  Welcome Adjustments, I like your user name. Yes, there certainly was a big change in the wording on the inside cover of Awake. Obviously, the WTS had to stop referring to the ones born in or old enough to reason in 1914 as they were quickly dieing off. Now that nearly 100 years have passed It will be interesting to see how they deal with it. I'll be looking forward to your story.

  i recently broke up with my girlfriend of four years.. she is 40 years old, with health problems, financial problems, little family/friend support, and facing an uncertain future.

  i gave her some money.. the guilt i am experiencing right now is absolutely anguishing.

  she had very, very high hopes about our relationship and loved me very deeply.

  Dear FPOO, I'm sorry you are so full of angst. There was a time when I was totally dependant on my 1st husband of 30 yrs. I was completely unprepared to be on my own. I thought of going back to him because he said he did not want to divorce. We were co-dependent for sure. I told Him that I would not make a decision unless we went to counciling. We went. I was helped to understand that in our case, there was nothing to salvage. Guess what! I survived! Got stronger, remarried, survived horrific events AND left the only belief system I , my parents, and grandparents had ever known. (JW's) It feels GREAT to find out I was so much stronger than I ever thought possible! Please try couples counciling, sort things out, and if you decide to move on, know that she may thank you later! I am so greatful I was dumped 'cause i found someone better!

  What am I going to wear to the AGM?

  to the women out there that have been honoured with an invitation this is the question they ask themself.. .

  i am going to admit one of the reasons i enjoyed the meetings was getting to dress up.

  how many women out there found the meetings an excuse to dress up.

  Yes, I'm guilty of being thrilled for ANY excuse to dress up that the cult could provide. The problem is that when I was young I dressed like a fashionable woman in her 40's or 50's. Brainwashed to think Young=bad old=good. Stupid

  Kari, you said on another thread that he is a serial cheater and you knew it when you married him and that he has cheated on you as well, but you will continue to forgive him because you love him and were raised to "be in subjection". It doesn't seem to me that his missing your anniversary is your biggest problem.
