Season's Beepings
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. friends
i know it was immature, but on the way home from christmas day with my husband's family, we drove by 3 homes of my friends from the hall who were all home, btw, and beeped out christmas greetings with the car horn to them all.

one elder was outside with a confused look on his face.

it was fun, childish, but fun.. the kids had a blast and i had fun checking my stocking for all the little goodies that mean more than the big ones.

open marriages, anyone have experience?
by Pierced Angel in
1. social
2. relationships
well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.

i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.

it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).

Christmas Tree Pictures-Post them
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. friends
we put our first tree up, a blue spruce with white lights and a hodge podge of ornaments and a little tinsel.

it's beautiful and was a lot of fun, the kids were so picky about choosing where to put their ornaments.

anyone else have a picture of their tree to post?

DA'd myself today
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. friends
well, i did it.. it's official and i'm relieved.. the elders wanted to try talking to me once again, but after awhile it was obvious that they were only interested in changing my thoughts not answering any questions.

so, i just calmly asked if i could disassociate myself.

they acted stunned and they got tears in their eyes, but i told them that i had already grieved and was ready to move on with life.

someone tell me quick how wrong and stupid i am to even think about cheating on my husband.. i've met someone that has swept me off my feet and with my newfound freedom from leaving the borg, i feel like i'm going through a mid-life crisis or something.

I was such a b_tch
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. friends
when i was a witness:.

i used to think they were materialistic, wordly and didn't raise their kids right.. i used to tell my non-jw husband that if he didn't come to the meetings that we wouldn't be together forever.

i'd say that when he'd say something like "i'll love you forever".
Wish I could open her eyes
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. friends
a close friend of mine was molested by a brother-in-law when she was about 7 or 8 and he was in his early 20's.

she kept it a secret until earlier this year when she wrote him a letter (she said that this was something a watchtower or awake had suggested to help the healing process).

he didn't really deny what he'd done, just said he "didn't remember it".

Hello-New Again and Pierced!
by Pierced Angel in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've posted in the past under the nic, "doubting sister", but i'm no longer doubtful.

i'm totally convinced, the witnesses are just another religion like any other.

actually, i consider them a cult, but i think many religions have cultish tendencies anyhow, so i'll refrain from calling them that for now.. because of this site i've been able to see things more clearly and i'm feeling better about leaving.
