  Sometimes it's not whether or not you want kids, but who you want to have them with that's the issue.

  Agreed silverleaf!!

  Before I was with my ex I wanted kids, we were together for almost 8 years and throughout the whole ordeal, I didn't want kids. Now I am with someone who I love dearly, I'm happy for the first time in my life and we both have the same life goals. Now once again I do want kids, as does he and we know that kids are in our future someday

  Breathe by Nickelback.

  I didn't hear this song till I was out for around ten years. To me this song is about the freedoms that I wanted that were within grasp but couldn't have, the freedoms I did have when I finally left and how weird they were, the treatment I recieved from the JW's(feeling like I was out of the "cliques") and how I wanted to please my mom by staying in, but I just felt it was wrong to do so.

  Breathe by Nickelback 

  Two men started walking Started talking bout better days One says to the other He'd do it all again....... if I knew I would And now I found it Found I adored it I didn't want this Can somebody help me see? And now I feel it Feel that I've been there I didn't need this Can somebody help me breathe? Here we are again Just face to facing Each other another day Who wins Well who cares It always ends up the same Seems I knew I would And now I found it Found I adored it I didn't want this Can somebody help me see? And now I feel it Feel that I've been there I didn't need this Would somebody help me stand? And now I've told him Already warned them I didn't want this Can somebody help me breathe? If I was them Then I wanna be What I see If I could pack my life in a moment I wanna know do you want me to go? Gonna give my life never ending Never stop myself from pretending That you always knew that I never could All I ever really wanted was to be the same Equal treatment never ever comes and here we go again All I ever really wanted was to be like you So perfect So worthless If i could take it all back think again I would And now I found it Found I adored it I didn't want this Can somebody help me see? And now I feel it Feel that I've been there I didn't need this Would somebody help me stand? And now I've told him I didn't want this I didn't need this Can somebody help me breathe?

  Wedding Gifts???

  by pr_capone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i am posting this because i have had a ton of people ask me about where to send wedding gifts and things of this nature.

  jes and i have talked about it and combined, we have everything that we can need to fill a home with furnishing, dishes, glasses, and such.

  because i am awaiting my active duty orders i will not be getting paid for a few weeks so what we are needing more than anything is cash.. if anyone would want to send anything in, i guess the easiest will be via paypal in which case my account is [email protected].

  1975..Let's Keep It Alive!

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1975. the end of 6000 years of man's existence, and logically, therefore, the start of the 1000 year reign, which meant that armageddon had to be done and dusted before that.. i remember it well!

  the hype at assemblies, my dad giving up his job and selling his home to move where the "need was great", now minimised by mother with her "oh so you're another seventy-fiver are you" comments.. now it's just something that occasionally embarrasses jw's, some of them deny it ever happened, others think that it was all too long ago to be relevent.. maybe we need to put 1975 into a slot where we can all relate to it.

  maybe those of us who remember that year could chip in as well.. so, what did happen in 1975?

  i've shared a bit about my experiences but i don't think i ever gone into much detail.

  i'm setting this down as an example of what growing up a witness can be like for any lurkers who have doubts or questions.

  i was born into a family of witnesses.

  You have come a long way and as time passes things do get easier I have found. I'm sorry to hear that your relationship with your mother isn't what it once was, perhaps one day things will be back to how they were. It takes courage to tell your story, and I'm proud of you for sharing it and proud of you for being yourself

  Many Hugs To You!!!
