What is the one thing you will never give up no matter how hard times get?

with the talk of everyone trying to cut back and reevaluate their necessities due to the rising cost of products from gas to food, what is the one thing that will never go in your life...a "luxury"item that has wound itself so deeply in your soul you would be incomplete without it?.

my item is a daily frapuccino, those little devils are so delish that i can't even think of going a day without.

Hey can we have exhausted dads?

I remember my daughter not sleeping at night and taking her out in the pram in the small hours then going to work after 2- 3 hours sleep i was shattered. She did not go through the night till she was five!! Now she is a lovleey 15 y beautiful young lady who sleeps forever if she can, It was and is worth it

I want someone who gets me and my sometime quirky ways. Who does not mind a big guy crying in a film or when reading a book. A soul mate.

Sex yes, but more passion and romance.

I love humour too, Someone to connect with and be connected to. Who lets me have my solace when i want it. It helps if they are outgoing because i am.

Wife gets in trouble for Lord of the Rings book, Cong. Kids for H. Potter!

by Witness 007 in

my wife went witnessing and happen to go with the c.o's wife and she mentions she has been reading lord of the rings {wife-not in the truth that long} she comes home and tells me how they were "not impressed.

} the c.o came to visit since i had missed the servants meeting due to work.

the elders thought we needed encouragement.

We have seen Harry Potter movies and loved them, how the WTS sees them as a threat baffles me. They are great films and pure emtertainment

Regards David

Glad so many of the kids had seen the film btw

JW's unwritten dress code and personal appearance standards-FROM WHERE?

by Thechickennest in

one thing that always use to puzzle me was the personal appearance standards, espessially for meetings and service.

the men always were expected to where a tie, suit, jacket, etc.

no beards were allowed-mustaches were ok!

llbh

This was a blessing in disguise for me. i had a bad accident years ago and wrecked my elbow thus stopping me wearing a jacket whilst the wound healed. I was stopped from saying prayers beacause of the not wearing a jacket. I told my bs conductor that he was wrong and unkind., resigned from being a ms and planned my fade.

On another note i used to arrange the talks, and whenever possible booked speakers with beards to annoy the local elders, which it did.

When met with the inevitable criticism my response was they are in the organisation too. Childish but fun

Tell Your Story...

by Moxie in

it all started when i found this website jwd.... over the last few months i have for the first time been able to share my experiences as a former jw with others who truly understand.

the warmth, compassion and kindness i have experienced has been the first step in a nine year process of healing since my exit from the religion.

some of you may know that at about the same time i began reading and posting here, that i also began writing my own blog about my experiences.
