other than feeling "love bombed" when you first started associating with the "brotherhood", did you experience the "love" in your years within the organization?.
if you felt truly loved, was it in reality, a "conditional love"?.
I tried to convince myself that this was the most loving place to be. But over time, I could see that my friends had a come and go love. Some were there, some faded, and never wrote or called. What's worse, some were quick to stab in the back. I believed I deserved that at the time.
Also my family has disappeared. When there were moments that I truly needed them, they were not around.

my boyfriend introduced me to a couple that he has been close to off and on for several years.
i immediately loved the wife, who is cool, outgoing and fun.
we just clicked.
My boyfriend introduced me to a couple that he has been close to off and on for several years. I immediately loved the wife, who is cool, outgoing and fun. We just clicked. Shortly after I met them, my BF tells me that the couple is having marriage problems. She has a Facebook accoutnt which is a very sore subject. It is how her and I communicate oftentimes. Supposedly she is texting other men, and chatting online via Facebook. My BF, who has been the victim of being cheated on thinks that Facebook is for cheaters. At first I dumped my account in lieu of his feelings about it. Then I discovered that I am nothing like his ex wife. I reopened it. Some people use networking paged to cheat, I use mine to connect to my friends. He has seen my page, and has my password. Still, he is concerned.
My point is, and I pointed this out to my BF, that if our friend is looking to cheat, she's going to do it. She doesn't need a social networking page or a cellphone. It will be the PTA, her job, or even at her church. She will find what she is looking for. If removing the page would overcome her marital problems, then by all means, do it, to restore trust and faith. But I think their problems are deeper than just the internet or a cellphone.
Just so you know, I did start to back off from my friendship with her. He gets really mad when I say that I have talked to her. I wish he wouldn't have introduced them to me. But I do begrudge the inuendo that Facebook people are cheaters. Your thoughts?
i find it interesting that i posted about 16 days ago concerning whether i should write a letter and.
allow my ex wife to be free and marry.. saturday night she called out of the blue ( maybe there is a god upthere looking down) after 3 years of not talking to her and she wants to meets.. we met last night and after small talk about how we are both doing and family stuff, she asked me if i would write a letter.
freeing her or releasing her from our marriage without admitting adultery, since i don't believe in the bible anymore,.
IDRNOMO: Your counsel is the best on this thread!
I do agree that your wife (ex) may be looking for an opportunity to remarry. She will come out smelling like a rose, and you will be the family poophead, once again. I don't know how your kids will take you writing or not writing the letter. If you do write it, you are almost writing them off. At least that is the way some youngsters think. Okay, so let's suppose you don't write it. Will your ex wife remarry? Can she hold out, and remain chaste, without the letter? If she marries anyways, is she liable for the same scrutiny that you were under? I think time always gives clarity. Give it time, sort it out. It's been three years. What's a few more weeks of mulling it over? Personally, I wouldn't do it.
old friend of mine od'ed today.. such a waste..
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you some love.
I have watched so much of the news in the last week, that I am burned out. Plus, we just lost a friend over the weekend to a heart attack. He was only 36. I think that is on my mind more lately.
I don't think it's a desire of mine anymore. But I do not want to die when I am 35 either.
i have a few that i remember that were interesting.
of course, those that i supposedly helped.. but i also remember one man at an apartment.
i started to talk about the universe, and how the planets are aligned perfectly, and the earth is the perfect distance from the sun to support life.
Being a devout JW pioneer meant wearing the long flowing skirt with the sexiness of a housecoat for us sisters. So on a windy day in April, I went in door to door work in what appeared to be the territory with landscape resmbling the plains of Nebraska. My skirt inevitably flew up OVER my head. I spinned trying to get untangled in the gauzy fabric. But the damage was done; My 17 year old twiggy shaped ass graced it's presence to the entire cargroup of teenage boys, and my 72 year old male householder. On the bright side, I placed magazines. On the down side, I never went back.
howdy!.
every now and again, i get anxious.
to help with the anxiousness, i will unintentionally develop a habit.
I get rammy when I am nervous. I can't walk without tripping, things break, and I look like a flipping drunk.
so i am reading my new favorite book "i'm perfect, you're doomed" and the flashbacks have started.
this book is like my childhood all over again.
anywho, it reminded me of the horror stories my parents would create.
iamcleared: Just read your story, and I think it is amazing that you are so well adjusted. Very sad. You are right that we all have stories. Some are just worse than others.
