i'm currently at the meeting again... i'm always in the back working the sound cause everyone else can't seem to work it and i'm mostly on my phone reading jwn or writing, or doodling or sometimes i just stare at the audience to see who's falling asleep or daydreaming.
its really the only way i can still sit through these things.. but i remember getting the number of a girl i used to like at one district convention and we would text each other during the program and talk about how boring it was.. i also remember sneaking out of a circuit assembly and going to see a car show that was going on right next door.
that was fun!.
Growing up our DC were outdoors at the state fair grounds, most summers the state fair was going the same time of the DC. Spent alot of time riding rides and hanging out at the fair.
The horse stables were adjacent to the track where the DC was, sitting in that hot sun and fighting horse flys all day sucked big time.
Swearing is not allowed unless the swear word is slightly modified. For example fuck is not allowed, but dipfuck is acceptable if someone is truly acting like a dipfuck.
we were taught that this is detrimental and would only end in doom and gloom...is it true??.
are you happy or know someone who is??
do you regret it?.
I think in most cases it has less to do with religeous affiliation and more to do with the compatablity of the couple. I was married to a JW for 18 years and we were just not very compatable with each other. Neither of us were truly happy. Turns out that being a JW was about the only thing we had in common.
A couple years after divorce, I met a great woman who was brought up as a baptist, I was already an exJW at that point. We were very compatable and have been together for over 10 years. We are both very happy. In hind sight, I wish the first marriage would have ended sooner, but that is not so easy in JW land.
so i just broke up with my jw boyfriend of over two years, nearly three.
when i met him he was disfellowshipped and i didn't find out he was a jehovah's witness unitl 4 months into the relationship.
six month into he was reinstated with the caution of getting rid of me, but he didnt.
If you think about it, he is really using you by keeping you hidden in the closet. If you get mad enough about this, you should report all of his sexual activity to the elders so they can give him another 12 months on the side line. What an asshole.

The end of most relationships suck, sorry for that. However the truth is he would always put the religion before you. That is no way to build trust in a relationship. You are lucky, you just don't know it yet.

What you don't like the winged cyclopse potatohead with a small penis look? Sorry, I have no idea even though mine is changed, I did it years ago and slept since then.
Just embrace your inner cyclopse.

ohmygosh!!!
one of my friends who is a ms told me today that the elders have 'marked' me because i'm a reg.pioneer and i've decided to go to college next semester???!
he said he can't tell me anymore but to be careful---what the hell does 'mark' mean?
I got marked for growing a beard. It happens, just ignore them and do what you want. The marking means nothing other than you don't have to put up with self righteous super fine appostles who want to control 100% of your life.
Or tell them that you are looking forward to being able to reach out to young folks with the message that would otherwise not get it. It is your own personal private teritory. Of course if they were to remove you from pioneer then there would be no point then.
i am replacing my hvac system, considering 2 options .
1) heat pump coupled with a 80% efficiency furnace for when it drops below 20f .
2) a 95% high efficiency furnace with a traditional 15 seer a/c unit.. anyone here work in this field or replace their system recently?
Thanks to all who have commented!
I am leaning towards the air source heat pump. I would like a system that will pay for itself over time. The gound source heat pumps sound like the most efficient, but the cost just may be to high to justify.
The city where I live does offer rebates as well as 3% loans for replacing with high efficiency system. Will be taking advantage of that for sure.
