  i'm rather down today, feeling like my relationship with husband is sad, we don't have anything in common anymore.

  i'm feeling outmoded, old and lonely.

  just verbalizing what i can't say to anyone else.. .

  finally awake-I love cupcakes! White ones with vanilla frosting. I'll put the coffee on!

  Lozhasleft-Sorry I didn't comment more on your post, I have people lurking around me who would be really upset to know I'm on this site, so caution is the order of the day. I do have Hassans book, hidden, so hubby won't find it. He is a good man, but he seems to have revved up his religious convictions as mine have totally disappeared, this is annoying, because he was rather complacent for many years. It is only after I've come to my senses that he has become a zealot! He is 3rd gen. and has family all over who are indoctrinated.

  SixoNine-You made laugh!

  baltar447-Thanks for the hug!

  N.drew-Thank you, maybe I'll start spring cleaning! 'Outmoded' I got from the "Robots" animated film.

  I Want to Believe-Thank you for the good vibes, they are just as good, if not better, than a prayer!

  LozhasLeft-You brought tears to my eyes, thank you for your kindness and words of comfort!

  Thank you all!!

  The gal I'm dating frequents match.com - advice?

  by UnConfused in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i am dating a gal that i met on match.com - we saw each other first last summer, but she didn't think we were a 'match'.

  after the "pressure" was off we started hanging out quite a bit with all the benefits that go along with it.

  this went on for months.. i became smitten with her, but we weren't a couple, which she pointed out a couple of times.

  Maybe you need to get your profile back on Match, if sees you are looking too, it may make her take stock of herself and your relationship. Or...it could kill your relationship.

  I can't remember the 'Most Important Date of My Life!' Can you?

  by Diest in

  2. friends

  i honestly cant remember the exact date when i was baptized.

  it does not bother me one bit.

  i didnt have it stamped in that shitty reasoning book/babel that i got at the time, so i guess the only place i could find it would be my cards, which are far away..

  Sometime in the fall of 1982, I was 18. Didn't want too, but Dad threatened not to go to my wedding if I didn't. My baptism was obviously not heartfelt. Still isnt'.

  Has Anyone Been Present When a Dissident Spoke in KH?

  by Band on the Run in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know some dissatisified members have planned to "throw caution to the wind" when they exit and break the news as a stunning revelation of lies.

  some of my funniest memories were of teachers and others terminated but since they had to finish their contract, they decided to share their insights and horrors.

  in normal life, there is a certain allowance made under the circumstances.

  Help! Strange request for info I heard in a Recorded (gasp!) Talk.

  by PaintedToeNail in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard a recording of a talk by a bro.

  who's topic was something to the effect of 'coincidences in the history of wtbts and jehovah's direction'.

  i believe it was an american bro., who claimed that a woman who owned a mansion in atlanta, at the time of general sherman's march to the sea, and subsequent burning of atlanta, had her mansion saved.

  jwfacts-you are very correct. He does agree with me on lots of things, but still insists that it is the 'Truth', no matter what, who or how. It is very absurd!

  Leolaia-Thanks! You definitel are a researcher extraordinare! I read portions of the Berta & Bonnie thread, but it seemed to be the wrong time period. Most likely, the person giving the talk was just spouting off something he was told, and as JW's, all trust what is told, with nothing to back it up.

  Thanks again!

  Some Witnesses Seem To Relish Bad News

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it may be just my imagination,but sometimes i think witnesses get overly excited when a natural disaster or some violent event happens.

  i guess they feel it proves their point on how awful things are.. my mother seems to be this way.

  she seemed elated to tell me about a couple shootings that took place in our city today.

  diamond-I sure they didn't know what they were talking about. But, unfortunately, it sounds so wonderful to those still 'in' and spouse keeps using this example as proof of God being with the 'org'. I just wish I could remember the blasted woman's name! What I found is that more places than what was indicated by this 'bro.' survived the march, but whole neighborhoods were wiped out by Sherman.
