I know what it is like to be in a marriage WAY to long. I have no way of knowing EXACTLY what you are dealing with but Had I stayed in my marriage I would be dead. I agree with jgnat...get out the right way and also spend some time with yourself. You will have to jump through a lot of hoops to be with this woman and if you are doing that just to be with her, you will be lying to her. Have you asked her what she wants??

OK....in order to test this thing out (find out if it really works) you ask it a question you already know the answer to. ie:"What was Grandma's name?" Then you place your fingers on the divining pointer and guess what?? You find the indicator moving to spell out your Grandma's name or not. This probably depends on how much YOU want the board to work. After all it is your fingers on the guiding rod. Now, if the divining device moved all by itself that could be another story.

God has always used one channel, one group of people, to communicate his messages to.
by poopieskoopie inok, since time indefinite jehovah has always used only one channel (his people) to reveal himself and future events to.. are we to totally disregard the dreams given to nebuchenezzer, then king of the world, in the book of daniel???
yes, dreams directly from god himself to a pagan deviate with a weird name.
why were they not given to daniel???

Why were they not given to Daniel??? Why not cut out the middleman and go directly to Daniel? This definitly throws a monkey wrench in the theory that one and only one set, organization, or kind of people were used to communicate the truth.

Personal Paradigm Shifts
by freeflyingfaerie indo you find yourself, since leaving the religion, having an exhorbitant amount of personal paradigm shifts?.
sometimes i question my sanity.. i feel so open to ideas...don't know where to start sometimes.. don't feel dogmatic about too many things...maybe feel that it just 'isn't for me'...at least for right now (lol).... but in all of this, i never tire of these epiphanies and spontaneous feelings of gratefulness and love.. .
does anyone else out there experience this ?.

Flying fairy said-
That quote "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" sounds like a bunch of malarkey...as if a person should find a a belief, any belief and squeeze it tight; maybe I'm in observation mode
Cool Beans. According to Witness beliefs and records some as young as 6 get baptized. How can anyone that is 6 decide what is real and what is not real. You're in a good spot and yes the quote is a bit of bullshit. What it is really saying is I MUST DEFEND WHAT I THINK IS REAL!!!! Why can't people just sit back and enjoy the ride???

by S EIGHT ingreetings.. allow me to set the questions up.. after 30 years in the truth (i'm now late 40's) and having established the truth about the truth i consider myself agnostic going on atheist.. i struggle to believe there is a god when i observe life yet i try to convince myself there must be something out there.. here's the basis of my question: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23583116 .
in summary, 2 young boys have been killed by a snake that escaped from a pet store in canada.

I personally believe there is 'something' out there, even if we are only an 'experiment' being conducted by a higher form of intelligence that isn't perfect either. I just want them to reveal themselves......and admit they f'd up a few things.

On the whole, belief in any religion declines roughly 20% every 10 years. I can see why now!

Talking in toungues really got me!! Here was this group of people babbling like a bunch of psycho wacko whatevers, not understanding a word they were saying and encouraging me to do the same for proof that I was full of the holy spirit. I was told that this was a special language that only god understood and that using this language would ensure that the devil didn't interfere with the answering of the prayer. I was told that the longer I spent doing this the better off I would be. Some of the babblers claimed to spend countless hours everyday doing this in a closet. In hindsight, this is more like what a crack addict does than someone influencing the powers that be.

Personality Disorders Attracted to JWism
by skeeter1 inare there personality disorders that find the watchtower an appealing fit?

to start off with, i was reading about obsessive-compulsive disorders and this "profile" seemed like the "normal" jws i know:.

It is true that certain personalities fit better than others. I was told when I first began studying and asking questions that "Not everyone is cut out to be a witness". I was raised in another religion that, to me, was rigid so I possessed the "peculiarities" that fit from the get go. It was only a few years and a million questions later that I found out TTATT. I also found out that the original bible students were not allowed to laugh during any of their gatherings. I could easily understand no sex or roughhousing....but no laughter!!!.WTH

Very early in my publishing career I took a new recruit to meet with the brothers because she had requested to do so. They took their time giving an overall picture of the organization putting great emphasis on the joy people experience, especially those assigned to Bethel. After listening intently to these brothers the new recruit, staring wide eyed, asked in a very sincere tone, "How do I get asigned to this BROTHEL?"
