Comments You Will Not Hear at the 10-29-06 WT Study (REJOICE WIFE)

with her love may you be in an ecstasy constantly.".

This is my big sore spot. I have so many comments that they are all trying to get out at once and getting muddled.

Maybe my marriage would have been better if I had married a "straight" man. Did the elders who encouraged my gay husband to find a wife really think it would be a happy marriage? How could we have possibly been even close to happy when it was all based on a lie?

When I went to the elders for help after my husband told me he didn't love me (I still didn't know he was gay, I just thought I was hidious and unattractive) they lovingly told me to have my husband come talk to them, then they could help. That was it. There was no advice for me at all, no help, no assistance. My husband refused to go (he was "spiritually weak" at the time) and the elders wouldn't come to him.. what did they expect me to do? I suppose I should have "waited on Jehovah" but I couldn't. My heart was crushed (literally.. anyone who has felt this way knows what I mean) and I was lost without any support.

I have read so many of these articles in the past. All that wrapped in plastic advice makes me ill. It sounds good til it happens to you, then it's completely unapplicable. They don't tell you that you will have to deal with it alone. They don't give any advice for how to handle the screaming loneliness. I suppose I should have stayed and been miserable with the rest of them. I'm sure glad I didn't.

I left, fell in love, had lots of sex (and didn't die!!) and eventually remarried. Now I am blissfully happy, and all without the help of the elders, the bible, or jah.

This is probably more that is warrented for this thread.. but I'm glad I got it off my chest :)

How Many Clocks Did You Reset

by Undecided in

jw
friends

i had 15 to reset to daylight saving time last night.

there was the cook stove, coffee maker, mivrowave, tvs, alarm clocks, electric clocks, wind up clocks, car clocks, wrist watch.

the dvd player and computers did it automatically.

Mystla

I only had 3 clocks to change.. and I haven't done it yet.

Question: Where are they discontinuing daylight savings? I heard that they are changing when it occurs, not getting rid of it. This is what Wikpedia had to say:

In 2006

The schedule for 2006 in the United States is that DST began on the first Sunday in April (April 2, 2006), and changes back to standard time on the last Sunday in October (October 29, 2006). The time is adjusted at 2 AM.

From 2007

Beginning in 2007, DST will start on the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007), and change back to standard time on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007

Not sure if that applies elsewhere.

by headmath in

Mystla

Everyone I knew went to Hawaii or Mexico..... a lot.

No idea why, no imagination for where else they could go, I guess .. I was always too broke to go anywhere.

Welcome Dr. Z.. which poster is your wife? if you don't mind me asking?

Give me your best conspiracy theories.

by XJW4EVR in

jw
friends

the thread on the wt$ and the illuminati got me to think, and since i have to write a term paper in my sociology class i thought why not research some conspiracy theories.

please help be listing some of your favorite ones.

i only ask that you not tell me about 9/11, or the kennedy clan assassinations.

Mystla

Ah! You mock me for lumping Disney in with all the other nastys... Let's see, it's a big multi-national Gazillion dollar Corp, no room for conspiracies there!!

Did you know that Jim Henson refused to sell out to Disney? Then he mysteriously dies of pneumonia and suddenly Disney owns the muppets.

Douglas Adams was having some difficulty writing the screenplay for Hitchhiker's Guide to Disney's satisfaction.. and he suddenly dies of pneumonia!! coincidence??? I think not!! (or at least I ry to avoid it)

Disney has it's finger in just about every big pie you can think of.

I probably shouldn't post this.. I've revealed to much.. they'll be after me next!

Bush was pushing his timber, I mean wildfire, bill when he came to visit in Oregon.. a wildfire started the same day in the area he was headed to.. then a few years later, the same thing happened again.. he was coming to visit and promote his anti-wildfire bill (you know the one where you cut down trees to prevent wildfire) and a fire broke out.. there were those who swore they saw black helicopters in the vacinity of where the fire started.. don't know if I believe that, I do know that the stupid wildfire bill is a bunch of BS.

Just how efficient is the US Government?

by Sailor Ripley in

friends

so i changed my address... online and i thought, wow, that was easy.

i also paid a buck to register to vote.

both were over 3 months ago.. i go to vote today in early voting but to no avail.

Mystla

Thanks Ripley, I'll pass it on :)

Funny you should mention Pot, Mike... it's the only thing that even comes close to helping hubby with pain, but if he get's caught using it he would lose all his VA benifits.. ironic, eh? He's even legal for it in our state, but the fed's could still yank all his benifits.

Is Bigfoot real?

i live in the northwest.

in so doing, i camp at least a dozen times a year.

i am out each week, during the spring in summer, fishing and in the fall hunting.

Mystla

I've seen him.. I sleep next to him every night

In all seriousness.. no, I don't think he's out there. I, too, have camped and hiked over much of Oregon and Washington (not so much Calif) and my hubby grew up in the wilds of Alaska, and neither of us has seen signs of one. I know he (my hubby) likes to think he's started a few rumors by walking around barefooted in remote spots.. he might even be right, there was a report of signs of one shortly after we went arrow head hunting in an area
