Does Knowing the Truth Make you a Happier person?

by gumby in

many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.

for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.

for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.

For women: your view of strip clubs

by Paralipomenon in

i have heard two vastly differing viewpoints on this subject over the years.

regarding your significant other, would you care if they went to a strip club or not?

some examples: .

i was the good little christian girl.

except for one brief blip on the radar, i dated only "brothers" and only with the view to marriage.

frankly, the attitude of the single brothers made me almost despise men.

For the kids is it better to stay married and miserable or...?

by brunnhilde in

...get a divorce and at least have a chance at happiness?

my husband and i would never have gotten married if we weren't both in the borg.

now we're both out and we have nothing in common.

I am happy to hear that your thoughts are the happiness of your son. I work in an elementary school and have seen so many behavior problems because mom and dad are divorced or separated and the children act out their frustration and anger at school by not following directions and getting their work done or by fighting or hurting other children.
If you are both putting your child first and he feels secure with both of you, and you don't fight in front of him, I feel that you are, yes, sacrificing your happiness to stay together, but isn't that what we do when we have kids? Put our desires on the back burner because we are responsible for the emotional needs of our child?

Well sacrifice is a thing of the past!

kerj2leev--you betcha! I mean haven't women been blamed for their man straying 'cause they can't keep them happy. I can't tell you how many married men have given me that line as a reason they should have an affair.

So Free what was your personal opinion of all these guys that gave you this line???? Did you go along with their logic, or was it a turn-off?

And a man who knows how to keep his woman happy and from straying (if you get my meaning)

I personally loved this gem! So if a woman strays its the mans fault???

I'd have to say my sister's longtime boyfriend. He's completely irresponsible, and has the IQ of a slug----(no offense to slugs). He's an alcoholic and has no interest in anything in life beyond where he's going to get his next beer from or where he can buy some lottery tickets from. Even when he's sober, you cannot have an intelligent conversation with the moron. He refuses to get any help whatsoever, as there's nothing wrong with him. Last month, he was so drunk that he fell over the railing on the back porch of their place, and landed on his head. The doctors told him he was lucky he didn't break his neck. Rather than be embarassed, the ####### tells everyone that my sister pushed him. He called me last night pissed out of his mind because they were having a fight (again) about his drinking and he started whining like a 5 year old. I suggested that he call him mommy if he was looking for any sympathy. Dumb jerk.

I guess the real question is why in the world would your sister stay???? I think that would get under my skin more then the a-hole boyfriend!

Mine would be anyone who is passive aggressive.
