  I NEED AN OPERATION!

  by Maddie in

  2. friends

  i have just been told that i have an ovarian cyst and need an operation to remove it.

  apparently ihave had it a long time and it is a rather bizarre form of cyst called a dermoid cyst.

  i was wondering if any of the ladies on jwn have had the same type or know anything about them?

  i was in the student union bldg, and i saw a table with all kinds of religious books and magazines laid out on it, with two men sitting behind it.. i couldn't resist, i just had to ask.

  i picked one of the books to look for who published it.

  Out and feeling lost, with no friends? Have faith! (my uplifting experience :D)

  2. experiences

  maybe not many of you remember my anguish through the last year since i joined jwn.

  in the meantime i lost my wife (the official divorce is due in ~two weeks), lost all my friends (thank god no family though, except the wife), battled the wts and sort-of lost.

  just like most of you when you got through this experience i was lost and confused, coult not found my place in life.. i owe much gratitude to this board for giving me the much needed information and support that i am not alone, and what i'm feeling is not something unusual.

  Ladies: How do I get her to stop flirting without being mean?

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however i'm not interested in her.

  so far i'm just acting as though i'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting.

  ladies, how do i make her stop without being mean?

  Short Men... and their refusal to use the Short Uninals... a threat to all of human civilization.

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have recently noticed a very fascinating phenomenon in men's restrooms: short men always use the "tall" urinals, even when it violates the "unspoken social contract of using the restroom" for men (ladies, please view the entire instructional video below before asking any questions).. .

  i was suspicious that the short guys were doing this, but this morning i found conclusive evidence in the form of a short man blatantly violating the "unspoken social contract of using the restroom" for men this morning at work.

  i was quite shocked and taken aback at this guy's blatant disregard for the rules (thereby threatening all of civilization as we know it) by using the wrong urinal.. here at work most men follow the social contract and use the urinal that is furthist from the door, which happens to be a "short" urinal for short people.

  wife took it pretty well i guess...it's over...

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess it only took three years, but they were hell in so many ways for both of us...she was not happy and lived in denial as much as possible...i was not happy and lived in a bottle as much as possible and glad that is over for me....but it was one of the saddest things i have ever experienced in my life....as was the visit to my parents before i told her....but yes...she said she kind of expected it...was thinking something was going to happen soon as she noticed i had more and more trouble saying i love you back to her when she said it on the phone at the end of goodbyes...and when i was leaving the house...i had noticed it for over a year and it was killing me..... i told her how sorry i was for changing so much again....and that she still walks on water...and is a great person and so pretty....and that she will be ok because she was happy single before me for many years and had all she needs for that again...her closeness to jehovah and her freinds in the congregation...she is very close to both and will be ok i hope...it was very surreal....very calm...very sad.

  my bitterness and disdain for wt rules came through when talking to my parents and i was very open about how i feel as to their upcoming shunning of me, and how it feels to my son since he was just 17....and how the fear of losing them had kept me trying in my marriage for the past few years...dad was firm in his position of future action....mom said they will still always love me...and will still talk to me until i get dfd.....oh how this hurts.....dad said there is a name for people who only live for themselves and deny god but could not think of what it was....i told him i was not living just for myself...that i am a good person and there are values from him and the bible i hope i always have....i cry so hard as i type this and tell you just so you can know how painful this is....i told him i so loved the rule of treating others how you want to be treated and have always done that...even allowing myself to be wronged on so many occasions to keep peace....... he said that was a good rule....i agreed and said it was a big one too....and that while i could do it...treat him the way i would like to be treated...he would not be able to!.......left as i became emotional...big hug from mom, but i just barely put an arm on dad............oompa.

  "origins" of things like holidays...what jw started this crap?

  by oompa in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i do not believe there is any bible precedent for the wt teaching that the origin of some celebration is important...as in it is pagan...and back in 1914 holidays and b-days were ok...i know that changed, but why?...why did all of a sudden it matter the origin of it?...i tried to get wife to see the folly of the wt position of saying pinatas dont matter now despite an evil disgusting satanic wicked origin...to no avail.

  on a side note of similar interest...who came up with the teaching inanimate objects could be possessed by demons when it never happened in the bible and how often do they do that anymore?.........thanks....see i can still be serious!.......oompa.

  Our first Halloween

  by darthfader in

  2. friends

  mrs fader and i went over to a friends house to hand out candy.

  we only lightly prepared for the occasion, with just a few cool clothing items like funky hats and shirts, but we bought lots of candy.

  we initially expected only a few kids and we would be left with a bunch of late night snacks, but we were "cleaned out".
