  nvrgnbk	Re: lurker for seven years
  Post 1941 of 4482 since 19-Feb-07 34 y 7 m 1 d	Welcome snowbird! I was born and raised a Witness. I was a Regular Pioneer, and served at Brooklyn Bethel. I shared many of your observations and sentiments. Ditto here. Thanks Arthur! Also served as an elder. Don't look back. Trust your instincts. Congrats on the success of your daughter! Nvr

  Nvr, this is Snowbird speaking. When I joined this forum on 1May2007, you were one of those who welcomed me. I will never forget how that made me feel. The above showed that you had made 1941 posts by that date. Look how many more you have made since then. You must be doing something right.

  If you feel you have offended someone, then you did the right thing by apologizing. But that's no reason for leaving. I enjoy your witty and sometimes edgy repartee. We're all on a journey out of that controlling environment that is the WTS. It's only natural that we will say or do things that others may find annoying or even repugnant. That's life, but's this time it's for real, baby. Please don't go - -not now and not like this. Yours in trying to find out where I fit in,

  Ok, Mindyemt, I promised I would reply to your post this afternoon.

  What is really the matter, sweetheart? I can tell from your threads that you are hurting badly. No one can help unless you tell them what's wrong.

  Won't you please open up and speak about what's really going?

  We'll be here when you decide to do so.

  Earlier today someone on the board mentioned what a mature, self-possessed young man RichieRich is. I agree totally. However, another young man came to mind also. We know him on the board as R. F.

  I bumped this thread so we can see just how far he has come in dealing with WTS issues. His first post was on 4May007. Contrast that with his latest posts. I think everyone should give him a hearty round of applause. Here's to R. F.

  How many happy JW marriages do you know of?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  just reading frequent flyer miles on the subject of feeling guilty for having a happy marriage with a non-jw.. in our congregation which i haven't attended for about a year, i can only think of two or three who seem to be happy.

  of course, i don't know what happens behind closed doors, but i know of several who admit they are unhappy.

  i wrote out a long list of couples who have divorced over the last 20 years--including three elders (one is on his second divorce).

  Ninja, You are TOO bad. Whenever I read your comments about your mil, I think of Ernest Kadoe's hit song "Mother In Law" Anyone has the lyrics?

  I hope my sil never says this about me:

  he's a good guy my father in law....he stays with her even though she looks like the front cover of an Iron Maiden CD....and sounds twice as loud

  As I said, you are bad, bad, bad...

  Snowbird

  Oh! I almost forgot the topic. Yes, I do know a happily married couple. Well off financially, and you can tell by looking and listening that they love and enjoy each other. Don't know how long they will be IN though. Last time I spoke with wife, she sounded very disillusioned and disgruntled.

  So, bigdreaux, did you go

  to the Big Show?

  If you went, were you spent

  from all the rambling

  along with the ambling?

  Or, did you say

  Hey! No way!

  I'd rather be gambling!

  OH, I remember that place so well, went there for years until they started having them at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center in Biloxi.

  And discontinued having them there once all the casinos went up. Wonder why?

  Got some ground venison I have not idea what to do with.

  I know. Mix a pound of bulk pork sausage (hot kind is best) with a pound of venison, a small can of Italian style stewed tomatoes, minced garlic to taste, shape into patties and pan fry. It should be delicious.
