and i'm so scared.
but, excited at the same time.
for those of you who don't know, i'm leaving my husband.
Thanks everyone.
Scott77: Lol. I was half joking. I probably won't change my username. Though it may seem fitting, I don't plan on being single for the rest of my life. If I get married in a few years then I'd feel like I'd have to change it again so I might as well keep the one I got.

ok - i couldn't keep away from this board - but i lasted longer than a week (outlaw!).
here i am sitting in the sun on a beautiful sunday afternoon drinking beer catching up with the posts on this board.
i just had to write a message to anyone still attending meetings, despite knowing that they are a forum to propagate lies and deceit.
I quite cold turkey too. It was best for me. Don't have any regrets about not doing a slow fade.
it's been a while since i've posted because i've been so busy looking for a full-time job so that i could leave my husband.
well, i've finally got one today.
actually, it's the same job i've had for about a year but someone else just put in their notice to quit so my manager finally gave me full-time status.
Lozhasleft: Thanks. Thought I do want to clear up that he's not physically abusive, but he is emotionally. I just don't want anyone to think he's done something that he hasn't. I'm glad things are going good for you.
i've always been told that i have a very good personality, that i'm humorous, etc.. one elder called me over and said that i was "smiling too much".
the other elders talked to the elder who counseled me and he came back to say that i should be like i was .
.
When my husband and I were dating, we got counseled several times for not having an officially designated chaperone at the kingdon hall. I mean, seriously, do they think we were going to have sex right there in from of everyone in the kingdom hall just because there wasn't an official chaperone?

jamiebowers: Thanks for the advise. I know we've talked before about what I should do. I'll have my cousin with me.
Gregor: I won't pick up the smoking habit. My cousin has already told me she would kill me if I did. lol
independent_tre: Exactly! It's so nice to have someone understand that feeling. No non-cult survivor would understand if I tried to explain it.
beksbks: Aw. Reading that I made you cry made me tear up too.
mentallyfree31: Thanks.

snowbird: Thanks. I know, you're right. When I read my comment you highlighted, I realized that I used to give the same excuse as to why I never commented at meetings.

snowbird: Thanks.
Mad Sweeney: Thanks. I read more on here than I post. It's hard coming up with my own unique reply on other people's threads. Everyone else has such good comments. I don't feel like I have much to contribute.

leavingwt: Thanks.
Lady Liberty: I know. I'm so realived that I don't have to change jobs. Thanks.
etna: Thanks. I don't talk to jws anymore. I only have to worry about my family being nosy.
palmtree67: Thanks. "Why is it always in terms of black and white??" Because it's a cult!
jamiebowers: Thanks. "You know how to leave, right?" Not really. I was kind of freaking out last night because I don't really know the next step to take. But, my cousin is back in town and she's been through a divorce and knows what to do. She's been helping me out a lot. "And you know your husband, his family and probably yours along with the elders will hound you about a "scriptural" divorce, right?" Yes, I know.
cyberjesus:
peaches, Black Sheep, and penny2: Thanks.
