Not long at all - definitely DUMP HIM. It's not worth the pain (physical, mental, emotional) for you to keep clinging to the hope that "he'll change."

Just my 2 cents...

JW Catch Phrases

what are some of your favorite jw catch phrases?.

"food at the proper time".

"spiritualy weak".

Michael3000

Enjoying the "gift" of singleness (ugh)

"appointed time" (take yer pick: 1899, 1914, 1925, 1957, 1975 - oh, you get the idea)

"reaching out" (kinda like 'grasping at straws'?)

"spiritual giant" (OK - this one was usually delivered with a heapin' helpin' of sarcasm, during my Bethel days, of course). Conversely, "spiritual midget". Another one in this same vein was "Serving where his/her need is great"

very few people, if any, respond to it.

i remember when i first wrote my life story on this website and only one person responded to it.

i remember getting really pissed off.

Nah - there are a LOT of threads to plow through, and we can't possibly respond to all. No hard feelings, just a logistical thingy...

JWs in Movies/TV

just watched an episode of 80s sitcom 'married with children', al & peggy get mixed up with a gay couple, fairly funny stuff!

anyhoo.... there's a neat scene were al, answering his front door, says to himself 'i hope it's a jw cuz i feel like a nice deep chat' (or something like that) & he picks up a baseball bat as he opens the door!!

like i said, fairly funny stuff, but it got me thinking: what other tv shows/movies feature scenes with (or ref to) jws???

Michael3000

izobcenec, I was gonna reply with "Friday", too! LOL! That scene is HILARIOUS - the woman doing all the talking used to play Aunt Esther on "Sanford & Son". Sadly, she passed away in the last year.

To the US Military

there have been many postings regarding the possible war with iraq.

there are many strong apposing views, as to be expected.. i personally am going to thank all those who are in the military; my hat is off to you, and i respect what you do, and i am very thankful.

you are the ones that must go out there and defend our freedoms.. i don't think most people desire war, but sometimes there seems to be little choice.
