  Yesterday was a bad day for me. While I was watching the USA vs Russia hockey game this morrning I put on my 2014 Team Hockey Jersey that I asked my hubby back in January that if he wanted to get me a just for the heck of it gift I would love to have the jersey. Even though I asked for it I'll pretend it was a Valentines gift. I don't consider it a Vday gift but thats how I'll look at it.

  jwdaughter, clarity,and alpha man.... thank you for your nice comments.

  lisarose... thank you also however I don't use maniulpation tactics.

  nathan natas...thank you and I totally agree with you. They should not accept any holiday pay for any national holiday's since they do not observe or celebrate them. But they do. Just another contradiction as far as I am concerned.

  after hearing of the sad news about farkel i thought i'd revisit the 'best of' section to see the 'best of farkel'... .

  i seem to be redirected to the log in page.

  i think i may have asked about this before a few months or years ago, not sure.

  I have the same problem. I figured out that if I log out then I have access as a "visitor" Log out and see if you have access that way.

  What Motivates Jehovah's Witnesses To Stay In The Religion?

  by minimus in

  i believe it is mostly guilt.

  many witnesses pioneer or "reach out" in the religion because they feel guilty.. they may feel they aren't doing enough.

  they may have secretly "sinned" against rules imposed by the organization.

  nonjwspouse... I have been looking into free online classes in history. Sense I don't have a happy home life and hubby is to blind to see that I am not happy. I need to find something to fill my life with. Not to mention by taking free classes he can't complain how much money it is costing him. MIT has a great free online program.

  You are blind where I an concerned. I have to deal with all your watchtower crap all over the house. Yet you say that you are not in my face with witness stuff. Look around honey. You are. I can't even take a potty without seeing your crap. Yet I don't display my King James Bible. The witness get more of your waking hours than I do. Its always something witness with you. Can't you see how the elders and congration are putting a wedge between us? Open your flipping eyes. A lot of people ask why I am still married to you. Its simple I love you. I love you more than you love me. I vowed to love you though better or worse. Just hope it gets better soon. Thats all I have for now. Until my birthday rolls around and I go into another depression.

  Thanks again everyone for allowing me to vent. I haven't been on for a while because I have been pretty sick and my IBS has been in overdrive.

  Valentines Day. Another holiday that unbelieving spouses can't celebrate. Just one out of many holiday's and important days that we get the shaft on. I waited my whole life to be someones Valentine. I'm still waiting. Oh how it hurt when you would buy roses for every female family member on Valentines day ond Mothers Day and forget me. Or look at me and say "you don't want any do you?" When you put it like that of course I don't. It should be automatic.You have everyone convinced that I don't like flowers. I loaned my laptop to a member in your stupid congration. They wanted to give me flowers as a thank you but your sister said that I don't like flowers. When I told you how hurt I was at not ever getting flowers from you, you apologized. Not long after you sent flowers to your first wife as you sent gifts to both your daughters, your son in law and all your grandkids. Plus your soon to be son in law. No flowers for me. No gift for me and nothing for my son. It hurts knowing that I am not even in your top 5 priorities. Its your jehovah, your sister, the elders, service work, the congration then me. Your wife. The one you vowed to forsake all others for. You keep asking if I'm happy. If I'm ok. Knowing how you react when I display negative emotions by shunning me for days on end I lie and say I am happy and ok. Why not lie. You lie to me and my friends. You can't denie this as you have left a paper trail. It hurts watching you pick and choose what doctrine rules you wish to follow. You wouldn't attend my baptism but chose to attend a funeral that was not for a witness. You plan to walk your daughter down the isle for her wedding and plan to attend your grandsons Marine Corps basic training. You want to go with your other daughter to her first husbands grave on Memorial Day. You post a ton of military stuff on facebook. But you don't wish me a happy Valentines Day, a happy birthday, a happy mothers day, a happy Thanksgiving or a Merry Christmas. I can't wish you any of those holidays to you or a happy birthday to you. You accept birthday and holiday wishes from others even accept gifts. You can't see how much I hurt. You are blind where I am concer
