maybe i'm just lucky, but my new husband who has never even been to church treats me better than my first husband who was raised a jw.
my first husband was an alcoholic who had no respect for women.
i suffered with a lot of verbal and emotional abuse.if i wasn't in a romantic mood, then there was something wrong with me.
Sheila,
I can tell by your posts that you and Thunder are very happy together. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I just wish there was a way to reach all of those young ladies out there that think everything will be fine because they are marrying a Witness boy/man.

after the bizarre letter i posted on pornea here is another piece of the wt mind control, information service for circuit overseers.
Ya know what I find strange? How, pray tell, would a JC even know a person was doing this in the first place? Maybe I have been out so long and have found out what having a private life is all about, that I have forgotten about pathetic little dweebs who feel the need to spill their guts every few weeks to the Elders. Geesh! Don't they need two witnesses to press these charges or is that just for child molester's. I can never keep track of all thier policies.

I just love knowing I wasn't the only one experiencing this new happiness!
Wolfgirl, I think I married your husbands cousin the firstime. I definitely get to speak my mind now and my hubby respects me more for that.
Lady Lee, I hear ya! I'm glad you have your big ol' teddy bear and I'm glad "Mr. Attitude" is out of your life.

Hey Neon,
I am so happy for you. I know what you mean. My husband compliments me! He says I am the best thing that ever happened in his life.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but my new husband who has never even been to church treats me better than my first husband who was raised a JW. My first husband was an alcoholic who had no respect for women. I suffered with a lot of verbal and emotional abuse.If I wasn't in a romantic mood, then there was something wrong with ME. He always tried to give me advice on how to improve myself. My new husband whom I met at a birthday party at a local nightclub fell for me the first time we met. He treats me like gold. He rarely drinks and when he does, he never gets falling down drunk. I have been with him since '97 and he has never cursed at me or ever insulted me. He loves me for who I am. My JW husband would call me every name in the book when he was mad at me. This will sound really stupid to some of you, but we get along so well, it is as if God brought us together. Our marriage is just too good sometimes and I can't help but wonder if we were MEANT to be together. Out of all the men I could've ended up with, it was one that any JW would have told me would be a disaster. Any other good stories out there?
ok, i know that the watchtower teaches that when jesus was resurrected, he was resurrected as a spirit creature, while most churches teach that he was raised with his physical body.
what i don't understand, is why the wt puts so much emphasis on this, or why they would say it was not his physical body, he just "materialized" before all his disciples.
this is really a 360 turn around isn't it?
Maybe it was in order to prove to all of the ones that witnessed his resurrection the REALITY OF HIM COMING BACK TO LIFE. Maybe there would be no question as to whether Jesus was really back from the dead, rather than his followers saying they spoke to him in spirit but never actually saw him again. Just my opinion.
hey guys it's me again!!!.
i know it been a awhile since i last came on, but here's what happened when i arrived at my parents home after 18 months of not associating with each other.
well things went ok, it was great to see them in a normal way.
I am so happy you were able to really talk things out. I am ticked about the way your parents are being treated differently by some JWs because of your personal decision to leave. The sad truth is, if they confronted any of those people about it, they would deny it.

hi.. i am a long time member of the board, but i am too embarrassed to put this under my username.
if people 'discover' who this is, please keep it to yourselves.
simon, my apologies, but please understand why i created the username.
I am with Nina on this. I think the fact that the drinking improves your mental state is a good sign that there is a need for the right medication. When I took Zoloft I did have one side effect that bothered me - no desire for sex. It doesn't mean it will affect everyone the same. There are so many new medications now - Effexor and Wellbutrin are also good for giving you the motivation and drive to get up in the mornings. PLEASE see a doctor. Even a regular MD might be able to prescribe Wellbutrin which has helped my sister a great deal.

Mary,
I don't know which Bible translation you prefer but I wanted to share with you one of my FAVORITE scriptures of truth regarding this subject. Please read 1 Corinthians 15:35-51 and tell me what you think. It is really awesome.

I have wondered why they teach this as well. Jesus showed Thomas the marks on his hands from the NAILS (plural - which is what tells me the Cross must be what he was hung on) and the piercing wound on his side. Why would he be so anxious to show Thomas physical wounds if he was a spirit? He could have always performed another miracle if that was the case.
