well my situation has developed a bit, any advice appreciated.. their has been a gradual building up of pressure ever since i stood down as an elder about 6 months ago.. i have been telling my wife about my doubts but have continued to attend "some" meetings.. as time has progressed i have become more open with my criticism of the org.. i mentioned the un scandal, molestation trials, false prophecy ect etc.. interestingly she does not deny these facts and yet still wants to continue as a jw.. i told her that god is not happy with people knowingly being part of a false prophet (deut 18 - etc) - starting to lay the groundwork for my exit.. she appreciates the difficult situation doubters are in - they cannot openly express their feelings for fear of jcs.. anyway, a few weeks ago we moved house which meant changing congregation.. but i felt it would be best if i did not attend meetings " at all" at the new cong so my fade could be easier.. but i could not have predicted my wifes response - when i told her it was an explosion of emotion, i mean real heartbreaker stuff.. she seems depressed at the prospect, perhaps the reality is finally hitting home.. last night, about 3a.m.

i noticed that she was not in bed.

i went downstairs and she was sobbing away to herself.. "i can't go to that hall myself!

so 8 years ago this time, i was running around in a mad rush - hairdressers and make up and flowers and so on.

the wedding was gorgeous.

somehow, by some miracle, we managed not to totally piss off either of our families (nic - of a catholic/anglican background and me of a jw background).

Mrs Smith

Happy anniversary Boo. Have a wonderful day!

WHY do you HAVE to carry a bag of any sort? HUH?

Cause when your're having a peroid you can't exactly keep your tampons in your hand.

My hubby loves that I carry a handbag, When we're out together he keeps his keys and sun glasses and any small purchases in my bag....no wonder my back get so sore

Having a Baby......?

so i'll be turning 32 soon.

my life has been mostly pleasant.

i don't have any 5 year plan or anything like that, but i do want to be a mom no later than 34. i am single, no great love of my life, not even someone to like out there at the moment.

There is a home for children here in the Cape called the House of Hope. They often look for places of safety for children that need to be removed from their home. Documents for these kids are only prosessed during business hours so when the police get to a home where the child needs to be removed on a Friday evening (this happens a lot ) the kids are place in place of safety for the week-end. I know this is not for everyone cause these children are often very traumatised and do not trust adults. But if you have the heart for it it's a good place to start and you'll be making a huge difference in these childrens lives.

I will sign up when my children are a bit older and not so demanding on my time. I think these children will need a lot of attention as some of them have been abused for years.

Meds & Vitamins

by LouBelle in

so i was going through my bag, pulling out the pills and vitties i take every day and it amounts to quite a bit.. every day i have to take 3 medicated pills: ecotrin - thins the blood.

eltroxin & dyroxin to stimulate my thyroid.

every day i take: 4 fibre tablets (different times of the day) 1 supradin vitamin in the morning to get me going, 1 sachet bioplus mid morning to keep me going and a berocca effervescent tablet in the late afternoon to round the day off.. my grand total of: 10 a day..

Mrs Smith

In my bag I have my Vent eez for asthma that's all! At home I have Septogard just incase I get the sniffles, it's very good stuff! I take Eltroxin every day too Loubelle. So I have something in common with both of you. Now if you look at hand bags and make up .... well that's another story altogether.
