some of you know i have struggled with this for awhile.
i really do believe in marriage and the committment, however, sometimes enough is enough.. his endless preaching at me and calling me and my (adult) children satan has me realizing that this situation is not going to get better.
the other day he kicked my son out of the house for wearing a cap, in his car, with a skull on it.
You sound strong and you didn't make this decision quickly. As you said, you'll be fine! I left a 26 year marriage with a preteen and a teen, a new, entry level job and no child support. It was scary, but worth it. You can't change him, only what you do. It will feel so good to lock your apartment door every night and know he's not going to be there. I wish you the best; you're still young and will have a wonderful, fulfilling life!

we plan on going next month .
first time to that area ,any suggestions on must see/do in that area ..?
i just made reservations for the first two nights in a resort motel near porcupine mountains state park..
here on jehovahs-witness.net i have come across theists, atheists and those that are agnostic that all claim to be friends because they're ex-witnesses like it is all that is needed for religious unity.. .
why isn't this on the ad?.
because every atheist i've talked to believes jehovah's witnesses are just another organization of stupid adults with imaginary friends, just a splinter of mainstream christianity a lot like the branch davidians.
"sooner7nc, I remember you claimed to be an anti-theist by stating you disregard everything in the Bible as a bunch of non-sense. Maybe you're a deist. I think you completely grasp and comprehend what I've posted. If Jehovah's Witnesses are a weed that needs to be pulled, what about "the religion of peace:" Islam? Jehovah's Witnesses may have directly affected some people's lives, but many people feel religion in general is a threat to society: 21st century thinking compared to the bronze age."
OK, I rarely log on but having only gotten as far as the above quote and being pleasantly amused by the thread, I have to say I can't follow what one sentence above has to do with the next. I guess I'm too far from the jw line/style of "reasoning."

Is this why you're known as Snowbird?
I googled it and can see why you would have enjoyed going there. It looks like a wonderful place!
we set up a trust a few years ago but have an appointment with our attorney later this month to make sure it is current and make any changes necessary.
originally we had our daughter and our two sons to share equally.
now i feel that it should not be equal.
I would ask myself what the chances are of the money left to this daughter ending up in the hands of the organization.
i'm curious, because in my 40's i felt like a million dollars.
i am starting to feel it,....i just don't have the stamina of working in the yard all day, coming in making dinner and getting the laundry done at the same time, or working full time.. i see the years in my face when i don't get enough sleep, and no amount of makeup makes a difference.
my eyes seem to always look tired.
I hit 60 last year; it was the only difficult number I've had. Most of the time I feel great, don't think about age and still feel young. Once in a while it hits me like a cold blast; I'm more than half-way through life! I guess I just take it one day, one year at a time.

i am at the point in my custody battle where i need to decide if i'm gonna "go for the gold" and bring religion into the fight.
my lawyer thinks i have a chance based on the parental alienation aspect of the religion.
i'm df'd and my kids are being raised to turn against me.
Michelle, do you share them equally, time wise? He can do a lot of damage in that way. I think you should listen to your attorney and at least come up with some strategies if he gets really bad. And it's TERRIBLE for children that age to be made to feel guilty. It's so totally bad for them to feel that way. Do you have a child/family therapist? I strongly recommend you and they see someone; that person can always go to bat for you in front of the court. jw's are high control, an evil cult, and will stop at nothing to steal your kids emotionally and mentally given a chance. Your husband does not sound reasonable; please try to have some strategy to combat what he's telling your kids.
rep. john dingell (d-mi), the dean of the house of representatives for being the longest serving member of the body (he was first elected in 1955, succeeding his father, rep. john dingell, sr.), made an amazing admission during a live telephone interview with detroit wjr news/talk 760 radio talk show host paul w. smith on smith's show monday morning, march 22, 2010. the night before, dingell had been a featured speaker at the democrat congressional leadership victory press conference after obamacare passed the house.. in response to a question posed by smith, dingell said:.

we are bringing it to a halt.
Me, too, Elsewhere. I'd like to see the context; he may have been talking about the need to control the insurance industry.
just ask our vice president joe biden.
once again, he has put his foot in his mouth by dropping the f-bomb when he shakes obama's hand.. granted... i'll take biden's "this is a big f*cking deal" over dick cheney's "go f*ck yourself" any day.
