplifting for me.

My husband does not get why I need to be on here, or why I still cry when I think about all I have missed out on life by being ones of JW's. It because he does not get how destructive the religion is to your morale. How insignificant or horrible they(elders) try to make you feel. Even when I try to talk to him about it he still does not fully comprehend and I get a just get over it vibe from him. That's when I wish he was a former JW, I feel that he would understand me better. My first post here I cried and cried writing it, not really expecting anyone to reply and I was surprise when I bombard with such heartfelt respones. I could even get him to read it. So yeah I would date a former JW.

Spend how much for wives/girlfriends?

by greendawn in

how much should a man tolerate a girlfriend or wife that is very demanding on clothes/shoes and other articles such as perfumes, handbags etc?

is there a limit to what one should spend to keep them happy beyond which it becomes a case of them taking advantage?

Okay I'm with the minority here, or rather the only one who probably thinks this...........

I don't think there should be a limit. No one should be demanding things either, though. I spend my money freely on my loved ones, but I happen to be very blessed financially. But I don't expect the same thing in return. If I have it to give or spend, I usually do. BUT only on those who would appreciate it.

Fuzzy Right-of-Way Rules Leads to Pathetic, Awkward, Theocratic Dork Fight

"there were watchtowers and osmond cd's strewn around everywhere" recalled the shaken resident marjorie spade, whose yard was the setting for a lame, sissy fight.

"i couldn't believe that in this day and age we still are fighting religious wars", she said in the aftermath of the flailing, ineffectual fracas.. apparantly the outbreak of faith-based nerd violence took place when two groups of youths approached eachother while out in their respective ministries.
