How did you meet your spouse?

by serendipity in

in our local sunday paper, there's a regular feature on how married couples met.

i've been touched by some of the stories.

i'm curious as to how you met your spouse.

I met the love of my life in my freshmen year of Highschool. I was j-dub and he was punk rocker. It was love at first sight. Of course I told him I we couldn't date unless he was a babtized witness although I really wanted too. Plus my j-dub parents would make it impossible for me to see him outside of school. We stayed best freinds untill he graduated, and then we didn't see eachother for 2 years. One day we bumped into eachother at the mall and we were so happy to finally see eachother again. We dated secretly for another year, and then we decided to get married. My parents were shocked, and devestated that I was marrying and "unbeliever". They tried to convice me to not marry him, and told me it would never work with out jehovahs blessing. Well we married 3 weeks later, and have been happily married for 9 years.

very unusual for december 1, but it is really coming down.

i have to pick up my granddaughter after school at 3 and it's almost noon now.

i hope it doesn't stick much.

Sorry Princess! Didn't mean to generalize.

I don't have anything against suv's or big trucks. I just hate it when the roads are icy and slippery and I have some dumbass in an monster truck (or any car for that matter) who think they're invincible riding my ass.

Yeah I think I'm heading home early today. Washingtonians drive insane when it snows. Especially those who own suv's and large trucks. eek!

What's The Most Scandalous Thing You've Seen Happen In A Congregation?

many years ago i remember suddenly how the bible study servant who was third in command got removed from his position, and was reproved for having a fling with his bible student who was much younger and very married too.

actually, her husband came in the hall while he was substuting as a watchtower conductor and i was reading and screamed all sorts of profanities to him all the while screaming that he was "f***king his wife"!

when the man told him, "i wanna talk to you", the elder said, "not now".

The wife swapping thing happend in my hall. Twice that I can remember. And I remember a pioneer sister leaving her husband for one her bible studies.

our 15 year old dog died this afternoon..............with assistance from a veterinarian friend of rachel's (princess).

she was old, sick, and with multiple health issues.

it was a really hard decision, but the vet really helped ease my mind, by assuring me it was time.

(((( Mulan )))) I'm sorry. Loosing a pet is rough. I've lost two in the last few months.

I can't read the WT and AWAKE anymore

by Jez in

hundreds of supplementary publications written by unnamed authors that can hide behind the watchtower and bible tract society and say anything without referencing it.

lately, i have been thinking that this is one of the reasons that the society does not encourage higher education.

try handing in an essay without your name on it, try not referencing your essay, try having no works cited, try to have only 1 works cited, try quoting out of context, try spewing statistics or numbers or trends in your essay with no reference or date, add ellipsis that only alert your instructor to the potential of hidden information, or try presenting as support for your thesis a third party quote.

My mom just gave me the latest WT and Awake mags last week. I haven't read any for over a year and one of the articles was on higher education so I thought it would be interesting to see what the wts had to say. Well I only read 1 paragraph, and then was bored. I felt like I was reading a childrens book.

Just sayin Howdy

by forsharry in

i saw that other people had done this and i figured it would be a good way to introduce myself.

i've been reading many of the threads and let me tell you that it's comforting to read that others feel the same way i have felt about being in the organization.

i'm not sure how much i can contribute as far as delectible tidbits of information, but i have replied to a couple of threads to, if nothing else, interject some 'humor' into things.
