  Sweetface's father has a message for everyone here!

  by sweetface2233 in

  2. experiences

  after being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.

  over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.

  a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.

  You are very fortunate to be able to have a relationship with your dad. Thanks for sharing his advice with us.
  
  Your dad is absolutely right...life is wonderful and an adventure...no matter what has happened in the past, happiness can be had.

  The Other Side of the Wall

  the other side of the wall.

  i recently learned that the meaning of the word "paradise" comes from the persian language and means: walled garden.

  funny thing is, ive been taught from infancy that the word simply meant "garden", which sounds lovely and desirable.

  You are so poignantly eloquent Changeling.
  
  I grew up within the wall too and I was forced outside. I was scared and alone. Everyone I knew and loved remained within the wall. Slowly, the sun began to shine on me and people I would formerly never have given more than a smug passing glance took me in hand. I blossomed and found happiness--a fact that confounds my family still within the walls. I tread carefully though to keep hidden the fact that I despise their paradise, their truth because one member of my family reaches out to me. I don't want to lose that, so I balance precariously between what is in my life and what she wants to hear.
  
  You are free to speak here though amongst the comfort of familiar strangers who have tales so similar to yours. I hope you continue to write your prose and share it.

  I love Smashbox Photo Finish. This is a foundation primer and it makes my skin so silky and the L'oreal version of bare minerals just wears so much better when I use it.

  i am going to tell my story, it will probably be the dumbest thing to do.. especially since i am trying to fade.

  Metaspy--thanks for sharing your heartbreaking tale. It is a trite saying, but time does have a way of healing all wounds. Have you dated anyone? Dating just one person has a way of putting blinders on us....get to know a variety of women to give you a good measuring stick. I agree with earlier comments that Zelda sounds like she needs some professional help...with your issues...you don't need that right now.

  DF and heartbroken

  by cassyrene in

  2. experiences

  let me begin by saying that i never expected to even talk about my situation let alone discuss it on the internet but i guess im just feeling so sad that i must hope that someone will understand and give me encouragement...so here it goes.. .

  but the more active i got, the more abusive my stepmother became.

  ironically, he sent my stepmother to the wedding.

  I don't think I would date an ex-dub because I would worry about them deciding to go back to dubland. Not that it is an issue, because I never meet any ex-dubs except here on JWD.
  
  I use Yahoo personals, plentyoffish, okcupid & match.com. Great success in meeting men this way. It is true that the under 30 set of men are looking for sex with older woman, but I ignore them. I am speaking to two very nice guys right now that seem to have it going on!

  Do You Recognize Your Baptism?

  by sweetstuff in

  i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

  (live forever book, pg.

  154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

  Sweetstuff--I never gave this any thought until I read your post. I like your logic on the matter. I was baptized at age 14. Frankly, it never occurred to me that one day that decision made with little thought would cause my family to desert me. It really is ironic in my family that they speak and associate with our big brother (whom I love and adore) and refuse to even answer an email from me. He does drugs, openly "immoral" according to borg definition and swears like a sailor. He grew up with the truth, but luckily he broke from it when he was 18 without making the mistake of baptism. It cracks both of us up that I have been kicked to the curb and they still have him over for dinner. He has told them he thinks they are being completely ridiculous.
  
  Sweetface--that is very funny! We should get together sometime..we are about 4 hours from each other.

  Describe the Perfect Woman or Man....

  by Dragonlady76 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok after the serena williams thread and a few others that focus on looks i want to know what your idea of perfection in the opposite or same sex is.. i like muscular men with a full head of hair, i love classic features like a strong nose and jaw.. i also find blond blue eyed men sexy (don't ask me why).

  i don't like that are to thin, nice teeth and soft eyes.. ok now it's your turn.. .

  Online Dating

  *sigh* i was seeing someone for several months, but it is not working out.

  so i went back to my only way of meeting men thus far--online dating sites.

  i have had some really cool experiences, but i think i am getting burnt out....if i read one more email from a guy that reads "u r booteful and i wud luv to chat with u and then maybe we go out and eat" (or my personal favorite today--"you are eye-popping"--i am busty and the current picture reveals that little fact) i think i will puke!

  Sweetstuff--we should double date sometime--I bet we would have a lot to laugh about.
  
  
  Collegegirl21-yup, had a few of those lines myself today. *barf*
  
  
  Bigdreaux--the online ads are full of ironies. My personal favorites are the big fat men looking for the trophy girlfriend--skinny & gorgeous!
