  by dawgfan in

  i feel somewhat ridiculous.

  i know that a dog is not the same as a child but even my soon to be ex has conceeded on alot of points in the divorce papers, we cannot agree on who gets custody of the dog.

  i've always had dogs when i was growing up, but i really love this dog that we have.

  I've always had dogs when I was growing up, but I really love this dog that we have. He's been the only constant in my life while my wife separated from me, I got news that my grandmother who raised me will die soon from cancer, and generally kept me from being lonely.

  I'm alot stronger now but there were days that dog was the only thing that could make me smile. Even though it was her original idea to get the dog, I'm the one that has spent the most time with it.

  I know I could get another dog or animal but I don't want to. It wouldn't be the same.

  Am I just being too stupid right now?

  i'll try to make this long story short.. in october ... about 3 days before i left for a trip my mother decided to have my cell phone cut off.

  i've had my bill in my mom's name since i was 16 and have always paid it since i was old enough to work.

  but .. out of pure spite, she cut off my phone.

  first my reaction was that i was not interested and i let them know.

  that as i was closing the door.. however, after i closed the door it dawned on me to question them.

  I paid $250 for an mp3 player from Best Buy a long time before they became popular. I had buyers remorse for about a week until I understood everything that it could do. After 2 weeks, I very happy that I had bought it. Now I can't live without it.

  Most of the time when I go shopping and I see something expensive that I want, I use the 1 hour rule I made up. I stay in the store for 1 hour and think about it. If I still want it after that hour, I get it. Most of the time I put stuff back. There's no telling how much $$ I've saved myself by doing that.

  well, things have moved on...my jw man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?!

  if i was a jw it would all be different?!

  is that not like saying if i was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind?

  He may be risking things now but he could have the mindset that if you get married and things settle down - he could get involved again. If that were to happen think of all the things that you would want out of a marriage but could not have.

  An Observation of the dubs

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing i've noticed with dubs is that anything that could possibly (no matter how small the link is) be related to the watchtower society, religion or even their own personal beliefs and thoughts - they are suddenly on the defense.. .

  today me, my aunt and my mum were at the kitchen table talking about mind control and about how anyone could be made to kill, take their own life, hurt others, believe something e.t.c and mum was disagreeing with that, saying people have a choice.

  then suddenly after standing up, when the conversation was nearly over she said "well i dont think i am being controlled" or something like that.

  In the past I may have been argumentative to my wife about some aspects of JWs. I stopped being that way but still today if I discuss anything religious and quote scripture (even using the NWT for her benefit) when the subject has nothing at all to do with JWs she gets all defensive and accusatory towards me about it.

  it felt very strange as i entered into the court room, my attorney on the right and hers on the left.

  we were the first group of 15 or 16 case to be heard today.

  Yes, there is no congratulations at all in that story. I hope you get all the comfort and support you need. Reading all the recollections about the past in your story made me very sad. I have a pending divorce and I know I will feel the same way when that day comes.

  "I feel that the only way our relationship can work is that if I convert."

  --I'm sure he's a great guy but think through all the consequences that you will put yourself through by joining a cult. Its not worth it.
