this is a true experience that i thought i would share, one that occurred just a few years ago in my area.
it is a real experience, nothing made up here.. a younger couple moved into our kh, into the joining congregation (so not ours, but the other one that shared our kh).
they seemed nice enough, they had one boy that was about 8, and a baby on the way.
This JWN member has written extensively about a sexual predator that is in her congregation: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/member/33848
Her attempts to warn others were shot down by elders, and I think her husband was deleted as an elder, because she brought the offender's criminal record to their attention.
Sick, sick cult!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jesus had nothing to say - for or against, homosexuality.
yet in his name, ignorant 'christian' parents will shun their children.
and jesus does not interfere.
I love how all of these "Christians" have such foul mouths!
i haven't really been on here in like, a year.
my stbx introduced me to this site and then a whole buch of life happened and i just sort of never had time for forums.
but here i am at 3am, another sleepless night, and i feel like i am simply lost.
Not only should you throw him out to fend for himself, you should pursue him for child support. Maybe if he'd been working as much as you have, he wouldn't have time to pursue a woman who is not only emotionally unfaithful to her boyfriend, but is also willing to stay involved with a married man.
Take some time to consider exactly why you still love this guy. He is using you for emotional and financial support while flaunting his online relationship with another woman. By your description of him, he is not worthy of you being his wife or best friend.
The longer you hold onto him, the harder it will be to move on with your life. Find friends and/or a support group/therapy. I hope things work out well for you and your kids.
i'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.
i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.
i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.
Hey, I'm doing okay. Would love to talk to you again and catch up. I'll pm you my new number.

I suspect that your neighbors aren't overly friendly to you, because you are single. If your city has a big crime problem, you're probably viewed with suspicion. Take the opportunity this Halloween to sit in your front yard and give out candy to the kids. It will give you a chance to at least greet your neighbors. When new people move in, make the effort to welcome them to the neighborhood.
I'm very lucky to live in a small town where crime is just about nil. With the exception of one family, everyone on our street is friendly. We all help each other out. I hope things get better for you, because having good neighbors makes for a happier home.

ok, i'll admit it...i am weak.... as everyone knows, the pressure to "pioneer" during "the most momentous, awesome, amazing, centenary anniversay of jesus invisble kigdom rule, & distribute tracts about a dodgy website" campaign is very strong at the moment.... also, many will have read my threads about the extreme views and expectations in our cong for "all appointed men to pioneer" etc..... every elder and ms and their families have been announced as pioneering....i mean everyone's name was read out except mine..... i was not going to do it, as i do not believe anyone should be forced...(and of course its the last thing on earth i would rather do anyway since learning ttatt).
but i am not quite ready to make the break yet, so i realised that i would stand out more if i didnt put in a form to pioneer.
yes it would make me more conspicious, and make fading harder to do...it would bring more heat on me if i didnt pioneer.. so i gave in and submitted a form.... now, of course, i'm only going to make sure i'm seen at the key field service groups etc...but then go and do something more interesting...like count blades of grass..... ahh....i feel hypocritical to myself now......
Look at it this way; you will be going out and encouraging "worldy" people to look up the Watch Tower on the internet. You don't reallly think that most of them will just check jw.org, do you?
so, a guy i know and would sometimes chat with briefly at work came to me recently.
he said he'd been invited by his neighbor to attend the upcoming jw convention.
apparently, he had heard that i used to be a jw and wanted to get my thoughts about whether he should go.
As I told you in my email, it was kind of you to help this poor guy. You may havesaved him from becoming a cult member!
not sure if this bothered other people, but it absolutely drove me crazy!!!!.
ok, typical annual memorial.
the emblems are being passed around.
I don't believe in Satan or Satanism, but the passing of the emblems without partaking still creeps me out. I read somewhere that Satanists have the same ceremony in order to reject the body and blood of Jesus.
