My best friend is female. We've been friends for a long time and my wife has no problem with me spending time with her or talking on the phone with her for as long as I want. She also has a best friend that is male and the same applies for her. I have no problems with it. Trust is a big key to a happy marriage.

for married people only
by teejay inthere's a running debate i have going with my wife.
i have the opinion that it is very possible for married people to have friends of the opposite sex without the idea of a sexual encounter entering into the picture.
she disagrees, saying that once you're married, the marriage mate should be enough to offer you all you need in the way of companionship, conversation,etc.. let's say you're running an errand at the mall and happen to see someone of the opposite sex that you have known for years (your mate knows/doesn't know them... doesn't matter) and you decide to grab a cup of coffee and have a two-hour chat.

Family About to Disown Me
by Moridin inwell i finally got the guts to tell my mother that i had enlisted in the army.
she didn't say a whole lot to me, but she did tell my sister she was calling the elders and that when i was df'd she would have nothing to do with me.
i can't say that it suprises me too much, but i was hoping for more of an adult reaction.

I too believe that she'll start to really respect my decision after a little while, I'm just glad that she isn't going to disown me over it. Eyebrow, your question about my wife, she is not a JW and never was one nor had any relatives that are or were. So some of the things she sees going on upsets her because she doesn't understand the background enough. But my mother likes her a lot and I'm sure everything will be good while I'm gone.

Well I got some news from my mother today that shocked me. She called me up and said that she thought it over and decided that she had been selfish because I was her only son and that she would accept the decision that I made and support it. I was pretty suprised...what a change from the other day.

It's kinda late, but I just got back from my exams. I scored a 79 on the aptitude test which is supposedly very high. So they're offering me a lot of different jobs and opportunities and extra pay. The downside is that they want me bad enough to try and ship me off a few months earlier than expected. I might be leaving in two to three weeks. Oh well I'm almost ready for boot camp. Thanks again to all for the encouragement.

Thanks for all the responses it's really encouraging me. Today my mother informed me that she had told all of my relatives of the decision I had made to join the Army. Of course none of them were very happy. My aunt has made the decision to call the elders instead of my mother. My grandfather and mother are trying to get a hold of my recruitor to tell them I have a slight case of asthma to try and get me disqualified. I let her know how upset and disappointed I would be and how I want this more than anything else. I told her that if I really want this bad enough I will be able to overcome any obstacles I might have. I really hope she just leaves it alone. Well I'm off to take my intelligence test for the Army so I'll post again later.

I'm actually living on my own, well with my wife and child actually. I'm 24 and have a 4 year old daughter. My wife and child will be staying here until I get based. I appreciate all of the comments and hope I can do my best for our country.

Worldy friends vs. JW friends........
by LDH injust thinking out loud here.... when i was 19 and df'd for being pregnant (yes they knew i was repentant but told me i was to be used as an example), i ended up with no friends.. when i was 20, some four months later, and i was reinstated before my daughter was born, i thought for sure everything would be fine.
after all, hadn't i been reinstated?
wasn't i a valued member of the congregation?.

In my congregation I was the son of an elder and very much respected. Always auxilliary pioneering and giving special day talks and convention parts. I drifted away for awhile and then started coming back to the meetings and was treated like dirt. Nobody, not even my closest former "friends" would talk to me. I absolutely despised the conditional love. My new "worldly" friends are the best friends I could have ever recieved supporting me through everything.

Special talk?
by NikL ini was just fowarded this from a faithful dub.

I wonder what kind of talks they had back when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Was the end so close then too? On another point did you notice that they said the King of the South has made the King of the North angry, except further down they say they don't know who the King of the North is.
