So my JW wife cheated on me. Need some help or at least a sympathetic ear.

by JonathanH in

jw
friends

i have neither friends nor family to turn to.

the result of being born in a cult.

but i need to talk about this.

No one knows what is going through her mind and in order for you to both put this past you and move on you will need counseling and a pledge to not do it again..she needs to get a separation or divorce if she can't control herself..it isn't fair to you.

She apparently isn't happy with the arrangement she has and is looking elsewhere for something she is lacking at home. (Not saying you are doing anything wrong)

And it sounds to me like you are making excuses and trying to make it "look" like you aren't suspicious of her and you trust your wife..it may come accross that way to her also. It sounds like you don't trust her. (With good reason)

Jus my 2 cents worth..

Snoozy..Married for 35 years and been through it all.

I also wanted to add that I recommend a counselor because too often the husband and wife end up in a blaming game..instead of a sharing of needs.

Take the bus instead of driving drunk

by Jim_TX in

i would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving.

as you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.. .

well, over the weekend my friend & i attended a christmas party & knowing full well we may have been over the limit, i decided to do something i've never done before - take a bus home!.

Snoozy

I got it...

Snoozy..

Since my daughter has a Limo company I might recommend hiring a limo for the night? Treat yourself. Course they charge you if you don't barf in the bucket they provide..

viewing porn makes you demonised!

by highdose in

or so claims every jw i've ever met.

porn also makes you turn into a sexual deviant who is likely to become a homosexual, rapist or peadofile.. .

porn has specail powers that once viewed allows the demons to get into your mind and start controling it!!.

Snoozy

It's true! Just put a piece of cake in front of an overeater or a bottle of beer in front of an alcoholic..

Out of sight out of mind.

The more you see the more you want.

It's called an addiction..

There is also a big difference between having sex and making love..and I can see how some would say it (porn)could make you a selfish lover.

I think many just settle for sex because they can't find love..

I also believe the bible got at least that one thing right..moderation in all things is the way to go.

Why don't JWs do much in the way of charity work?

by ilikecheese in

jw
friends

so i argue with the boyfriend a lot about the fact that i think charitable work is every bit as important as preaching when it comes to serving god.

every church i've ever gone to has some sort of community outreach, if not several outreaches, that have little or nothing to do with preaching.

and i made the point that if these people know you're affiliated with a church, they'll think a little more kindly about christians, too, which would help in the whole witnessing arena.

Snoozy

When I was a witness I did my share of baby sitting and cleaning sick peoples houses and doing their laundry, running errands, staying with the elderly when they were sick..taking the ones without transportation to the meetings..doing odd jobs for those unable to . Contributing to ones in need..I even did their hair and laundry when they pioneered..I did my share!

The boy that visited Heaven

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42191453/ns/today-today_people/t/meet-boy-who-says-he-visited-heaven-saw-jesus/#.tuzkdfbcbdc.

what's your idea of heaven ?

a little boy from nebraska thinks he has a good idea because he said he's been there.

Snoozy

My daughter keeps wanting me to read the book..like that will make me believe in heaven as she does..
I don't think so.

Well at least she got rid of that JW teaching from when she was a child..

Did anyone else catch tonights new episode of Two and a half men where they mentioned Jehovah's Witnesses on it?

by StoneWall in

jw
friends

i was in middle of transitioning channels and it caught me off guard when i heard it but was something about jw's at the door and they kept ringing the doorbell.. didn't catch the whole episode so went to cbs.com and they haven't posted the one that aired tonight yet but it should be up soon, next couple days and maybe i can post a link then to it.. anyways was just curious if maybe someone else saw it and could fill in the details about what led to that discussion about jw's on there..

Snoozy

Copied it and watching it now..I'll let you know.

Snoozy

OK all I saw was Waldon asked his mom about his brother.It turns out his brother was a gorilla. He asked why his brother (the gorilla) was sent back to the jungle when he was small and his mom said "We had to send him back. He tried to eat a Jehovah's Witness". Allen then started to make a comment but Waldon asked his mom something else..

Later Allen said his brother (when he was drunk) also tried to kill a Jehovah Witness because they kept ringing that Darn bell.

Social Security benefits for dependant children

by moshe in

jw
friends

i went to the social security office and asked for my retirement earnings benefit printout, as i am planning on signing up at age 62 next year.. many people don't know this, but if you have a dependant child (some stipulations apply) under the age of 18 living in your home and you claim them on your tax return, you can get a social security check for them until they turn 18.. how much is it?

it will be 50% of your normal retirement age benefit amount- two or more children will get you more- up to the maximum family amount- which might be less, if you have a spouse drawing off your earnings record.. so, if you know of anyone who fits in this category who isn't getting a check for their child, have them go to the ss office and apply, asap!

i believe, they pay retroactive benefits.

Snoozy

I heard that you have to be married for at least 10 years to collect on a spouses SS. I found out there are other circumstances where they can still collect if you are not married that long.

I would urge any who lost a spouse (or is divorced and getting ready to retire) to really dig for answers and don't take no lightly.

A lot depends on if you have a minor child etc.
