10!
He's cute, makes me laugh, we are best friends, he is romantic, he listens, we enjoy hanging out together, never fight, ... in fact I don't think I have one complaint about him.
i figured since there was a rate your wife topic, i would do the other.
if it has been already done, please disregard this.
what number 1-10 is your hubby?

did you live through it.
i'm 55 and doing a master's thesis.
i hope i live through it.. .
My husband did his and said he didn't have friends, no girlfriend, no nothing except school that year. He ate, breathed, slept, worked SCHOOL. But he did it and is happy he made it. It's something to do with engineering that I still don't understand. It's a HUGE accomplishment. Good luck !!!!
just got my memorial invite.
the only thing new about this year, is my knowledge ... due mostly from finding this site.
i normally take the invite from my mom, tuck it away to hit the trash along with those mags she leaves all time.
I'm with Jez, nothing I will ever say will change her mind. She can live in her fantasy land. I don't care anymore.

cnn is reporting that a neighbor confessed to kidnapping and killing her.
this neighbor is a registered sex offender.
The thing is the guy is now 72 yoa, and he will be given 20 years or whatever. He will end up dying in prison, but in the meantime he will also be given the best healthcare and treatment. He really should be put in a yard with the raging pit bulls who they are about to put to sleep in Orlando for biting someone. They will put a dog down, but not a pedophile. I say put them together.
i am just giggling myself inside out with the stupid antics regarding the march 20 release of the new org book.. of course, in great irony, only the apostates seem to know what's going on.. meanwhile in the congregations, a excitment tinged with mystery and suspense is tweaking the r&f.
my entire book study was just about begging the conductor for any hint.. to emphasize the surprise, congregations that meet on saturday (march 19) are actually moving their public/wt meetings to sunday just for the event.
just imagine the drool letdown when they find out the truth, that old br.
I would love to be there jumping up and down and screaming "Yeah another book of organization rules!" like a cheerleader. Just what we need, what special "food at the proper time"
you know i've been fading for 18 months now.
i come from a smallish city of about half a dozen congregations so just about everyone knows everyone so its not such an easy thing to do.
growing up as a jdub was so hard and awful.
It takes a lot of courage to take the first step. I'm glad you're at least aware of what an effect they had on you. I too was raised by a single JW mother, my father wasn't in the picture at all. But that made us outcasts even though we did everything we possibly could. It's so difficult trying to gain acceptance from them.
Couseling really helped me. You might want to think about it, but for sure having good friends makes such a huge difference. Good for you!
Stick around, you'll see you're not a lone at all.
i just dont get how people can stay in a religion that constantly changes the "truth".
never mind the scandals, that is a seperate issue.
but the foundation of a religion is its doctrine, how can you believe an organiztion that constantly changes it.
An exd-witness told me that the reason she loved the "truth" was because it answered all her questions. If you had a question, they had an answer. Well, finally it didn't add up anymore, but it was a nice neat little box of beliefs, no more questioning why.
there is apparently no chance at all of her ever recovering from her present state, but do you think she should live or die?
for myself, i think she's better off dead than living---no, existing---in her present state.
i for one, have instructed my family to let me die if something like this ever happened to me.
The thing is, feeding tubes are removed every day. When they have a living will in place. They quietly and peacfully are allowed to die with dignity, there is no spectacle. This case shows the importance of having a living will.

She starved her body for years due to her own actions, bulimia, and weakened her muscles including her heart muscle. I'm not blaming her, just think that her own actions contributed to the fact her body can't recover.
Her husband could have pulled the plug on her years ago but has done everything legally and the proper way. If he wanted her dead to cover something up, he would have done it already. I think that's BS. She married her husband that makes him her legal decision maker, her parents need to accept that and let her go.
IF that had ever happened to me I would rather have died a long time ago than be turned into a public spectacle. There is NO quality of life there. Every Doctor has said there is not chance for recovery. Just allow her some peace and dignity.
I will never forget how my mom learned the "truth" from the "truth" book... I never read the thing. Maybe I should and see what the fuss was all about. Personally I was from the generation with the "Live Forever" book and loved placing it and showing them the paradise pics. But yes, it's been replaced. After all there is HUGE emphasis on the 1914 doctrine and any reasonable person can't make those numbers compute anymore. 1914 + 70 or 80 years = 1994. Well shucks, it's 2005. What went wrong????
