  Are YOU a Better Person Now That You're Out of the Organization?

  they say that you're like a dog returning to its own vomit.

  do you think that you're a better person now than you were as a witness?

  I am working on being a better person now that I am outside of the wt. I am usually content in whatever sitiuation I am in. I was fairly happy as a dub but when I started to find out all the lies we were told & started to look at the examples on the assembly programs they used. My eyes started to open and pull back the veil to reveal the real "truth." They didn't have it. Now I can be tolerant of all I meet without having to feel like I was superior to them. I have my weekends mostly free of bothering others at their homes with something most of them don't want to hear. It is refreshing to breathe the air of freedom from mind control, isn't it? Now, I really can concentrate on getting my life together without my mate. That is what I am really doing most of the time now.

  What is the Firmament?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in genesis the firmament is first mentioned.. god said, "let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

  and god made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

  and god called the firmament heaven.

  I love inkling's explaination and visual. The dictionary says it is an arch of the heavens; sky. Other translations say sky or arch or heavens. I kept the Bible in 26 translations in the divorce. One day I will revisit the Bible. Just not now.

  We were hippies. He moved into the house I was living in the rent a room. He worked in a Health food store. Had wonderful long, dark curly hair and sparkly green eyes, with such curious ideas about love. That was so many years ago it is hard to really remember since we were always stoned. It was the seventies. What can I say? Don't think it will be the same with the next one I meet.

  heard this on the tv tonight that married people live 9 years longer than single people.

  another reason to be pissed at my ex for divorcing me.

  oh well, he is left handed and they live less time than right handers.

  Farkel, it is a new divorce after over 35 years and more together counting the time we lived together before we married. I love left handed people they are very creative and I have had many as friends. No, it doesn't make me feel better, I just wanted to say something mean. He doesn't come on here anymore but his new woman is a member. I am working through the pain of being alone for the first time in my life. I don't like it. I miss having someone to talk to and not just tell me what I want to hear, like girlfriends tend to do. How long did it take to get over the sadness. I know it is different for men they can just shut off that in their brains but I am having real problems. I want to be friends with him and maybe someday that will happen but right now it isn't possible since I am wounded.

  They weren't real friends and the religion told them not to contact you after you left. Out of sight out of mind. I had a former bible student tell me even if I was df'd she would still be friends with me. She never called me after one phone call. So much for that.

  Thank you all for your comments. I hope you are right about the woman living longer if single. Since that is my state of being now and looks like it will remain so since I can't seem to meet new people. It will take time to get out and meet others of common interests but I will work on it. As far as the financial stuff goes I made out okay in the divorce, getting half of our business money and half the house money and a new Toyota Avalon, I have two retirement accounts and some saving that should take me through my remaining years with a small job to add to it with insurance. My mental state right now is just not that good. I am finding it difficult to live without him. No chance of getting back together since he all ready had a new woman living with him in my old house.

  Yes, birthday cake is always good. Orangefatcat said it and we know she couldn't be wrong. Did anyone say anything about Carrot cake? German Chocolate cake, and then don't forget pie or cheesecake.

  Wish I was still married to my ex but he has a new life with someone he moved into my old house, so that isn't going to happen. I am learning how to live alone even if I don't want to.
