"yes he does love me....it's just a bad time now with the kids and all...and money...he doesn't love her anymore, it just the kids....he said we can keep meeting at $40 hotels for "awhile" longer....till he sorts things out...and we can be together.".
this could be 1955 or 2011 and dumb girls still fall for this crap????
for real????
Every situation is not unique, and every situation is not the same, to claim either is to generalise, and "He who generalise, generally lies !"
I agree though that your average mistress must be a bit of a Cogitive Dissonance sufferer, the form is not good for such relationships. Sometimes it sort of works, but the couple never seem to be as relaxed and confident in eachother as a couple who have no guilt.
i wanted to get this down in type before the thought is lost.. this afternoon, i gave two hours of my time to help a local charity raise money by packing groceries in a supermarket.
the charity provide support to families who have a child affected by a disability that, well, let's just say it's close to my heart.
as i drove the twenty minute journey to the supermarket in question, i struggled with some feelings which i understand are part of something called dissociative disorder, sometimes experienced as part of post traumatic stress disorder.
Well done Mickey ! It is therapeutic to volunteer, I have done a fair bit of late, and all my fellow volunteers have been such lovely people too, and great fun !
And the generosity of the British public is wonderful to behold ! you can tell that for many they are giving the "widows mite",
(small value coin, not her little child !) they are not well off people, but ordinary folk who are just good, caring, giving people.
I hope your life settles down soon, to a routine of doing what makes you feel good, which I know will, in turn, benefit others.
Mickey , I've P.M'd you.
this press release on steven unthank's website yesterday is worth a read .
it's a fuller version .

There's lies, damned lies, statistics, and WT lies.
Oh my, what a whopper !
soooo many witnesses that i knew of had great potential to be somebody, to do something in their lives and instead, they simply existed in a way of life that never really ever gave them back anything in return.
so sad, when you think of the waste!.
Yes.
Unless your full potential happens to be ending up as a member of a high-control and mind -controlling cult that does all your thinking and information gathering for you. There probably are some who would never have made it to a higher plane.

If we make a contribution now, we are merely standing on the shoulders of giants.
I agree too, that the religion has morphed so much from the late 90's till now that even to reason with the old guard who have been in it since God was a boy, it is impossible to get them to consider the ludicrous claims about 1919 etc. They have had more than a decade of practicing the relgion based on blind faith alone, no proof or facts to back it up, and those that have come in, or grown up in it, since the mid 90's, have always done it on blind faith.
my top tip.. jehovah's witnesses.
stay in your cult by shunning those that disagree with your leaders from brooklyn.. or.
shoe express customers.
I like Billy Connoly's tips for old guys like me :
1) Never pass up the opportunity for a pee.
2) Never trust a fart.
3) If you do ever get an erection, use it !
a f/b friend just posted this link .
which makes some interesting claims .
so i thought i'd share.. some here at jwn have an extensive knowledge of early christianity .
Thanks Leo, your comments are always informative, and concise, though usually, as you are explaining things to us mere mortals, you are forced to be alittle more expansive than on this occasion. B.S indeed.
greetings, thesheppard!.
i recently saw your post on this thread about your experiences in bethel with the gb members.. you finished your experiences with this:.
anyways, for what it's worth, those are the experiences i personally had.
What is a "Sheppard" ???

Never stick your todger in a wasp's nest.
my turn on the soapbox.. .
well friends ive just gotton home from the special edition meeting, care of the enthusiastic circus overseer and what a great moral lesson his talk was tonight.. .
do you want to be a guest in god's tent?.
Exactly Cedars, even when I was a practising JW I used to laugh at how they were told to think, from Rutherfords time, that the world gave a flying f**k about them and their religion.
My son tells me that in his fairly small circle of friends , there is a majority who have never heard of JW's , and this after over 100 years of preaching in this area !
And when I say never heard of, I mean they don't have a clue who you are talking about.
JW's don't have to lie to cover up about their real selves, they are not on the radar !
