It's Minimus! I loved you in my last incarnation here.
Good to see you again and no, there is zero chance I'll tell you who I was back in 2003-2005.

Did your spirituality improve after confessing to wrongdoing?
by jwfacts ini was reading this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/220730/1/had-my-jc-today-oh-sugar, and morbidzbaby mentioned their husband confessed to uncleaness because he did not feel he was getting blessed by jehovah.
however, blessings did not increase after the confession.. it made me wonder about the whole idea of confessing so that you do not loose jehovah's blessing.
when i was in bethel i confessed about a couple of menial things.

Hi, smak, I'm glad you're here.
I have often thought the elders get titillated (sp) by hearing stories of sex which is why they didn't get any details on my "fornication". I did, however, tell them all the gory details about my smoking.

No, not at all. Not one little bit.
The elders have nothing to do with my relationship with God and I knew that even as a JW. I didn't feel as though I did anything really wrong as far as the sex, and as far as the smoking, are you kidding? No guilt there.
In retrospect, I know that I wanted to get kicked out. At least then I'd be spared the angst of leaving.

All one has to do is look in the eyes of a dog to know whether or not dogs have souls.
I believe they do and there is a heaven for them. God loves them too.

I am grieved to learn of the death of your fathers, everyone. I'm so sorry. It's not easy.
My heart goes out to all of you. And thanks for your lovely responses.

Came here to see if I can give help this time
by peridotgreen inhi - one of the reason's i've returned after so long was to see if i can help anyone as i was helped.. .
so......if you need someone to talk to, and you feel comfortable with me, please pm me.. .
yeah, i know, so awkward.. .

write anytime. Please. I mean that.
I was fortunate in that I was the only JW in my family. It must be extremely difficult if one's family is still a member of an organization one wants to leave - and there is a high cost associated with leaving.
But PM me any time. And please please please stick around here. Make new friends. Read everything you can.

Yes, this husband is for the rest of my life.....or his.....whichever comes first.
I am well aware that most will not feel comfortable talking to someone she feels she cannot trust - yet. However, the offer is out there. Who knows and who is to say what does or does not do it for someone?

"Disobedience is very costly"
by TOTH inwow, i had some words with my father in law.
over the years i have always had such a profound respect for him because he used to speak from the heart and used the bible to express his view, but lately he has become more and more "wt-ish" with his comments.
my wife has been suffering from severe pain for years due to injuries suffered at the hands of her 1st husband.

But I'm here if you want to chat.
My info:
56, married, grown kids, Witness for 15 years, only JW in my family, DF for smoking (which I know that I did on purpose so I would be kicked out), this all went down in the late 90s early 00s
This is my third husband. They both left me - one because I'd become a JW - it was one of the happiest days in my life. So something good did come of being a JW - I lost the ass hole husband.
I understand all sorts of problems because I've been through them.
Just keep me in mind if you have any bad moments like I used to have when I was new here.
Love,
Peridot
