My wife blew my mind, Seth Andrews, and more....
by pronomono in
1. jw
2. experiences
so i recently had the opportunity to hear seth andrews speak in person at a local unitarian universalist church.

for those of you who know my past, i've had a bit of a difficult time dealing with the emotional aspects of a fade with a wife that says she believes but doesn't put forth the works that demonstrate that faith.

we've kind of been in a rocky point in our relationship because we've both been afraid to test the waters on where each of us stand.

Bringing children into this System of Things.
by Nihilistic Journey in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.

they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.

is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

2. experiences
first and foremost, thank you so much to so many of you who have reached out to me over the past few days since my post on sunday.

i'm not totally in the best mental state, however, i do have a very small amount of people that i can lean on for support.

i relayed my feelings to a friend (my only friend, really), who took the initiative to inform my family.

from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.

beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
