i was just wondering i have a friend who is getting divorced.
she is 32yrs old and has 4 children ranging from 10 yrs old to 18 mths old and i wonder if she can ever really date again?
she's a really pretty woman but still i wonder.
Sounds like mrs P when we met, though she only had 3 children.
There are no rules. Weve been together for 15 years. No regrets. I love my step children as much as my own, and they me.
Life is wonderful.
We have often said that our past lives, before we met, seem now but as a dream; as if we are spectators watching another, different couple.
JLP.
actually forgot about it.
could someone post a link to the thread with the outline?
just in case my mother asks...
"Forgot about the special talk"
Well thats about the best thing you could do with it.
i'm reading through the watchtower rule book right now and i came to the chapter clarification and guidelines on handling certain matters.
there is a part about scriptural divorce and even if adultery is not proved if your ex stayed all night or is involved in an immoral sleeping arrangement you can get scriptural grounds to remarry.. .
they make a rule, then they have to make a rule for the rule, make another rule for the rule for the rule.
I once shared a hotel room with my daughter and sister in law.
I guess thats hard proof that once disfellowshipped, one just becomes a wicked,
incestuous, sex feind, with no control over ones satanic driven fleshly desires.
hi guys and gals!.
i want to write a sequel (or a prequel) for the armageddon diaries short story - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/diary-of-an-armageddon-survivor/.

Interesting version.
I prefer this one personally.

Strange, I was just thinking of this story, only this afternoon. Good read for those who dont know it yet.

"you can have scriptural grounds to remarry".
just making up a get out clause, in a desperate bid to hang on to a few more "faithful"
just had a sick conversation with my jw father when picking up by kid.
dad: so things looking really bad in n korea huh?.
they rattle the cage every few years and everyone seems to just appease them.. dad: yeah, but this new guy, i mean he is just sounds plain crazy.
my mother was the same in 1962, with the cuba crisis.
if i remember correctly there were more than 100 million books distributed around the world in the the 1960`s.. and if i remember correctly it was listed amongst the ten most distributed/published books by the guiness book of records .. and if i`m not mistaken "paradise lost to paradise regained" was also on this list.
and even in one year about that time their were no less than four of the societys publications on the 10 most distributed books ever.
at that time.. how much of what was printed in those publications then, is relevant to what is beleived today.
but how many people actually read it?

when i was a dub i was petrified of displeasing the trademark imaginary god that the wbt$ had invented.
i feared that kind of death.. the thought of being unconscious totally forevermore seems so weird.. now that i know the wbt$ was lying (as usual), and i realise there can't possibly be a god as described in religion i am now faced with the reality that i'll be dead and gone with nothing to carry me on after in a conscious way.
just because i don't want this to happen doesn't mean it won't.. oh, darn!
I think about this all the time. not in a morbid way though. Thank god we got out of that horrible,life wasting religion when we did.
On another note, someone once made me think that we all are reabsorbed by this good earth beneath our feet. one day, i'll become part and parcel of this planet. In a way, i'll be reunited with my dad,my daughter,and others that I loved so much. This thought kind of comforts me in the face of the inevitable.
In the meantime........enjoy.
it was last year at easter time that i had a big insight that still looms large with me.
my elderly mother was living with me and she had been suffering from dementia.
i was taken aback why this one elder would come over once a month to try to get my mom to come up with 15 minutes of fs.
sorry to hear about your mum roberta. funny, but I now find myself in exactly the same position.no one but no one from this ''loving'' religion comes to see my aged lonely mum.I thought that at least when they heard of her early stage of illness, that they would come and comfort her. One ''brother'' does come to take her out on a mag route, once a month. How kind.
