Can you cite a few examples of 'over' anal-yzing everything?
Guest 77
a by-product of being a genuis-type guy is the tendancy to read too much into every action, word or event in a relationship.
i have killed more than one relationship this way.
with the gf's giving me comments such as, "why can't i have a normal boyfriend?

i know many of us felt we were doing "god's work" and did not have to spend time with our families or even do things for ourselves.
our only focus was the ministry and the "truth"....... did you too, neglect yourself and your family??
?
This seems to be the first posted thread that everyone is in unison. Hmmm, now we're cooking with gas.

Greetings. We have plenty of big EARS on this forum.

Guilty. Though I've taken them on trips, as a father and friend I neglected them emotional. This to me is an 'indicator' that their form of worship and practice is highly questionable. JW children are deprived of being children.
Lucky for me, my wife not having a JW background, saved the day!

do you remember it?
mine was in the 7th grade by a boy named joe.
it took me by surprise and i was dissapionted, because he tried to swallow my face!
13 at the time, my wife to be. It took me 30 minutes to build up enough courage to kiss her. It was a rainy night and it was done under an umbrella, her friend was holding the umbrella by the way. I had to hurry because I had to get to the book study group. I don't remember if I was late or not. It makes no difference because I was on cloud nine any ways.

"ready for every good work," 12/1.
"god is love," 7/1.
"remain in my word," 2/1.
Not teaching you that your a sovereign person, but a serf.

as a boy i lived at times in hampden-sydney, a small college town in virginia, where my family had lived for generations.
h-s was the old south of idyllic imagination.
georgian buildings stood on rolling green laws shaded by ancient oaks.
Senior Bush calls it, "The New World Order." Check the back of your American one dollar bill. Under the pyramid the Latin phrase "Novus Ordo Seclorum". which means a "a new secular order of the age;" in other words, a new world order without God.

when it comes to some things like work and sports, i think that both genders are equally competitive.
who do you think is more competitive sexually?
i say women.
Very interesting, tell me more about this female aggressiveness. Does it apply 'only' to men?

things are what they are.. everything acts according to its nature.. nothing escapes its own nature.. we cannot be other than what we are and our "choices" follow our nature.. consequently, can we not say correctly that free choice is merely our ignorance of the fact that all our actions and choices are predetermined by our nature?.
example: if i offer you dog piss or a dove bar is that really a choice?.
only possible things happen.
Absolute freedom, NO! Relative freedom, Yes! Don't pay your taxes and find out how free you are.
