Well, first of all is it really necessary for you to DA. Just fade away with your children. Why leave under their rules. Allow your wife the time to wake up and smell the coffee. It is difficult for some to just leave. I used the bible to show my husband the societies inaccurate teachings. I would just read him a scripture that was obvious and then say what do you think that means. He came to the realization on his own... with a little nudging of course from me. If she chooses to stay that doesn't mean your marriage can't survive. Though it will be difficult you both will have to give eachother space.

Are people born hamsexual?
by SixofNine inare people born with a desire to be with the other white meat?
why would a person choose that path when it leads to criticism, hatred, alienation, high cholesterol etc.
why wouldn't they just be normal if they could.

I love this post! It is very funny. I would say you must choose to be hambisexual or not. One would not be born to love it. It would have been introduced to you as a child and you would either like it or not. We are no longer under the old law so you may it if you so like it.

I didn't realize that if you had sex with your spouse after they had an affair that you can't divorce him/her. That is crazy!

Those are very nice. I remember when I was pregnant over 20 years ago I wouldn't let anyone take a picture of me. I think there are like two snapshots of me in two pregnancies. I was very self concious and felt I looked huge and fat. The funny thing is, I am twenty pounds heavier now than I was at nine months pregnant. At my delivery the most I weighed is 142lbs. I am 5'5 so I guess that wasn't too bad. Now, I am fat I was so young then. You look really happy and radiant in your pictures, I wish I could of been more happy with my body back then. Oh, well!

As much as I don't like the No blood doctrine. If your husband has made his wished clear you would be violating him if you forced him to take blood. It is HIS decision not YOURS. You cannot force him into it. We live in the US where we do have rights (even though the government is taking them away little by little) Now if it were your children that is another story but he can choose what is done with his own body.

For Christians...Is It Just Me or Am I Losing My Mind
by XJW4EVR ini just ended a three week sabbatical from attending my usual christian fellowship.
going back last night, i was struck by just how superficial and shallow the worship service was.
it was almost as if the worship leader was trying to manufacture joy in the believers.

I know what you mean. When I first started attending a non-denominational Christian church. It was a bit uncomfortable with all the singing and the hand raising etc. I was waiting for someone to yell, Lights! Camera! Action. But after I talked with someone about my feelings they just explained theirs. That they were really happy and that they were praising the Lord in that way. I had a different take on it. I can honestly say I do enjoy it now. In fact I now kind of miss it because I have started attending a church that is just starting out and there is only about 20 of us and we meet in a school cafeteria. We sing a couple of songs, while the pastor plays his guitar. I kind of miss the big hoopla, but I feel like this church needs my support and that is where the Lord wants to use me now.

When I visited my husbands parents in October They told me the wife of the Presiding overseer told her husband she was having an affair with her boss and was disfellowshipped. She was miss holier than though aways talking about how other weren't doing what they were suppose to. She never worked outside the home. Her husband started having some health issues and needed to work part-time and look what happened.
