  she is 27, and a very special sensitive soul.

  would anyone be willing to post a link to their stories for her?

  i think it would help her understand she is not alone.

  i took freedom frogs personality test yesterday, three times.

  my lowest introverted score was 67. i think that borders on recluse.

  are you comfortable with that part of yourself?.

  My sis has a laughing baby for her ringtone - very infectious!

  I would love that! My default tone is "Always look on the bright side of life" . It's getting old, baby laughing, that would be good.

  I think that you have been given some great advice so far, so I really don't need to add any more but I did want you to know that I am sorry that you have to go through this.

  I have had to kick kids out for drug use, but I would be so proud if one of them was going to graduate in a few months. I would want to support them through it. As a parent, it is what we all want, for our kids to get and education and be able to live an independent and happy (as possible) life.

  I haven't read your history, but I understand that for some JW parents it is embarassing (scarey, horrifing, etc...) when one of their kids acts like they want to get out of the box. The box is their security, it is the future. It is life to them. I know you understand that, we all do. That is why we come here.

  Anyway, I think you have so much going for you. I hope you can see through this and put your shoulders back and begin a path for yourself that is true to yourself.

  I wish you well.

  I agree with all those who have encouraged you to take your time. You are close enough to the same age, that shouldn't be a problem.

  My only input would be to take some time and THINK about your kids, and how an eventual marriage would effect them. How will you handle his conflict with the kids? Teenagers can be rough enough for the biological parent, how about the step dad who doesn't have kids of his own? If you do have kids with him, will he favor his own? IF he does favor his own, how will you handle that?

  Even though considering what you and he say today about these possibilities is important, it is the unexpected turn of events that often leaves us alone with our own internal conflict. You obviously already have a clear committment to your kids. I would recommend both to yourself, and to any potential mate, keep that committment parimount. IMO because it existed first.

  life's but a walking shadow, a poor player.

  that struts and frets his hour upon the stage.

  and then is heard no more; it is a tale.

  JWs and narcissism

  by Hortensia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been thinking about this for a while, so was surprised to see another poster start a thread about narcissism just when i was going to do so.

  however, his thread isn't really the same as what i had in mind.

  i was thinking about the jw belief that jehovah, jesus, all the angels, satan and all the demons and the entire world are watching their entire lives, every single move.

  I always said it as "the truth breeds arrogance" long before I finally left.

  OUTLAW...you are so sincerely funny, and real. Thanks

  Sad, really, that they miss the whole point about what it is to be human

  the real truth
