  Why are people so determined to be miserable?

  by Sunchild in

  2. friends

  as i was reading through a few of yk's words of wisdom, i found myself wondering about that very question.

  how often have you heard these statements given by christians in particular (and sorry to pick on you guys, but it's the easiest example):.

  "when i get to heaven....".

  Happy JW Marriages the Impossible Dream?

  by IslandWoman in

  1. social
  2. family

  while it is not impossible to have a happy marriage in the jw religion for many it is hard, for some it is very hard to maintain happiness in their marriage.

  the watchtower raises the bar so very high in every aspect of life, marriage included.

  the watchtower literature encourages a jw married couple to be practically perfect, or at least that is the goal set before them.

  open marriages, anyone have experience?

  by Pierced Angel in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.

  i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.

  it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).

  there are two things.

  in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.

  jack was his name and killing puppies was his game.

  he was the best god damned puppy killer around, and folks in them here parts knew he always did good work.

  "got too many puppies," the old man drawled, "don't wants to kill them but what can be done?".

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from time to time some of us may have wondered about the amount of work that we will have to do restoring the post-armageddon world into a paradise.

  think of all that construction and all that clearing up!

  how long is it going to take?.
