What am I letting myself in for?
by Kingpawn in
1. jw
2. experiences
many of you know i'm in a marriage that sucks and i plan to leave.

i'm thinking of listing my reasons to a therapist, asking if they see any flaws in my reasoning, anything i seem to be glossing over, am i rationalizing, you get the idea.. if they see nothing wrong, i plan to start making phone calls to get a lawyer.

here's where those of you who are divorced, especially the guys, can help.. what extra stresses am i to prepare for?

Does Vivamus do...commercials?
by Kingpawn in
1. jw

.

the latest set of ads from geico insurance has one of two women in a cubicle telling how some unnamed person has "really worked his tail off" in raising customer satisfaction.. the second one, who has the looks, glasses, and physique (ok, on the last, i'm guessing) of vivamus, bursts into laughter a half-second before the first woman does, and repeats the "worked his tail off" remark.. cut to a scene where the talking gecko lizard (has an english accent) is standing motionless on a computer keyboard.. cut to the women again, who have within a second or two stifled their laughter.. darned if it doesn't look like her!

or her twin.

About the two beheaded Witnesses
by Kingpawn in
1. social
2. current
i got to thinking about this at work a couple of nights ago.. a news story said that the two jw's killed weren't (apparently) proselytizing in the phillipines, which is described as a heavily muslim nation.

though they were found with avon products, avon said the two were neither employees nor representatives.. now, why would two jw's be in a heavily muslim land, possibly pretending to be something they're not?

were they just lugging the stuff from place to place for someone as a favor?.

Your future is to be an ant
by Kingpawn in
1. social
2. humour
the new system will be terribly boring.. if you like to read like i do, nothing will be written after the tribulation.

99.9% of all literature is worldly, so there's a huge lack of preserved material.

no newspapers.

If you could be/could have been...

1. jw

.

the person can be living or dead, the same sex gender as you or the opposite, real or a character from a movie, play, book, etc.

i think i'd go with sherlock holmes (attention to detail and analytical ability) or captain nemo (freedom to explore).. incidentally sherlock holmes is based on a real person.

I kinda feel out of tune with the board
by Kingpawn in
1. jw
2. friends
i've read lots of the threads over the past months, and think i understand the board's "makeup" of people (and please correct me if i'm wrong).

if i'm right, i might have a hard time relating to what the rest of you have gone through.. i became a jw in 1979 or so, and spent more time studying to be one than being one.

i was df'ed a short time later, briefly went through an effort to rejoin, and called it off when my first child was born.
