my ex husband has been spending a lot of time in my company, and i always use the opportunity to throw another quandary his way.
- when i start, he usually puts his hands to his face and says ohhhh not this again.
- i say why are you so afraid, im only asking you a question or offering a fact.. when he does listen to an argument i offer, most of the responses are just clutching at straws.
Nice to meet you too Creativ !!
hey i have a question, im not sure on the rules of the forum or anything, but my id like to get my fiance on here to read other people opinions and expereinces with the hope she could then have a better understanding of where i am coming from especially the factthat i still cant forgive my parents, would y'all be ok with that? shes not a witness nor has she ever been brainwashed by them. lol
since the meaning of life has change for most of us here, i thought it would be interesting to hear your answer to this question now.. for me, the meaning is to be close to family and friends, enjoy life as much as possible and follow my heart while being as good person i can be.. your turn.

i am a firm believer that BLOOD is thicker than anything ESPECIALLY RELIGION !!! I dont care what my kids might do wrong or right, i will be there for them no matter what. Its what family is for, to be there for you when no one else will be.

haha. its great to meet all of you as well, and its ok about the wedding gift, my future wife actually knows the proper uses for one. haha. and you are very welcome, i serve because I want to , and because I can. Although i will never have my fathers approval(something all sons long for) having the approval and the thanks that i have recieved over the last 5 years from soo soo many that i dont even know, has really helped to fill that void.
So is anyone here from OK ??

I most definitely didnt go to my J-C, so instead the BOE came to me. I had faded away from the meetings quite a bit after me and my exwife had seperated and gotten into alot of things im not proud of. But after all i was 19 and it was my life. So one saturday AM, its about 930 i believe from my bedroom upstairs i hear the doorbell, now i lived with two roommates (neither JW's) and my girlfriend at the time was crashed out in bed with me, because we had had a huge house party at our place the night before. Anyway i knew who it was, so i walked downstairs and on the way throguh the kitchen grabbed a half finished bottle of Bacardi and answered the door. staring back at me were two elders (one who was like a father to me) who had come to find out why i had been missing meetings. so long story short, i pulled out a cigerette(id been smoking for some time) and had them sit down on the porch with me and after telling them that i was leaving for USMC bootcamp in 3 days, they of course called 2 more elders (both who i knew very well) and the 5 of us pretty much had my JCM right there on my front porch which consisted of me telling them the things i had been doing, and making it very clear to them that i enjoyed my life the way it was and that i was not sorry for any of my actions. 2 days later i left for SD to go to bootcamp, and the following day at the tuesday night meeting they announced my DF'ing.
on another note, has anyone ever had any issues with elders literally stalking you, at the time i was bartending and on my nights off i would of course go back to the bar to hang out and drink, on 3 seperate occasions that i can remember i caught the elders parked across the street sitting in their car. haha. i thought it was quite funny, that they were trying to get dirt on me, but since i never went to the KH, they couldnt talk to me about what they had seen. just curious about others experiences, although our elders were pretty shady.. and that includes my father who until both of his children, me and my sister(who is reinstated now, and hangs around just for the family ties) turned away from the "truth", they asked his to resign. Who knows hes probably back to being one now.
anyway, its very nice to meet you all, ive been reading the boards now for a few days and havent really said much or introduced myself, so i thought i would say hello. Im Jonathan, born and raised JW for 18 years, now im not against religion, just really not sure what to think or believe ya know.. i do have faith.. but there are so many teaching out there..
and im sorry if me being a Marine is offending to some of you, i know its not exactly something that we were ever taught was ok, but regardless, i wouldnt have changed a thing. My life is wonderful just the way it is, im actually getting married in 25 days , NO shes not a JW.. ahhaha the last JW wife i had came after me with a kitchen knife cause she went crazy, aint going through that again. lol
anyway, its very nice to meet you all and feel free to hit me up.
