my wife just told me she heard on the radio an advertisment which started out with a child complaining of being scared.
the announcer went on to say that adults too sometimes get scared.
and for more information go to www.watchtower.org - the official website of jehovah's witnesses.
"Are you scared and lonely? Want to be with other scared and lonely people? Want us to tell you what we think the bible means, for FREE? Just donate money to us, to cover the costs of, well stuff, and we'll make you feel better. We won't take away the fear or lonliness, but we will take your freedom."
I bet it says that.
i think that if i had to describe my basic attitude toward life, the universe, and everything in one sentence, it would be this:.
generally, and on reflection, life is better today than it was yesterday.. very anti-thetical to the wt view of things, i know.

Relax and enjoy yourself. Not too much, but if you do, use lotion or something.
i have been in a relationship for about 2-1/2 years now, and it seems that every time we have an argument or disagreement, it usually turns out to be my fault according to the other person, and my upbringing as a jw is always brought into the light, and also my depressive moods, this person knowing background of my exit from the org.
and the feelings it has caused me.
it feels as though they are using this as a "scapegoat", because even if that person comes home in a bad mood, or has to do something that they don't like, and an argument insues, i automatically am made the "bad guy", even though i was previously in a good mood before things started, and am reminded by this person how i must not be taking my antidepressants, or am thinking too much about my past, etc.
Its always my fault, but its not because of my JW backgroung. That should never be used against you in an arguement. Its like telling a recovering alcoholic "Thats because you used to be a drunk" in an argument. Not called for.
Its always my fault cuz I'm the guy.
i have been dating my girlfriend for a little while now.
we have a great relationship, for the most part everything is great, we get along etc.. .
but she has a concern about me.
So handing her $60 and slapping her butt, then say "go get something special for ya'self" is out?
i had to drive about 600km (370 miles) to hamburg and back again yesterday on business.. for those of you that don't know, large parts of the german network of autobahns (freeways) have no speed limit.. of course, those who say german's don't have a sense of humour won't have though in detail about having a network of two-lane dual carriageways with no speed limit.
a very funny idea.. it was still a pretty good average speed (about 135km/h, 83mph) for the part of the journey in germany, and we , but as i got up to 220km/h (135mph) at various points and cruised over 160km/h (100mph) a lot, if they'd been a third lane it would have been a lot higher.
one side effect is once you are back down to normal highway speeds (120km/h) it feels like you're doing 50k/mh.
I don't think there is a conspiracy. They can make cars that top out at 65. They make governers that cap a car's speed. Problem is, Nobody will buy those cars. People want fast cars, just like they want SUVs. Most people won't go 4x4ing in their 4x4 SUVs, but they feel great being able to. Same goes with speed.
Speed limits are for public safety. Sure they build revenu, but only from violators. The faster you go the more dangerous and deadlier the accident is. And the way CA drivers are, i'm glad there is a speed limit. But it does suck that some officers are racist and pull people over for a DWB.
my hubby and i had my mom over last sat.
and overall she was pretty good with the exception of the magazines she left at the very end.. now she has called and asked if we can get together, just us, for cokes on friday while i'm in town.
now, i know that she is going to witness to me and ask me if i love jehovah and tell me that if i do i should obey his commands.......and so on....and i will probably leave her feeling worthless.. i don't want to miss out on spending time with her because i really love my mother....but on the other hand i don't want to leave her depressed.... any suggestions?
If your discussions about religion usually end in an argument, then remind her of that and ask her please do not want to talk about something that will probably end in an argument.

if she brings it up, just ask her to just enjoy each other's time and not get bogged down with religion. You love her and want to spend time with her.

You could come up behind her and grab her butt and bite her earlobe and say "Mmmmm" in her ear....
my parents know how i feel about the whole religion and they now know that i will never come back.
there is a somewhat cordial existance at this point but i feel this won't last for long.
my wife and i regulary visit my parents and sometimes we even leave our 2 yr child at their house overnight.
How far can you throw them?

Some other suggestions:
Help her with the dishes every once in a while.
Sort the laundry for her.
Defrost dinner before she cooks it.
Brush your teeth and shave before getting 'intimate'
Little things like this go a long way.

In case you didn't notice, I'm being sarcastic.
