Hey Crumpet, thought i'd better add something after trevor the thread killer - i think it really hurts when friends let you down. im a giver too, and as a human i DO expect some giving back and feel hurt when people dont treat me like i treat them. but i think you have to keeep giving to be true to yourself.

45When "friends" let you down...
by Crumpet inhave you ever been in a position where you really needed your friends - ie a relationship break down, or some other event and expected your friends to rally and support you.
only to find that those friends are nowhere to be seen or heard and when you tentatively enquire how they are in the hope for some kind response you get - "oh well you'll get over it.
" or words to that effect and by email.. i have as you can guess a reason and recent experience of my own that i'll share later, but i wondered how do you handle that?

Grabbing your butt..
by sammielee24 inwatching the clip of george bush sr patting terri hatchers ass after lunch and a kiss on the cheek makes me wonder about a few things.
first - at what level of intimacy do you allow said pat or grab?
would you let an acquaintance do it?

No one touches my butt apart from my hubby! i have real issue with this as it was something considered acceptable in our family to slap someones butt to hurry them up up the stairs etc. it used to make me mad. but then my father also thought it was fun to snap the back of your bra too, i never got that at school but i had to put up with it at home!

Ridiculous teenager counselled at Assembly.
by Duncan inthe ridiculous teenager is me.
this story takes me back to 1969, when i was 15 years old.
we were attending the international assembly at wembley stadium, near london, the only time, i think, that wembley was ever used for an assembly.. if youve ever read any of the stories i posted on jwd over the years, youll know that i was never one of those kids growing up in the truth who always had doubts about it or was unhappy and miserable with the religion, just waiting for the chance to get out.

That was sooo funny - i remember the clapping games and the singing games. my dad was worse with the mouthing of scriptures - he used to say (quite loud) the scripture that the bro was going to use for his point and looked smug when he was right. the nodding REALLY p****d me off before i left - we had some big nodders in our cong

Relationship with none jw and never a jw was way easier from my point of view - i got someone who supports me no matter what and doesnt put god in front of me. simon my hubby supports ME all the way, regardless of what anyone else tells him to do!

thats a cool story, getting in trouble for no 1975 - my parents always told me that 1975 wasnt ever set in concrete by WTS and that it was people seeing things that weren't there - did the WTS actually print 1975 is the end or not?
