  Maybe I didnt clarify correctly ... With everything described in the book, its normal to want all 5 (...just not with the same intensity). In my case, "acts of service" isnt one of the top ones for me. If my laundry gets folded for me, I appreciate it....but dang, I do it all the time for him so whats the big deal?

  When I made lunch yesterday, I appreciated that he stepped away from the game and sat at the dining room table to eat with me (quality time). But it didnt really give me the warm and fuzzies.

  If you feel equally passionate about all 5, I'd say (IMHO of course)....you may be a bit needy and high maintenance and i'm glad I'm not married to ya. LMAO

  Ft. Lauderdale (Griffin Rd.) Assembly Hall

  i'm a little shocked they would go this far, then again jehovah's quickening the pace...?

  i was at my last day of the spanish 2-day circuit assembly when they went over the announcements, one of them the economic report.

  it did start off good (for them) mentioning last assembly's (district i assume) actual surplus after the operation costs were taken care of.

  OMG, I helped build that assembly hall when I was a kid. The one with the pictures on the walls and the little pond out front?

  The circuit overseer at the time had a little room that had drums and guitars in it (they lived on the premises but I cant remember their names...it was early 80's). We used to have sing-alongs/get togethers there all the time.

  Voices: Chances are your mate fits one category the most, with another as a close second. Chances are the other ones do not matter so much to them. It mainly has to do with how they perceive love and affection. One person may crave compliments, so that is how they perceive everybody is.... when in fact, their mate may not care at all about compliments but feels the most love when his laundry is folded.

  I think its very accurate. My husband read it first, and then I did. He did things for me that he himself would appreciate (acts of service)...unfortunately, those are things that I thought he shouldve been doing anyway. And if I gave him a compliment and wondered why it meant nothing to him, I felt discouraged, especially when he wouldnt reciprocate.

  It was very eye opening, and helped us to understand each other better. We get along really well now. If I'm ever feeling like Im not getting the attention I need, I say something like "boy I sure could use one of my love languages right now" and he understands and gives me a big hug or compliment. And I try really, really hard to keep the sink and kitchen clean because I know he appreciates it.

  Best wishes

  What happens to your records if you disappear?

  i lived in another state for awhile, and i'm not sure if my father or congregation had my records sent to a hall near my apartment, despite the fact that i never went to a kh there.

  what happens to your records if you are truly inactive and most members dont even know who you are?

  do the records get sent to bethel?

  Well, I was reproved when I was 17...so I guess I had a committe. Dont remember much about it other than being told that 'I wouldve been stoned to death in the old days' so I should be grateful for the public humiliation announcement instead. THAT is when my fade began...almost 15 years ago. So dont worry about it you say? Yeah, well, THEN I went and married a jw and we're going through his fade and an elder told ME that if I celebrate holidays openly (which I do but havent been 'caught') then 'action' will need to be taken.

  I wonder if they'll go through all the trouble to find the congregation, or get them from Bethel.

  Ohhh, so my dad probably would not have requested to have them sent over? They'd have to be requested by my new congregation?

  Im just confused and would like to know where the heck my records are without raising suspicion. There are a possible 3 Kh's they could be at.

  Does Bethel get copies of all records?

Is there any true way to make your records disappear?

  Nugget, good suggestion. Exwhyzee: I know it sounds fine. ugh. Point is, Im so annoyed. I dont want to be politically correct and protect their behavior. I cannot tell my jw's that I'm telling people I'm busy. Granted, I'm REALLY busy....but the core of the matter is that I'm being shunned and I'm doing the best to be an awesome person. However, I LOVE your last sentence and I will do that right this minute.

  Palmtree : my antisocial self is doin pretty darn good thanks. I miss you and miss hearing from you This may be a good or a bad thing, but you're one of the lucky ones I trust very much!!!
