  hey all.

  mr. flipper.

  when in the witnesses, the fanciful thought is put forward that the main thing important in a marriage is the "threefold cord" having god in your marriage.

  We were young and he was my real second b/f we just had things in common and he had a great understanding of me and my quirky ways.

  He showed me the light and it was my final transition of leaving the JWs.

  we were married for 4 years we had our ups and downs i guess i was insecure about a lot of things and we separated and divorced.

  We both had new partners for a few years and then so reason within months of our relationships ending we got talking and realised that we had grown up and we started being with each other more we just clicked and we both had wanted our family to be together again.

  So cut a long story short we got back together both stronger and happier people and had another child together and now i couldn't be more in love with him now then what i was all those years ago.

  He just gets me and i get him.

  I think i was always an open minded JW.

  But the difference now is that my eyes are more open now to reflect on how actually closed minded the JW really are.

  I gess i got all my questions answered years later when i was able to see the light.

  Apparently, I'm not just heartbroken because of my mother...

  from http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/136861/1.ashx : .

  variable angina.. its when the arteries in your chest randomly all squeeze up just to piss you off.. the doctor said that this isn't heart disease and it wasn't caused by high cholestoral (mine is right on the money) and it shouldn't happen again- this was a fluke.. the doctor was really kind and nice and said that with the amount of pain i felt there's no way i should have maintained consciousness, much less been able to drive 25 minutes and then go to sleep.. then we ended up talking about genital piercings and body modification in general (my xray was lol.

  ) he was really kind and said pretty much, let's hope it never happens again.. .

  Posting Here: secretly or openly?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. social
  2. family

  just curious, how many of you have to hide the fact that you post here from family?

  i'm especially thinking of those with spouses who are in, while they themselves either never were, faded, dfed/daed, etc but if you are a child hiding it from parents, that applies too.

  if you are posting secretly, how secretive do you have to be?

  Are You Afraid Of Death?

  by serotonin_wraith in

  2. beliefs

  i'm not afraid at all.

  i'd like to experience a full life, and do the things i want to do before i die, but death itself just doesn't frighten me.. i was unconscious for several hours last night as i slept, and experiencing nothing feels absoluely fine.

  before i was born, i went through the same thing- nothing (for several billion years or more infact).

  Not of death but how it comes about.

  I would like to live a full life and be able to accomplish the things i want but also being able to say goodbye.

  I would like it not to be painful or slow.

  But when your time is up its up.

  I have already used up one life (should have died as a baby thanks to the miricale of drs) so i guess thats why i try to life each day to the fullest.

  Bad biblical names for a child

  by erandir in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the practice of choosing biblical names for children is present in many forms of christianity.

  in latin america, countless boys are named jesus either as a first name or second name.

  there is even that singer jesus jones.

  Not that these are bad names but i grew up with a JW boy and his name was Micah.

  Another one that i knew from another cong was Levi.

  But when i had children i knew that i wasn't going to name them anything biblical and nothing with links with the bible.

  Now i have 2 very unique names for them. As my name is hebrew and my hubbys name is Joseph so we wanted not so plain names, but easy enough for people to spell and say, even though our sons name is easy we still have a lot of poeple have troubles with it.
