A womans tears
by Maverick in
1. social
2. relationships
this is really for the guys, but i know the woman here will have some great insights for us stupid men so i hope y-all will offer up your best.. when the woman i am with starts to tear up or cry i feel totally helpless and useless.

this is one of the most dreaded situations i as a man can ever find myself in.

my older brother, the retired police chief, would get angry if a woman started to cry when he was writing her a ticket, he felt it was an act.

Ladies, how do you want people to react to your tears?
Just a hug please. I don't need the problem 'fixing' I need support while im fixing it the best way for everyone involved.The tears are a coping mechanism when the stress become too much..then i can get up and continue with the problem.It's a time out, a release of pressure and a request for emotional support. A hug and a little conformation of love is all we need .It's been a very problem filled year for my friends and I so far..but our system of having a hug then being able to move forwards works..we don't try to fix the impossible because unless the parties involved are present its useless.but te cry and the support helps you carry on .

I've spent a while wrestling,
those bloody hormones to the ground,
tying them, twisting them, to submission,
but they always know when I've found
something that starts to make them race
and fly through my insides
I stuffed them deep and kicked them down....
but they squeezed out of the sides......

You think you're safely interacting
swopping words on static screen
with red haired woman who's extracting
images she wants to wean
from you, to take you up and up to such a comic pitch,
that your finale may even start making risorious muscles twitch

Did You Ever Attend A Meeting After You'd Left?
by Englishman in
1. jw
2. friends
did it seem strange to you, almost surreal?

it's happened to me several times.

about 2 years after i was df'd, hl and i were newly weds heading for a weekend in london.
reboot

it seemed like some sort of zoo for people with an hyperactive disorder.

that really cracked me up
Ive never been back.The last meeting I went to was conducted by the elder who was stealing from my husband..and the talk he gave was about honesty in the workplace....
I so wanted to stand up and make a grand exit after sidling up to him on the podium,and asking politely ' excuse me, but may I say something?' and explained to the cong. that the talk had just been given by a rather large hypocrite..but apparently noone was allowed to know....shame that.(though many have since been enlightened ... lol

A playful smile envelopes my mouth
as I fixidly watch you eating.
I imagine your muscles enlarging to match
the desire in me that's increasing.

The Explaination..
You said the reason you did'nt think,
was due to the amount of drink
that passed you lips.......

The 144,000-A club for Men Only???
by ohiocowboy in
1. watchtower

i was just reading some passages out of the new world translation, and stumbled upon something very interesting.

we all know rev 14:1, which numbers the 144,000, but reading the scriptures after that i noticed verse 4 which states that "these are the ones that did not defile themselves with women; in fact, they are virgins".

this seems to show that the 144,000 would be comprised of virgin men.
reboot

((Hey Ohio)) I remember asking this when I was studying the Revelation book...the way the WT answers this is that the anointed are 'spiritual' virgins..ah, that explains it then...
they cross refererence this to Philippians 2;15..they're supposedly 'without a blemish in among a crooked and twisted generation..' that'd be us..charming........
Apparently they ar'nt defiled by politics or false religion and have therefore remained ;undefiled' by it; which means they're virgins..!!!
simple, huh?
I wonder if anyone ever checked into their backgrounds to make sure they'd never voted or attended another denomination's service...

Love or respect, which do you want, are you settling for less?
by Maverick in
1. jw
2. friends
stinky pantz, who was truly missed, brought out an interesting point in asking the question about who loves us.

after thinking about her question for a while i felt i could not answer it at all.

i know who i love and how i feel about certain ones in my life, but i can not say with any true belief how others really feel about me.
reboot

In the absents of solid proof, if such a thing is even possible, which has a higher value to you, love or respect? Do you feel you are settling if you say respect? Can you live without the personal belief that you are truly loved? Was the need to be loved a reason you got involved with the Dubs?

Regarding the society, one of the reasons I stayed so long was due to the respect I thought I was being shown.Later I realised it was'nt respect, but a veiled attempt to appear respectful.
Respect is extreemly important to me.All my friends are people that I respect and have so much love for..... but the love comes later..due to some things that happened to me in my past, respect is THE most important quality someone can show me.If I dont feel respected I feel vunerable and used and all the old feelings come flooding back and threaten to over whelm me.
after many years of being taken for granted by many people I now feel I have the right to ask people to prove their love for me by their actions toward me; showing me the same respect I give them .. ....or I walk.
I respect people that I dont necessarily love, but I could never love someone that I did'nt respect.
