  i just heard on the radio that actor/dancer buddy ebsen passed away at the age of 95. what a long career he had, i remember him dancing with shirley temple in some of her early movies.

  he was the original actor for the role of the tin woodsman in "the wizard of oz" - but was allergic to the make up and replaced.

  but most of us remember him as jed clampett on "the beverly hillbillies.

  My dad (not a JW) always says deaths happen in threes.

  They gave many people enjoyment through their acting for many years.

  Great song, Scully...I think you should publish it.

  1000 posts, i thought it would never happen.

  i originally joined and lurked for the longest time, before i started posting on a regular basis.. this board was a place of comfort through justification.

  i still clung to some old feelings of dread, and the old "what if?

  i stopped by a store today to pick up a few things - forgetting completely about the big "convention" that is going on nearby.

  while i was in the check out i noticed a number of people dressed up in the deli area with badges on.

  so i thought to myself.........should i?

  How many of you are remarried to a "WORLDLY" spouse and are HAPPIER now?

  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.

  Wow, reading what you wrote in the beginning of this thread sounds exactly what I have gone through. It sounds like I was married to the same guy you were, Jessica.

  I have a wonderful " worldy" man in my life now that treats me just like the bible says your mate should treat you. When I look back on my life married to a "brother" I wonder how in the world I stayed in that marriage so long. The bible says the only reason you can get scripturally free is adultry. So I made sure I was free.

  For those who raised children "in the truth"

  whose children have left "the truth".... .

  i don't even know where to begin to broach this subject with my daughters (should they ever speak to me again.

  they are not witnesses, and were never baptized, they are angry at me for something else).... .

  I was raised "in the truth" and was inactive at times. When my oldest daughter was about 12 my husband and I started going back to meetings. I was kind of on and off for about 10 years and towards the last few years of that 10 year spell she became very determined to become a pioneer. She married a ministerial servant. I was disfellowshipped last year and she talked to me right before I was and told me that she would never talk to me again. I told her that was her choice. I began to think what would she do if I went back to meetings and got reinstated....would she still not talk to me? I told my son and my youngest daughter (both of whom don't want the "truth") it's a good thing Jehovah is forgiving, cause people sure aren't. It's because of this narrowminded attitude that I wonder if I hadn't gone back to meetings and let her grow up without it, what would she be doing right now.....talking to me or not? She and I were very close and now.....nothing. My ex-husband still goes to meetings, is an alcoholic, lies to people and does many things that are against bible principles. My daughter still talks to him and not to me. Who'd a thunk it?
