  If you lived in/near Chicago area, I'd have a great sofa to sell you.

  I was told Ashley Furniture sells great quality items at an inexpensive price. You could also look on Craigslist, but be careful of the scammers. Do in-person transactions only! Have you ever been to World Market? Great stuff at a low cost.

  I think the best places to buy plants are grocery stores and garden stores. Just don't leave the plants in the cheap plastic containers. Either replant them (buy a bag of soil) with some small rocks at the bottom if pot does not have drainage, or make sure the plastic containers can be hidden in new pots. Whatever you do, be sure to remove the plastic flim wrap that many plants come in.

  Excellent YouTube video for those raised in JW home (or any dogmatic faith)

  there are some really intelligent videos from users, qualiasoup, and his brother, theramintrees, on youtube.

  this one tells an analogous story that deals with being raised in a religiously dogmatic household..... http://www.youtube.com/user/theramintrees#p/u/0/kaiprrzvnjg.

  Im finally leaving my jw husband.

  by littlebird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some of you know i have struggled with this for awhile.

  i really do believe in marriage and the committment, however, sometimes enough is enough.. his endless preaching at me and calling me and my (adult) children satan has me realizing that this situation is not going to get better.

  the other day he kicked my son out of the house for wearing a cap, in his car, with a skull on it.

  If you meet a new guy, be sure not to let your ex-husband find out for a loooong time. Let him enjoy the"Joy of Singleness" for a while.

  My prayers are with you, but I'm sure you'll be fine! Give it a few months.

  Hey Wannabefree! Is this a joke?

  Do you really think that young people that are baptized "exhibit a mature understanding of their faith"????!!!I was there . . . . we born-in's are kept in a deceitful bubble. We do what we are told by our parents, and want to be accepted by the only humans we are allowed to be in contact with, the JDubs.

  Also, the door to door 1930's style of preaching work is "personal" because you never end up talking to an actual "householder". It's just you and your JDub buddy gossiping about everyone in the congregation, and then it's off to McDonald's for your "coffee break". This kind of lifesaving work is comparable to that of Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet, The Red Cross, and every volunteer of Doctors Without Borders, but better.
