Thank you, that is nice.

I 'lurk' alot but the truth is I am very busy. My husband spends a lot of time on here and honestly I figure he posts enough for the both of us.

Is becoming a witness the right thing for me

i've been struggling for quite some time now about continuing my exploration of the jehovah witness faith.

i am a "cradle" catholic and have been very involved with the church.

i started to become disillusioned several months back with all of the tradition, habits, and teachings of the church--which i began to seriously doubt.

does anyone have a recipe for making a cold pack which won't freeze solid?

i've looked in pharmacies for them and don't want to spend the money they charge for them.

Badges for Conventions

by ThomasCovenant in

each year name badges are handed out at the kingdom halls for those attending the upcoming district convention.

i have always refused to wear one but this was not a major issue as i would say only about 50% wore them anyway.

however i noticed that as the years went by more and more 'brothers' were wearing them including during the lunch break in the city centre concerned.

I was cornered as well for not having a badge, it was very rude. Talk about getting the 3rd degree

Can you prepare solid meals?

by greendawn in

can you prepare interesting solid meals or do you not have the flare for it and instead prefer to live on take aways, restaurant meals or simple casual snack meals at home?

i find it hard to concentrate on cooking though i always want to do it and i have actually put together some interesting recipes several times.

there is a strange resistance blocking me.

I love to cook. I have less time now with school and work but I love to record "Rachel Ray's, 30 minute meals", she has great ideas and tasty.

My husband and I will be celebrating over 11 years of marriage and our anniversary is coming up. I should be excited but I am not. Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly but I am already setting myself up for a disappointment. In 10 years of marriage I have gotten a few cards and less gifts and he hates to make dinner reservations. We go to dinner but he is always distracted and seems bored. Being raised as Jw's you would think that only having to celebrate one day a year would be easy, no BD's, or Christmas, etc. For me it is celebrating our love, the day we came together, our friendship. You would think that after 10 years I would stop being disappointed and get used to it but honestly it hurts my heart. I wonder if I am as important to him as he is to me. We have had this discussion and it never turns out well. We are both faders so honestly the holiday's are no big deal to us, his favorite line of reasoning of not being excited about anniversaries uese to be that they were no differant than b'days. Well since we are both considered 'apostates" by our family that doesn't hold water anymore. He says he loves me dearly but is not romantic. I never get flowers, surprises, back rubs,etc but believe me after a night of Xbox360 and ignoring me he is ready to have sex and would love something "special", if you know what I mean. Now I know I sound like a cry-baby but I have to vent. I can't tell anyone I know so I will vent to strangers, oh the beauty of internet. I am not perfect but I am not lazy nor am I a naggy woman. I backpack with him, camp with him, fish, work an outside job, keep the house, run the errands, make all meals, make his lunch and coffee, go to school etc and I am still considered very good looking. So I ask you, are all of you experiencing this with your husbands, or am I alone? How can I get through to him without being offensive, is it possible?
