I wasn't sure what the rule was, either. I laid in a big supply of candy, and anyone who came to my door got a big handful, including the parents and sullen teenage siblings accompanying the trick-or-treaters. Heck, even my boyfriend got some candy, and he's an old fella with white hair! You're never too old for candy.

Stephanus, I think the incident to which you refer was in Ray Franz's book Crisis of Conscience. I'm about 85% sure that's where I read it. If not, it was in Hassan's Blood on the Altar; still I'm pretty sure it was in C.O.C.

Saying "hi" leads to love and leaving your wife...
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! ini've been struggling so much with some old programming that i truly feel is from the witnesses, and my father in particular.
he always told me men and women couldn't be friends -- unless they were married or related -- because they'd fall in love with each other and leave their mates.
that's why you could only be friends with your own gender and were never allowed to be alone with someone of the opposite sex, even in a car.

Kitties- Even in the most secure and comitted relationships, it's normal to feel jealousy. Oddly, my boyfriend has more close female friends than male ones, while I hang mostly with guys. So, sure, there are moments when one or the other of us gets jealous. I tell my honey that it just means I care about him and our relationship, that we've not become apathetic.
On a practical note, the best way to keep feelings of distrust at bay is (of course) total honesty. We don't sneak off with our friends; the other partner knows if we're going to hang out, and is usually invited to come along. It took us both a while to reach this point of trust, as I was raised a witness, and he'd had girlfriends cheat on him in the past. But, it's so much better than distrusting each other, or feeling like I either have to stop hanging with my buddies, or do so without his knowledge. Best of luck to you, and just give it time.

OK, in a happier mood, here's my 2nd choice:
The Mango Biscuit Song
By Joel Veitch/Mike Baker
When I went off to see Ayer's Rock, I thought I'd buy a mango biscuit
Though I'd talked to several friends who said I really shouldn't risk it.
They said "biscuit mangoes, yes, but mango biscuits, that's a con!"
But I dug in my little heels, and I set off to prove them wrong.
I went into the biscuit shop and I said "mango biscuits, please"
And the shopkeeper was so happy, that he fell down to his knees.
He cried out "take all of my biscuits, they're the nicest things to eat!"
But I declined very politely, saying "one will be a treat."
I thought to run a biscuit shop, you'd have to be a biscuit purist
And that such a man could never run a biscuit fraud on tourists.
Then oh, tragedy of tragedies, my tears come down in streams
Coz what I thought was mango biscuits, nothing more than custard creams.

Pouilly Fuisse is very nice. Generally, I like a dry white wine, but I'm not too fussy.

Although I don't know him personally, I've always enjoyed reading pretty much anything posted by Abaddon. He seems both level-headed and open-minded, and has an elegantly straightforward way of expressing himself.

A number of years ago, one of my co-workers attended a Sunday meeting with my family (after I told him that I could not date outside my faith; I guess he figured he'd get dunked so we could go out together.). At the next meeting I attended, two elders pulled me into the back room to take me to task because my co-worker had spent half the meeting in the men's room, smoking. I was horrified at the time, but later on it seemed pretty funny, picturing this big, pierced, tattooed Scot lurking in a smoke-filled men's room all during the WT study! I think he might have scared a few of the brothers.

That stupid "Superman" song that came out maybe 5 years ago- the one where he's whining about how "even heroes have the right to bleed", and "it's not easy to be-hee me". Maudlin, sappy, crap.
However, it does speak to me. The people in my life have this impression that I'm infinitely strong, that I can put up with anything, that I'm somehow made of cast-iron, because I maintain a pretty good illusion that all that's true. But I'm so often sad, exhausted, and in physical pain. Acting like a bitch on wheels is a good way to conceal the fact that I'm not as strong as I seem.

Country Girl, pardon my French, but WTF are you talking about???
I saw a pic of you taken around the time of the apostafest in Dallas, just a few months ago, and YOU LOOKED GREAT! Not very different at all from how you looked when I knew you before, and that's been a lot of years, right? And you're a lovely person on the inside, as well. So open your eyes, chica, and try to see yourself the way others do.
