i think you may have bad info fith....the slave was FORCED to do away with literal LIFESPAN of those who saw the beginning of the sign because they are almost all dead.....first they did away with having to have SEEN it...just be born in 1914.....they HAD to get rid of literal generation...so how could they bring it back with almost nobody alive from back then?............where did you get your meeting info?...........oompa

58New light: Generation
by 5thGeneration ingot some info from the annual meeting.. unofficially, the 'generation' is now categorized as 2 groups.
the first is 'the 1914 group' and the second is the younger anointed 'contemporaries' who 'actually work for a period of time with those anointed ones'.. the 'generation' is now 'the lifespan of those who actually saw the beginning of the sign and then the lifespan of those who worked with those who saw the beginning of the sign'.. here we go again....

"In the 4 years I've lived here I have had or invited every single person to my house for entertainment and no one calls to see where we are. "
OK WF...im confused...that was from your first post...and it says you married a navy man...but not if you are still married!!....but then why would you be inviting sinlge persons over???....funny term if you are lookin for kid friends for your kids....nice post and thread btw and you sounded really happy with this nice big "worldly" world....what a small box we lived in and that "us against them" mentality was soooo stooopid....i have been living....and sometimes living too large btw...but damm i just keep being AMAZED at how nice most "worldly" people are...and i dont know why because i have had tons of good nondub friends over the years through business....but living the world now is wonderful!!...i love freedom....oompa

had second thoughts about divorcing my JW wife...
by oompa injust this week after being separated a little over two months....and funny cause i just got a pm from a newbie about what it is like to leave all...including your wife or husband....anyway, i spent the day with my wife and we talked about it...it is so sad....even though we are very different in natures...i again concluded there is enough in common to be happy and grow old and avoid the very high costs to both of a divorce....except we just cant figure out how to have totally separate friends and social lives....that is kinda big and may still be the deal breaker....soooooo frustrating and infuriating..........oompa.
here was my reply to the newbie pm:.
leaving was terribly hard as my wife is a wonderful and attractive person...my 22 year old son is also a good dub...and my parents are not real old yet and he is a hardcore elder.

otwo...my subject line is... HAD second thoughts about divorcing...not HAVING
after spending time apart...then a day together.... which seemed to verify things and be part of closure....
i have to be separated for nearly 10 more months anyway so slow is mandatory in some ways...but i am lookin like hell to see what may be....
I told my wife at breakup that i could not take making love to her and afterward...she would get sad at some point and the look i saw in her eyes is "honey i love you so...please come back to jehovah so you are not birdfood soon at armagaddon...you are already dead to me now because we will not be in paradise together"... see if she were looking for a husband I would not be on the top 100 list because I would not even make the list!!...i told her that and of course she could not help but agree
someone else posted that she may look good if we stay together...that she would never remarry due to stigma...but the opposite is true...her friends would ALL have a prob with her getting back with omg...an APOSTATE!!!...she would almost be shunned!!!!..........if she divorces..the she was so faithful to da org that she will be highly looked up to and a great catch
and thanks for all the PM's....geeze there a lot of people in the same boat..........oompa

Wow...lots of good material here guys and thanks! But let me clarify a few things...I care very deeply for my wife and can says she is a "wonderful woman"...that just does not seem to be the same as really being in love...a lady friend of mine told me her husband is a "great guy" and i nearly shuddered because i related to the description...I still love my wife on some level...but do not feel the passion anymore. can people stay married without the passion in their marriage? Absolutely! MANY couples are married for many different reasons other than deep love and passion....kids, money, insurance, convenience, too painful to move on etc. I could prob sit tight for just overall convenience ....and pretend some things are better than they are...but twice in the past three years i have gotten to know other women and can tell that there is a good chance at finding something I really want to feel in my life...to be with someone I can really see myself happy dying with. I don't know why, but I always seem to have had way too many really close women as my friends rather than guy friends...hey I REALLY love women so fault me for that if you must. Funny but there are enough women on this board that I have talked to over the years to verify what i just wrote!!...Mouthy want me bad!
I think I will do another thread on being in love vs. loving someone...
But there comes a time in life....often near middle age for most people, and ESP if a jw and feel most of your life has been a waste...that you realize you only have maybe ten REALY good years left...I can handle the 50's but beyond that I hope i go in the saddle at an earlier age...I so hate nursing homes, assisted living...the smell....shoot me! Anyway, so you stop and think how you have lived your entire life for others....your parents, your kids, teachers, bosses, mates, elders!!!!...and you stop and evaluate and decide to be true to yourself for the first time in your life!!!!....you want find true happiness...whatever that is!
I am a very passionate person...about life...love...music...you name it...i want to be with someone who is passionate for SOMETHING besides Jehovah and his Earthly Organization (barf)!!!....and them having passion for me would be kinda nice too!!! The pain and monetary cost of my decision are staggering....but right now I think i am going to be true to myself....oompa......thanks again all

I think i have hurt the marriage so much by being a ragin vocal apostate for three or four years....and no she will likely NEVER wake up....all my efforts have driven her closer and deeper into the org....and us very much apart....her turning me into the elders twice was a nightmare!!......my feelings for her have changed journey on..............i can tell a huge difference and do not think i can get it back........
