do you think romantic relationships work better in the long run if both partners are roughly intellectual equals?.

There are way too many variables for a definitive answer.

The sad thing is that most in their youth do not know what they will want when they're older.

My Successful Fade

by Darth Rutherford in

it's been a while since i've posted anything about myself.

i've been on jwn for a couple of years.

my leaving the organization was not because i lost my faith, but i left because of my faith.

It feels like a twin life to mine, only you're farther up the road than me.

"The worse fear was that she and I would survive Armageddon and then I'd be stuck with her for all eternity! If that had happened, I was going to be the first suicide in paradise!"

Always loved Meatloaf - for a few years now, the lyrics have a lot more meaning.

Thanks for the post.

He should have read the red parts in court.

Interesting that the elder said that it's okay to say Hi! at the supermarket.

Help With Legal Project - Children in Judicial Meetings

by berrygerry in

an acquaintance in canada is making a serious attempt at ending children being forced, or coerced, to attend a judicial meeting.. are there any here who had to attend such a meeting, and would be willing to contribute their feelings?.

likewise, any who were baptized as minors, but felt later that at the time of their baptism, they were not old enough to have made that decision..

The walkout is already happening, a young JW I've known since birth just left her parents when they were out of town.

She was the last person that I would have expected.

The concern is the amount of mental/emotional damage that is being done, whether they eventually leave or not.

Has anyone noticed in the NWT book of Psalms, some of them the "S" is left off

by Legacy in

i was at a meeting.

we were in psalms..i don't know why i was looking at the other books of psalms, & noticed that the"s" was left off of psalms...don't remember what chapters, being i don't have my bible with me now....check it out for yourselves.

i will come back when i find it myself.

Gosh, guys.

My dad would mock all of you.

He had a Grade VI education and was anal about grammar - caught every little thing.

He would read the dictionary (as does my 11-year old ????) - who does that?

Anyways, 2 points. The book of Psalms does NOT have chapters, so saying Psalms chapter 6 is wrong. It would be the same as saying "Let's stand and sing Song chapter 6."

Likewise, we are usually referring to one Psalm at a time.

For several years, the WT articles have spelled Psalm, instead of abbreviating it, to try and help pronunciation.

The new NWT is done correctly.

If there is 1 Psalm on a page, it says Psalm at the top.

If there is more than 1 Psalm on a page, it says Psalms.

Jehovah's Witnesses's Matthew 24:14 Good News of the Kingdom.. A different Good News Galatians 1:9

by objectivetruth in

jehovah' witnesses use matthew 24:14, and their world wide preaching work, as proof, that they are the only "organization" that is doing jehovah's will.. what if the good news that they are preaching is a false good news or as paul would call it "a different good news"?

is there any value to a world wide preaching work, that is preaching a false good news?

or should that entire work be accursed?.
