Love and Choices

by YoursChelbie in

do we choose who we fall in love with?

for example: a man married for only a few months notices another married woman at work.

they get to talk and find that they have lots in common.

YoursChelbie -

In my observances with life here on earth, I've seen and experienced some amazing things on the love/romance topic.

I am well aware of how fickle one can be.

I am aware of how a catalyst can cause one to respond to everything good around them.

Let me put it plainly: I've seen us creatures have a gaze of love for everyone when we are out in public. A woman sitting at a table in a restaurant looking lovingly into the face of her man. He steps out (to use the restroom or phonecall) and she is sitting there with the same look for everyone (well, not everyone- maybe it was just at me). I didn't take it personal. Maybe she just looks lovely like that or she is so smitten with feelings she can't help herself. 20 years ago, I would have thought that was an invitation to come over (I know some guys who wouldn't care who she was with and they would be at the table talking to her) but, maturity tells me different. It was up to me to interpret that look as someone in love with someone else and she was in an afterglow.

I do know first hand the feelings one could have right after being married. Men and women can be fickle for whatever reason (bad childhood comes to mind for myself- insecureties, jealousy, conqueror, horndog, etc). I've known men andwomen to do the same thing you've described.

An old girlfriend would beat me over the head with 'There's no such thing as you're the only one' and I tend to agree with her now. It's a matter of committing to the one and sticking with that one. If not, the person wasn't ready to be married in the first place. 9I, for one, should not have thought about marriage a second time until I made myself whole and not throw my baggage onto my mate.

I think about that song 'You're One In a Million' and it makes sense to me personally because there are millions of people alive today and out of that there is going to be compatability with about one thousand of them. Do I make sense?

I hope this helps...

Watchtower Fallout

by gitasatsangha in

i'm trying to come up with a list of various non-jw and russellite groups.

it's already pretty much established that the jw claim of being unified is hogwash, but this information should be itneresting.

if anyone has anything not here, or more information please post it.

gespro

I have seen this information through my searches just a couple of weeks ago. It definitely needs to be here!

There are some stories about the African divisions and (like Romania) used the JW name but wasn't JW. I'll try to find it and post it here...

PS. This must be the longest post! LOL

it confirms in my mind that the democrats have no actual ideas about how to run the country and are left with calling President Bush names.

Your point being...?

Thanks for the input on this mini-film. I found it in the BibleStudents discussion group at yahoo. The commentary that intrigued me the most was "It brought tears to my eyes". I didn't feel that way either. It seemed positive but, confusing, even a waste of time.

Emma - You have no time for time wasting (or you suffer from ADD...IT"S A JOKE...LAUGH!) You mean the music wasn't inspiring?
