  Sorry, pics are only for a private few...I could scan the receipt for my last bra though, $150, they don't sell my size at Wal-Mart.... Also, you would be disappointed in pics....I used to be a 32G....Now I'm a 32LONG..... The girls know what I'm talking about.

  It's my moniker because my real name means "palm tree" in Hebrew.

  "Duplicitous" carries the meaning of being deliberately deceptive. I don't think women have cornered the market on this. I know at times, I am not laying all my cards on the table, so to speak. but it's more because I'm trying to protect myself, than being deliberately deceptive.

  dont guys get disfellowshipped for hitting wives ?

  by looloo in

  2. experiences

  it confused me that my friend was hit and abused by her dull hubby for years and was told by a elder to just put up with it as she was warned not to get involved with him as a teenager (the best way to throw two people together , usually) and she did put up with it for years and finally left him and the religion at the same time , then 8 months later was disfellowshipped for smoking (i thought you could not get disfellowshipped after being inactive for 8 months ) anyway how come hubby was not even told off for hitting his wife but as soon as she had enough and walked and smoked to cope with the stress she was straight out , i think its sexist , anyone know of a guy getting kicked out for domestic violence ?.

  I believe the counsel is that if the woman really feels her life is in danger, then separation is tolerated, but with the warning that you are now opening up yourself and the man for possible relationships with the opposite sex, and we all know where that leads....(insert guilt trip here) With my husband, he was menatlly and emotionally abusive. The counsel was that it would be NICE if he could be nice to me....but it seemed to be mostly optional for him. I mean, it's not like I could leave, if he refused to change, right??.......

  hey guys, havent been here for a while but have you heard that the society is now calling those who leave "the walking dead"?

  i just heard this acouple of days ago but since my mom died i don't have a direct conduit anymore.

  sorry if this has already been discussed.

  UPDATE ON MY BROTHER IN LAW

  by Mary in

  i had done a post back in january about my brother in law who was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/170540/1/does-anyone-know-anything-about-myelodysplastic-syndrome.

  on this thursday past, they got the worst news imaginable: it's turning into leukemia.

  this is not regular leukemia, but what is called acute myelogenous leukemia which is far, far worse than regular leukemia.

  I had a nephew last year ( 8 years old) who had a different kind of leukemia, a rare one for children.

  He was only given the blood components necessary for his specific health needs. And he survived, where many others in the children's ward did not. He was only given a 50% chance of survival originally.

  My heart goes out to you, my wish for your family, is WISDOM to make the best decisions you can, with the information you have, at this time.

  Oh, thank-you, Oompa.

  Yes, I asked myself that before we moved in together. But mostly I asked if I was truly in love with him, because I've known him as a freind for over 10 years. To make that leap, from freindship to love was a scary thing, mentally.

  The "ex" is not my first husband.....just a stupid fling when I was at the lowest point ever in my life. No relationship really. Not worth jeopardizing what I have now, which on every other level has been awesome.

  In spite of the chaos in my life right now, I feel safer and happier than I ever have before. And partly it's from reading what you ALL have to say on this board.

  Thanks everyone.

  Thank you, I know what I want. I know what I need.

  I have deleted him from my facebook, phone and e-mail contacts.

  I feel good about the decision, its the right one.
