hmmmm...can't quite remember. I think when I stopped going to meetings, I stopped turning in time. The elders may have asked my husband for my time, I'm not sure. They pretty much left me alone, thankfully.

My JW Husband Got a "Privilege" Back - UGH!
by worldlygirl inmy jw husband came home from his meeting yesterday a little later than usual, and when i asked him where he had been, he said he had to meet with the elders after the meeting.
well, it seems that even though he is reinstated, he has to ask for each of his"privileges" back one at a time.
nothing like prolonging the agony!!

I am so sorry. You must be going crazy! I'm sure I would have reacted the same way. After all, when you got married, he didn't have anything to do with the religion, he was away from it. Then after you are married, he decides to go back. That just seems so unfair, so of course you have every right to be angry. He has changed, and all because of a stupid cult. I wish I had some great advice to give you, but I don't. Every one else here has given great advice, so read thru and see which suits you best. Good luck!!!!
( and by the way, you have mail )

I was watching Conan last night too.Pretty funny stuff.Like the group of guys who took turns doing shots then stomping on a land mine. Too funny. or the guy who used a bullet for a blown fuse in his car and *ahem* blew off his "sensitive area". These people definately should not be breeding!

I don't have any additional advice to offer, because everyone else said it so well. Just please follow the advice to contact your doctor as soon as possible.I have been where you're at, and I know how hard it can be. And being the strong one all the time is very difficult, I know. I found help through medication ( which I have been off for over two years now )and therapy together. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I wish you the very best. Please take care and be well.
Feel free to email me also, at [email protected].

My fourteen year old loves the Harry Potter books. He got his in the mail on Saturday. Funny thing is though, at the grocery store where I work, they put the book out at around 10 PM, so I could have just gotten it then.
My son keeps trying to get me to read the books, but I'd just as soon watch the movies as they come out. I prefer a little more grown-up read myself.
Btw, he finished the book the next day!

This is so funny. In Boston the number belongs to a dentist office, and they are getting a little agrivated over it. They had a little blip about it on the news the other night.
Btw, I saw the movie and thought it was hilarious. I loved it when Jim Carreys character was trying to figure out a more organised way of dealing with all the prayers, so he decided to use the internet. Instead of Yahoo, the web page was YAHWEH ( and they sang the little jingle singing YAHWEH instead of Yahoo ), and it said " You have prayers ". Too funny.
