Newlyweds Regret Saving Sex For Marriage

by Abaddon in

newlyweds regret saving sex for marriage

wetumka, oktwo weeks after their feb. 1 wedding, matt and liz kuchen, both 32, regret remaining virgins until marriage.

"why the hell did i wait?

I think many of us respect the decision that Mozzer and you made; and also admire your bravery in telling your story here. You started out well just by talking and communicating. After all, communication is more important than sex to a successful marriage. Really! Or said another way, good communication leads to good sex.

Take care,

Sam

celebrating!

yep, tonight is the night we have purchased our freedom.

yep, the boys can only say (no incidents to point to, no 2 witnesses) that they feel we are <gasp> apostates!

Dear Jst2laws & joy2bfree,

Have another one for me, please and enjoy another walk along that beautiful beach for my wife. She loves sun and sand!

I've thought often about you two and the difficult time your former friends have been giving you these past many months. Hopefully, the worst is over and you can begin to truely enjoy your new found freedom.

All the best,

Did you know: some states will force blood transfusions on your child

by joe_from_kokomo in

one of my children is facing surgery, and when we went in for pre-op discussions and tests, we met with the anesthesiologist's assistant.

of course, we told her we were jws, and noted that on the questionaire form, but she was quick to inform me that in my state, blood transfusions can be administered to minor children in spite of the parent's objections, even if they are jws.

state law precedent has been set in this matter, and they will get a court order if needed.. .

There was a time when this policy was also true in the case of adults (that hospitals got court orders for necessary blood). Some of us are alive today only because of caring state provisions. Our JW families would have let us bleed to death.

Just got off the phone with my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Jesika in

jw
friends

i am soooooooooooooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo into the jw "thing", i just can't stand it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i asked him about the "two eye witness rule", and i can't even see straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam Beli

Dear Jesika,

So sorry that you continue to be exposed to pain. Hopefully, with each passing encounter the pain will lessen slightly and in time it will not hurt as much as it does now.

LyinEyes has it about right, I think. I too have a dad "in." He continues to try to recruit me, and at my age! Recognizing the truth about the truth is just too painful for those who have devoted many years to this cult. Beyond the pain there is the cowardliness. These types are just not brave enough to look objectively at the facts. They cower down into their little prejudiced world where they do not have to make informed decisions. Everything is decided for them and they feel safe that way.

When we have had enough time to adjust to our new surroundings and bask in the light of our freedom we can look back upon those who remain in the JW world and pity them for their ignorance, their weakness and their enslavement.

Warm regards to you Jesika, you are a young brave and beautiful person who deserves the best that life has to offer. Stay strong and you will develope pride in who you will have become and in what you will have achieved.

Sam
