  Holy sh*t, av8orntexas! While managing a store I was robbed by a guy claiming to have a gun. I stayed calm and calmed him when he freaked out over the noise the cash register was making when he hit a button on it while reaching over to get the cash. He only got $50, as I constantly made drops in the safe, and he was caught within a few hours. Not such a big deal, but that was almost a quarter of a century ago, and I've never worked in a similar job since then!

  No, you're not paranoid...you're prepared. Good for you!

  Seriously in need of opinions here

  by DilemmaGF in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  an inactive jw guy, still close and in contact with jw family and some jw friends, wanting to marry a worldy christendom girl.

  he made their relationship known to everybody (family and friends).

  excited to get married to the girl and to start a life proper.. the jw thinking is still strong in him - doctrine, holidays, voting and stuffs; but indicated disagreement with some wts policies, teaching about wts being the only true religion, and did some research about wts, even read a part of coc.. what say you about this guy?

  This thread was also started under Private Discussions, and here was my answer:

  As soon as he experiences a life changing event, such as having kids, he'll run back to the cult and try to drag wife and children with him. No one should ever marry a jw without that jw going through intensive therapy and a prenup about how potential children will be raised.

  Gay Jehovah's Witness Victims

  howdy guys and gals,.

  ben, a fellow jehovah's witness blog.com author, wrote this great article - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-beliefs/gay-jehovahs-witness-victims/.

  we would really appreciate it if you could tell us what you think about this subject and also let us know your personal experiences.. it's completely out of order the way this cult deals with homosexuals.

  Although jws believe in the Bible, they do not equally apply its counsel. They df gay people while at the same time protect child molesters. How sad and sickening that it!

  I'm a Democrat, not quite the bleeding heart liberal, but a Democrat nonetheless, and we have guns in our house. They're locked up, because the grandkids live here but are easily accessible in case of emergency. My husband and I don't carry them out, because we live in a small town with a very low crime rate. However i we did frequent bad neighborhoods or remote areas, we would both obtain a concealed carry license.

  He was out of his mind with dementia, so I don't think he noticed.

  i have been considering signing up for open mic night at a local sports bar here in my little town.

  when i was about 16 years old i started recording some songs i did alone and also with a couple of friends.

  back in 2009 an old girlfriend of mine found a box of my old reel to reel tapes in a box in her mom's garage and she sent them to me.

  This is so strange...you sounded great in both videos, but in the first one you sounded so much like Elvis that I got chills! I don't know if your voice isn't as deep in the second video because of that particular song or due to your young age. Keep singing, frend, you sound great!

  little history about my family.. my wife and i quit going to meetings about 5 years ago.. my sister in law has been df'd for about 10 years - she has 3 kids.. my father in law was an elder for 20 years, and has stepped down about 2 years ago.

  (still believes and mostly active).

  Very sad...I wonder if someone in the family can give his therapists a heads up whille he is in treatment. Providing a copy of this email would be a good start.
