  Has technology helped your marriage

  by KAYTEE in

  has technology helped your marriage, for instant instead of the newspaper stuck between you and the wife at breakfast, it is now the computer thus allowing "cross" communication between you both, and what about the television zappa who is in charge of that, obviously the man of the house, thus saving much time and effort for the poor wife who had to keep getting up to change channels.

  the dishwasher machine has now taken over in the kitchen, where once you would do this chore happily together???.

  what more !!

  * We need to talk......................You're in trouble

  This one is sooo true. Unfortunatly I didn't know that until a couple years ago. When I asked hubby to marry me I started the conversation with "we need to talk" he looked a little nervous. I told him I wanted to marry him and all the reasons why. He was so releaved! He says he thought I was going to ask him to shave his beard or have him commited

  "i was a fully committed evangelical christian for 13 years... i was excited to finally be saved... i was thrilled that i could finally understand and accept the truth... i became a fully devoted follower of jesus...i hit a wall when i began reading the old testament.

  there he was again, the cruel, angry, demanding ( my way or the highway ), bloody, murderous god i had always found in the old testament...i totally devoted myself to god and biblical principles.

  in the end i was depressed confused and terribly disillusioned.

  My Post-Cult Cathartism - Optimism

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my cup is half-full take on life.

  whilst it is an absolute that the years i spent in the borg were many.

  at this stage of my new-life outside, i am trying to maintain a high-moral-road view of the cause/effect relationship that it had on me and my life-view.. i believe that coming to the realization that not all of witness life is evil or corrupt or even wasted, is healthier for me than a constant negative rant about what it cost me.

  I can relate to your glass half full ideals. My life is pretty great right now. If I hadn't been raised the way I was I might not have what I do today. If my ex hadn't been such a turd I might have stayed with him and never met my wonderful husband.

  Yes, there were some bad times, some hard times, a couple nervous breakdowns.. but all of it led me to who I am and where I am today. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

  Life is good!

  Welcome!! You will find that you have a lot in common with people here.

  It looks like you've taken the best course for now as far as being "inactive." (I read your profile) I'm a "fader" myself. I still get backlash from family and this board has helped a lot.

  Be glad you got out while you were young. Many of us wasted way to much of our lives on that religion!

  hey, this is under jokes and humor, so don't get too offended.

  i just wanted to vent about how people say things incorrectly, such as pronouncing things wrong or saying phrases wrong.

  i'll start, and if you have any to add, please feel free.

  My favorite is "eXpresso" instead of "espresso." I guess they say it that way because the caffeine makes them go faster.

  I must be feeling brave to post on a thread about spelling and pronunciation. I'm lousy at both How did that go? Something about a rafter in my eye?

  withdrew the complaint "feeling herself to be under the pressure of the community and under the threat of being expelled" (from the Kingdom Hall).

  Those pigs!!!! They probably needed another witness to the acts in order to believe her, otherwise she was obviously making it all up and should be disfellowshipped.

  You Don't Have to See Stars and Fireworks (a bit long)

  watchtower, you have taken away our souls, in some cases our lives, and for many a fighting chance at finding true love and happiness.

  the ways can and have filled books.

  here i want to discuss one in particular.

  Have we met? Were you one of the elders that "encouraged" me to marry because I made out a few times with my boyfriend? Did you know he was gay? Were you one of the ones who counceled him to "settle down with a nice young sister" so he could "get over" his homosexual tendancies. Were you one of the elders in any of the many halls I attended while married and miserable? It had to have been obvious that I was depressed and hated myself, why didn't you help me? Were you one of the two elders who told me you couldn't help me with my marriage unless my husband asked for help? Were you one of the elders who never called when I quit going to meetings and left my husband? Loving shepherds indeed.

  Excellent, well thought out post, tsof. Obviously a sore point for me, but I'm over it, really...
