  Is It A Struggle NOT To Get DF'd These Days?

  by StAnn in

  seems like when i was young (back when that dinosaur in the green nwt was still roaming the earth), df'd people were rare.

  a jw friend of ours was telling my husband (never a jw) that it's almost impossible not to get df'd.

  my husband thought that was absurd until he started reading things on this board that folks have been df'd over.

  In the area I use to live it was quite common, especially for kids of the non-elite. I knew several that had been df'd several times. They would be df'd for a year or two, get reinstated only to be df'd again in a few months.

  Blasty,

  I'm 30, and my wife is 28, and sometimes I think were in our 70's already.

  Do you have small kids? If so, hang in there. Most women hit their prime around 40 and it only gets better from there. If you have small kids, offer to keep them for her for a few hours so she can go do something she likes, i.e. spa day, shopping. She'll probably rip your clothes off when she gets back home.

  I didn't read all of the other comments yet, but would she be open to reading "Crisis of Conscience"? That was a real eye opener for me.

  Is it better to stay married one time or have been married couple of times?

  I think it depends on the kind of marriage you have. If you are truly in love with your mate, stay married. If you don't get along and it's stressful to be in that relationship, move on. Life is to short to be in a miserable relationship.

  ok, so here's my story as it stands right now.

  my husband and i have been married for 6 1/2 years.

  about 2 weeks after we were married, he was appointed as a ministerial servant.

  Welcome, heybaby...

  Jesus said that you will recognize his people by the love they have amongst themselves...that scripture was probably the one that awakened me the most.

  I experienced the same thing when my husband was made an MS. It was a short-lived experience fortunately!

  Several times, while living in California, I would see a table set up at an outdoors mall with all of the literature sitting there. Usually, two sisters would be sitting there. I never saw them approach anyone, they just sat there in case someone wanted to "get saved". I thought that was a pretty easy way to get your time in.

  charles manson and fred franz had something in common.

  both believed the end of the world was coming.

  franz believed it would start by the governments destroying religion.

  Have you read the Revelation Climax book lately? ;) A man who sees in the convention of an obscure Adventist offshoot held in Cedar Point Ohio nothing less than the fulfillment of Gawd-inspired Bible prophecy is "that far gone" and then some. lol

  My thoughts exactly. As a believing dub I always found this to be really stretching things. I would look around the book study and wonder how all of these seemingly intelligent people could be swallowing the bs.

  I was thinking about this the other day. My MIL is a pioneer and pretty much lives on a fixed income. I wonder how long it will be before she has to quit pioneering. I would imagine quite a few pioneers will drop out before too long if gas keeps going up. Most pioneers barely survive as it is on a part time job. Not to mention that groceries have sky-rocketed, at least in my area. My husband and I have good jobs and even we are feeling it.

  The Republican Party Frustrates me!

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being a former witness, when i first left the religion, i thought it would be a good idea to stick with a party that was fairly conservative in their stand.

  although, in many ways i did not agree with them, i liked the republicans more then the democrats.

  so i registered republican.

  There is a Libertarian party in this country and they do have a candidate for President.

  I actually watched the Libertarian debates and was quite impressed with several of the candidates. I liked Bob Barr okay, not crazy about Root...wish he had picked the woman (can't remember her name). Everyone says that a libertarian doesn't have a chance in hell of winning, but really wish the American people would open up to the idea.
