  Hi Jurs. I think most people go through this when they are married or even just in a long-term relationship. Things get boring and you start to take one another for granted.

  You say your husband is a S.O.B.. What is wrong with him?

  I don't want to pass judgment but I think you should really think about this. If the other guy is married I think you better find out for certain if his relationship is over or not. If he is separated and his wife is thinking of taking him back I don't think you would want to have any part in stopping that from happening.

  Why are you still with your husband?

  maybe the seriousness of the evening will help him to be calm ad truly christian-like.

  If he upset and says anything to you about not attending ask him this question:

  Do you think Jesus Christ would come back from the memorial in such a bad mood and judge me for not attending?

  Dub Fads

  by In_between_days in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were a jw, did you witness a rather large enthusiasm from your congregation for passing fads?

  what i mean is, one dub would start something and everyone would join in?

  this was especially prevelant with the women of the congregations.. for instance, for a while every female dub was undertaking this strange diet where they basically drink this really odd and particularly disturbing looking mushroom that they kept in their fridge.

  Walking into the hall was like a 70's disco sometimes, even though this was the 90's.

  LOL that was funny.

  i remember the mellaleuka craze. "worldies" were into that too. LOL

  I am going too. Yesterday I told my boyfriend ( he hates all religion especially JWs) I am going tonight. He said I am weak and I shouldn't go just to please my hypocritical family. I know he is right but I am going anyways.

  Daughter counselled on dating a wordly guy

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughter recieved this email from one of her witness "friends".

  she is counseling my daughter (indirectly) about her choice to date a "worldly" guy.. hey, so, we had a talk recently that was about love & respect in your marriage.

  the brother brought out that this was more for us witnesses rather than worldly people, because it seems that even in the truth now marriage has lost it's correct place.

  I would answer like I was not talking about myself, and make a reply similar to this

  Minimus tell your daughter to take Richard's advice. This is great! LOL

  Be sure to post the response letter on here.

  Good Idea Richard!!!!!!!!

  Are you planning anything special for Memorial?

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since i never partook of the bread and wine all the years i was a jw, thought it would be fun to attend this year's memorial and sample the matzo and hopefully some kosher wine.

  thought it might impress jws if i walked into the kh wearing a yarmulke and a tallith (prayer shawl).

  anybody else plan to have some fun at the memorial?.

  I am going too. My family wants me to go so to keep them quiet I will go.

  I don't know if I will attend my old hall or go somewhere else. Part of me wants to put myself in the mix of them just to prove to myself I can say no thank you when they ask if they can visit me.

  But at the same time I am scared I am still too weak and I may cave in and say yes to a shepherding call.

  The good thing is if I go to my old hall I can get there just before it starts and leave right after. Everyone will be hurrying out of there allow the next congregation to come in.

  But with my Luck they just might corner me long enough to try and work their gimmick.

  I never thought in a million years..

  by thegentleman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that i would love a jw gal.. deep down i am a hopeless romantic at heart.

  i had given her a heart-shaped necklace and i told her "that this symbolizes me giving my heart to you".

  we have been through good times and bad , maybe its just me, i go all out when i'm passionate about something.

  thegentleman,

  You seem like a really great guy. You are in a tough situation. I can relate to your story. I was the JW girl who dumped the "devil". I regretted it for a long time afterward. She may change her mind when she realizes what she gave up.

  I wouldn't try to push her. Give her some time.

  I do not think there is only one perfect person for you or anyone else. I know you feel like this now but time will take away the pain and offer hope.

  I hope she changes her mind and goes back to you without being involved in her religion. I think that is the only way you two can be truly happy together. Other wise there will always be divisions between the two of you.

  I wish the best for you and I hope others on this board can offer you better advice.

  If she doesn't take you back I'll take you.

  I hope I was not too insensitive.
