Rebound Relationships

by onacruse in

i really don't know where to start with this....it's so personal, and i'm so confused.

when i left bethel, i was a basket case, and married my first wife while i was still in mental/emotional limboland.

i loved her from the bottom of my heart (as best i can imagine what that means), and meant what i promised "till death do us part.

I totally can identify with everything you said. Starting new relationships is very difficult. The biggest concern of course is always that when you meet someone who you think could be "the one" there's a little fear involved because you can't predict in the long run, how "true" the other person will be to you.

Feelings are fragile.

Ideally, you want to find a person who won't betray your trust and who will love you back in return. This is easy to say. Women and men who have ever felt neglected or rejected in a relationship where they gave their heart to someone, only to have it trampled on-- can attest to the very real "FEAR" that is involved.

I don't believe in....

Casual romantic insinuations either thru e-mail, or IM

People are not Toys, we all have feelings. A cyber KISS or XOXOXOX or such "sweet talk" can be interpreted to mean more than a "friendly affection." Nothing beats meeting someone in person and developing a relationship that will hopefully grow. Obsessing over cyber "relationships" that cannot be or that are only for "passing time" is CRUEL....

In addition..

whoever has a "real" relationship...really is being dishonest if they persist in having "romantic" themed IM or e-mails from someone of the opposite sex just to boost their ego or because it feeds some weird desire to manipulate others... It is a debased and very low type of "pass time."

Just to be on the safe side, right now,

my heart is mine only... I won't give it away.... It's safe within me....

One, two princes kneel before you
That's what I said now
Princes, princes who adore you
Just go ahead now
One has diamonds in his pockets
That's some bread, now
This one said he wants to buy you rockets
Ain't in his head, now

This one he got a princely racket
That's what I said now
Got some Big Seal upon his jacket
Ain't in his head now
You marry him, your father will condone you
How 'bout that now
You marry me, your father will disown you
He'll eat his hat, now

Marry him, marry me
I'm the one that loved you baby can't you see?
Ain't got no future or family tree
But I know what a prince and lover ought to be
I know what a prince and lover ought be

Said if you want to call me baby
Just go ahead now
And if you like to tell me maybe
Just go ahead now
And if you wanna to buy me flowers
Just go ahead now
And if you like to talk for hours
Just go ahead now

Secrect of your Marriage

by Crystal in

who here has been married...10 years or more?is it a great marriage and what is the secret of keeping it together?

YoursChelbie

Hi Crystal,

Very valid questions you have. I personally think, that if your boyfried says he wants you to have his baby--but doesn't want the "government" involved, he's only deceiving himself. After all, You will have to file for child support "thru the legal system" if he skips out on you.

Having babies is an ---18 year ----commitment on the part of BOTH parents, wether they are officially married or not... Unfortunately, single mothers get the nasty end of the deal...financially because WHEN you get paid ...about 0.75 of every dollar you earn will go to FULL TIME DAYCARE.. This is assuming you don't have a college education...or some big inheritance from a wealthy relative.

Any man who claims to love you AND to want FATHER your yet-unborn child but doesn't want to get married is actually afraid of commitment. But you already knew that.

RUN AWAY FROM THAT ONE.....

Marriage is a natural progression of a growing and blossoming relationship between a man and a woman.... It's not anything to fear... if you are both doing it for the right reasons, namely because you want to love each other and be there for each other for as long as you both live.

worst JW introductions

by sleepy in

jw
friends

what were the worst introductions you remmeber people using on the ministry?

"hello my friend and i....." .

"hello we've been talking to your neighbours, do you think we can ever see a peaceful world?

YoursChelbie

"Good Morning!"

Today we are talking to people about how the world of mankind will be brought to destruction, just like in the days of Noah. Would you like to hop on into our Ark?"

Most JW women are adulterers

by Faraon in

jw
friends

1 corinthians 11:3

but i would have you know, that the head of every man is christ; and the head

of the woman is the man

YoursChelbie

Very interesting Faraon!

I congratulate you on seeing the situation for what it is:

As a side note, I would just like to say that JW MEN are adulterers in the sense that they become obsessively preoccupied with what they perceive to be "a woman" or "god's earthly organization." This of course, gets to the point where they (the jw husbands) actually fail to give their real, human wife "her due" by this I mean the honor and the love that is due as well as everything else.

In such cases, I would think that a wife of a die-hard JW has every right to excercise her freedom to find a more suitable mate. I am experiencing this crossroad in my life and feel perfectly OK with my quest to find someone who will view me as a partner and not as some "domestic -machine" while they go on their 5-date per week affair with the "Other Woman."

Thanks for listening, I needed to vent.

YoursChelbie.
