Hi Miss Fit- about your mom- sounds like a grotesque but typical conversation.
As to your OP- strength eventually comes from within. You will find it in yourself.
i know there are some here that are going through some tough times.
some of you do not believe in god.
some are not sure.. i was told recently by a friend to pray to god for help and he would comfort me.. my first impulse is to pray.
Hi Miss Fit- about your mom- sounds like a grotesque but typical conversation.
As to your OP- strength eventually comes from within. You will find it in yourself.
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.
Hi Fresh Prince!
Sounds like you were in a dyfunctional and even co-dependent relationship.
It worries me when, after all you have written you conclude with:
Anyway, I don't know what more to say. I feel like I may end up going back to her, even though I know how unhappy I was in the relationship, especially over the past year. But the guilt and anguish I'm experiencing over leaving her is just too much.
WOW! Dude! Be strong!
Sometimes when you are in a relationship like this its like being inside a long dark tunnel. No, I am not going to tell you to look for the light at the end of the tunnel, you need to crawl out of the tunnel man!
Functional, happy, equal relationships do exist- and you could even have one! Dont let her low expectations affect yours. Climb out into the fresh Ohio air!
Maybe this lady will be alright, and maybe she wont. She may self destruct but I hope she doesnt. In any case staying with someone to prevent an implosion is not a good solution.
Cut her off- no phone calls, texts, or emails. Be strong and stoic like the Marlboro man and walk off into the sunset.
this is not the way it was supposed to be.
gray hair and pains in the knee.
you will not grow old or suffer from age.
Hi Moly.
once you know its not a round the corner, you can begin to value the present and everyone in your life RIGHT NOW a little more.
They will never be the perfect, forever youthful, coiffed, buttoned up smiling people you see in the magazines.
Love them, before the WTS empty promise of living forever steals one more moment from this, the only life you have.
Hi Meta.
Drinking is fun but try to keep your clothes on, for petes sake.
it never ceases to amaze me how dumb some jw's are... (sorry if i offend some lurkers... but seriously when you wake up, you will be like... how on earth did i ever believe this?).
so here's my post (anonymous) on a fb page asking jw's to comment on their highlights of this week:.
"i loved romans 10:9!
I am pretty smart, but I dont see your point- then again, I dont care about what the Bible says.
I used to read it at the Kingdom Hall and its a violent, pornographic book, but even those thrills wear off eventually.
how chaste was it?.
if you engaged in minconducts, how far did you go?.
did anyone find out?
minny minny minconducts, little waffle.
jwfacts is a great website, but in view of the fact that "there are no facts, only interpretations", as nietzsche said, should the website be renamed jwinterpretations instead?

rouse the rabble!
this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.
it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.
i feel free today.
Man. What a dickhead your brother is. You must be one cool headed dude.
I probably would have signed off with a F*** you.
My advice- you are not responsible for your parents. Leave them hanging.
.
from my place of forgetting, and out of my utter despair and loneliness, i tap out my pathetic message desperately hoping that there is someone, anyone that might possibly hear ... .

Hi Weebles. Just wanted to knock on your dark dungeon door and pass you some late summer cherries through the chinks between the stones.
