Thank you for this post. May I add my 2 cents in here? I apologize to anyone I may offend, but what they do when they dance around a subject like wrong dates (false prophesies) they have given as ABSOLUTE TRUTH, calling them wrong expectations, is called covering their asses! They have no new light! They're dim bulbs.

It's just facebook. It's supposed to be fun. Block her from seeing anything on your wall so she cannot see what you are posting or liking. Then you don't have to worry about what she is seeing. I know some people who "creep" on others pages, and if the settings are not there, they can see things whether you are friends or not. One of my husbands nephews tried to do this to me. He tried to friend me, and told my husband they could spy on me that way. My husband thought that was OFF THE WALL CREEPY and told me not to friend anyone from that family. I learned how to block certain people from seeing anything but basic info. You might be wise to do the same. At least she will still speak to you, that's something, right? This way you can keep it cordial. Just my 2 cents.

Hopefully, with time, your children will come around. I hope you can find something interesting to keep you occupied today so you don't have too much time to think about this.

When some of the old time JW's time is up i wonder what they think in their private moments.
by karter inwe had an old time jw pass away recently he lived his entire life lie the new system was going to be here tomorrow.. he was a gillard grad and went on to be missionry in west africa.. came back home when wife got pregent(they eventuly had 3 children) ,sold everything pre 75 to see the system out and pioneer then had to work his butt off to rebuild his finances and put a roof over his familys head.. he retired and became a co till his wifes health could no longer alow it.. he got a treminal illness and i wonder in his quiter moments did he think ....".ive lived my entire life for a dream that never came true".
he's only one of many i see,their lives comming to an end and the new system is no closer than it was when they started.. .

Looking for a partner.....
by LouBelle inrighto, so who would like to get married?
i'm a great cook, good with kids, can clean and am currently in the process of losing weight.
in 6 months i'm good to go.

I think the advertising profession is just a tough one, Loubelle. My one child also had an advertising/pr degree with a couple of specializations. She has had a couple of internships, and had disliked the one, and now has a job that is certainly not her dream job, but she is getting experience and paying her bills. I think you just have to get some time under your belt and keep applying for other positions. Don't get discouraged, at least you have something, and you know it's not forever. You will get something that you like better. And all the best on your journey to lose weight. I am doing the same thing, but it is slow going. I'll be rooting for you. And you certainly don't sound like someone who needs a partner to be happy! Your posts sound like a woman who really has it together.

That is awesome, married. Sounds like you know how to handle things without being confrontational. I hope you keep dropping seeds, cause you know your wife certainly is. Well done! Have a great weekend!

Has leaving the truth( i hate that word) caused you to do things now that you would not have normally done ?
by sieborg inalthough we all know that there are many disadvantages of being brought up ( vomit sound) in the truth.
but would you say that leaving has maybe caused you to do some things that you would not have normally have done in life ?
for me personally now i have lots of free time ( mine all mine, evil laugh) i have almost finished my first novel.

It's not the truth, sieborg, so you don't have to call it that. Old habits die hard, don't they? You could perhaps just call it the WT.

How do I keep from being an enabler while not appearing like Satan
by marriedtoajw inone thing that i havn't mentioned in any of my posts is that i have a 26 year old son along with the 4 kids that my wife and i have together.

Retrovirus is absolutely correct in saying NO MONEY OR HANDOUTS. It will be a harsh reality check for him. A 21 y.o. with no job experience and only (I assume) a high school education does not get to be picky And please consider using your status as head of the household in telling your wife she is not to give him spending money, either. While it sounds harsh, you are doing him no favors. He will be ill equipped to handle the future if things continue on like this. Job or school. And please find a way to keep your 8 y.o. from the kh as much as possible, and active with outside friends/activities. All the best to you. I hope you and your oldest son can prevent losing your other children to this religion.
