  Thanks skin! But I don't know how to quote people, or add a pic, or anything. At least the highlighting is gone...not that I figured it out, it's just not there this time. :)

  Plus I'm like REALLY lame about coming up with new topics. I think I'm up to 4 now.

  Oh! I just got the 1914 joke :). ...maybe at my 1975th post something magical will happen?? Or will it just fizzle out like the year did....

  Seen on Facebook, not seen here, lol :).

  Don't worry I'm probably more technologically challenged than anyone! 

  Omg, as witness, I can't figure out how to take out this highlighting!!!

  I was never going to leave. I was going to stick it out no matter what, despite my doubts, cuz I never wanted to disappoint my parents. But finally I decided I had to get out and live according to my own beliefs, and let my kids follow their own paths instead of sticking around this cult until their lives were limited by it. It was time to finally grow up.

  I'm SO glad I did it, even tho the process was hard. I never could have imagined myself here 10 years ago.

  i was just watching this on you tube.

  Be careful what you wish for (in case you want to wake up your spouse)

  i want to spare you a long post about my background.

  because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.

  but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.

  Waking up is rocky. She's going through the same tumultuous mess most of us went through. I wish she hadn't started smoking, cuz that's hard to fix. But she is questioning everything right now. Including her relationship with you. You said your relationship is getting better so that's good. Thanks for letting us see this other perspective of what can happen if people drift apart. I hope you have some good discussions and are very open with each other. But mostly, give her time, she's in shock and it takes a year or two to recover. After some time you may need to reassess your life and see if you love each other on a deep enough level to stay together.

  Try Being Kind...It Actually Feels Good!

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  let me start by saying that this forum has been helpful to me in many ways.

  i haven't gotten involved in much commenting and i am not very assertive by nature so i've steered away from participating in debates.

  but i have read threads often and had a sense of community.

  Pete you are one of the kindest posters here! (Except... I don't read the believers vs. atheists posts anymore, so it's possible I missed a nasty comment or two ;) )

  EOHB you know I sent you a p.m. but I just also wanted to state here publicly that I strongly agree with you and think you are a wonderful person for posting it.

  I'm getting baptized

  by BlackWolf in

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  That's a good point OTWO, focus on the interpretation of the generation teaching oh so conveniently changing so that they could keep their prophecy alive, just in time, every time they changed it. Anyone could observe this, you didn't have to be an apostate to see what they were doing.
