  We talk a lot about conditional friends on here

  by cappytan in

  so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.

  real friendships aren't conditional.".

  i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.

  I think the question is would a good friend sleep with their friends partner? What does it say about the guy who was probably sleeping with both women? And what does it say about the friend who was acting like a good friend whilst having sex with their friends husband behind her back?

  thought she was gonna take a pic of me on the sneak.

  im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.

  so she probably would have gotten away with it without anyone knowing.....except that her flash was on.

  No idea what caller id is as I'm from the UK :) but I'm guessing it's your number. Bless her - well if you like her I say go for it

  Update - just got it so you can recognise her number :)

  dating even though not scripturally free to do so

  by seekingadvice in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  wondering what to think...i'm recently divorced from my jw spouse ( i was never a jw).

  we have a 11 year old son who is being forced to attend meetings and have all the beliefs that ex has.

  i'm constantly being told what i should do and i'm supposed to go along with ex on whatever he says because apparently the "head of the family" continues after divorce in his world.

  I hope no one think I'm hijacking this thread, just wanted to add my thoughts. My wife and I separated about 10 months ago. I miss being in a relationship. If I found someone I wanted to be in a relationship with then I don't see any reason I couldn't be. (I faded about 4 months btw)

  I don't want to play devils advocate but if you're divorced does it matter whether you or your ex is in a new relationship. Surely you're the only one getting hurt/cut up by it? I think if my wife started dating someone of what concern would it be to me? Just saying anyway :)

  definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

  me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

  debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

  I have it on good authority Chelmsford is continuing as normal. However, all KH builds and refurbs have been stopped.

  Canadian Bethel among the secretive charities

  interesting canadian information on popular charities.

  regarding the "cushion" factor that mentions how many years these charities could continue to function without a single donation remember that the wt brranches download all proceeds directly to new york.. classic cult conduct in handling donated fundswith minimal transparency.

  What is interesting looking at the financial report is that expenses practically doubled in 2014 from 2013. And whilst revenue in 2014 increased by 23.60% aparently there was a deficit both years.

  portishead congregation in north somerset is being merged or disbanded on sept 1st 2015 due to "aging elders, poor attendance, decrepit kingdom hall and landslip" - of course the suspicion is wt just wants to sell the hall off.
