ex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.
how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?
did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Most of the time I would rather get on with it than otherwise.
Yeah, me too. Go figure...
I'm one who will apologize to my hubby for every small infraction under the sun, whether it requires one or not (i.e. too much dill in the soup, laundry piled on the couch etc.).
...the lasagna is too soupy... You do seem to take too much upon yourself Petty hon. You are not a master of the universe and neither are any of us. We all screw up (although the lasagna was excellent no matter what you say) and that's what makes us interesting. No one, no matter what they say, would be happy with any entirely perfect person around. The imperfections are what make us interesting. Love ya girlie!

Valis, I apologize when I have something to apologize for as well, at times, when I don't. If someone brings something up to me where I may have misstepped I'm fine with admitting it. However, sometimes, I take the blame for things that aren't my fault. It's very hard to understand someone's intentions through a medium such as the internet. I'd say I take the blame for things with sincerity 99% of the time. Only 1% is to keep others happy and that is mostly with close friends and family and not with people that I don't know very well. I hope that eases your mind on the subject.

you can't win an argument with the woman you are with. You should not even try. They will not let you win in the end. They don't play by the same rules a fellow man does. You are out classed when it comes to anticipating her logic. Be a man and take the hit and move on.
Mav, perhaps you are letting your bad experience color your remarks? Not all women are the same quite obviously. I think most sensible people, either gender, will apologize when they are in the wrong.
You can add me to the list of over apologizers. Even when I have nothing to apologize for, I still do it. I want everyone around me to be appeased. Sometimes at the detriment of my own happiness. The problem with this is that when I do apologize it's open to criticism. Am I really, sincerely sorry or am I just trying to keep everyone happy. I guess you'd be able to tell if you could hear my tone of voice.

first off, when it comes right down to it...everything should be questioned and i'm not sure if the following opinions i've formulated are good or not, but...what the hell.
america is too big.
it would be great if we could form four or five seperate nations from the union, but that simply is not going to happen and would be dangerous.
Yeru,
Defense has enough money? Nope, we're still under paid, and while it's improving there are some significant financial issues in the military re Logistics.
Defense does have enough money. It's the servicemen who are underpaid. It would be better if they spent more of their budget on salaries and benefits for the people of the military. My brother in law struggled with a family of four.
Bradley, we'll turn you into a good little pinko commie yet. If you don't like the television in the US you should come up to Canada sometime. We have a channel called SexTV. Of course there is always my personal favorites the NHL station and BBC Canada.

hey folks, .
setting aside any political differences ... the french government is looking to ban religious symbols in public, like a sikh wearing a turbine (except the see-through netted kind), muslims wearing head coverings, jews wearing the star of david, and christians wearing charismatic crosses (little tiny hard to see crosses will still be okay).
give me a break ... i loved the french for taxing the book publishing corporation known as the watchtower society ... but, while i respect the french on many levels (and not on other levels) ... do they realize how they are feeding into the prophetic orgasms of various religious cults and neo-nazi airheads?
First, the French are nutty.
Secondly, what does having people give up images and wardrobe that are sacred to their religion have to do with learning the national language of a country you've emigrated to?

I can't feel too much one way or the other about something that I doubt exists. If he/she/it exists I hope it's happy with the choices it's made. I love very few and I don't love anyone/anything that has been absent for me when I needed it most.
