You know what? At first glance, she thought I was a slack ass drug addict & I thought she was the queen bitch of the universe. And then we saw each other in "real" clothes ... MY GOODNESS! What a set of sweater puppies she had!
Honestly? I've always been attracted to her bod. But there's a sparkle in her hazel eyes that I don't often see in other women. And she has a tremendous level of energy and personality that she can project (for good OR for evil).
We are each other's dream come true and worst nightmare all at the same time. -

Homosexuality and how should a JW or 'Study' view it?
by AnitainFlorida ini am sure the subject is not very descriptive and for this i appologize.. i would like some assistnace in biblical references that say how homosexuality should be viewed and how one should deal with another that is homosexual or that has homosexual friends even if they non study's daughter says she and this other girl aren't 'doing anything'.
i know this is long winded, so i will just now finally get to the point.. i am a grandmother that has recently taken back up studying after a 1-2 year pause.
when i had first started studying, my daughter was also studying and we had our study togeather as i was staying with she and her husband because she had medical trouble and could not care for their 3 children when he was gone to work.

Well, "granny" ... keep in mind that I haven't considered myself a Dub for a long, long time ... If a person is going to accept Dubdom and the Bible in its entirety, then homosexuality is on the 'no-no list'. Heck, they used to publicly stone people for that sort of thing. But I always had the sense that God kinda likes seeing two women together. The Apostle Paul's prohibitions in the New Testament were all about 'men who lie with men'; he didn't say anything about 'women who lie with women'. Even if you go back to the Old Testament, the early books of the Bible delineate between men who commit bestiality and women who commit bestiality. So why does Paul address only 'men who lie with men' but not 'women who lie with women'? My questions about this sort of thing are probably a factor in why I stopped going to meetings in 1983.

Speaking of questions...
by Confession inas a jw, did anyone ever ask you the following.... "if you discovered that jehovah's witnesses weren't really teaching the truth, would you leave them?".
here again, it's a toughie for most of them.
if they say "no" they appear a mind-numbed fool.

"Friends, what if this isn't the truth? What it it's all a big scam? (pause) Isn't it still the best way of life?!"
Man, oh man ... if that wasn't said to ease the consciences of any 'doubters' in the crowd, then I can only imagine that it was said to ease that elder's own conscience. -

"This is kinda harsh but a household of my old witness buddies used to use Watchtower and Awakes as toilet paper when they ran out of, er, toilet paper."
Hopefully not back in the 1970s when they were printed on that horrible pulpy paper with splinters still visible ... -

Marriage Proposal.
by Englishman ini just found out today that my jw mum has turned down a proposal of marriage for the fourth time.
none of the proposals were from the same guy either, although all 4 were jw's.
i'm also told that mum's considered quite a dish for an octogenarian.. however, i'm also reliably informed that one of the main reasons for her refusals is because of the df'd "state" of my kid brother and myself.. see, she's considered a mature dub, one of the elite, and she also gets her own quiet ration of new light.

Not Having Kids in 'This System....'
by lonelysheep inone of my former bs conductors and her husband decided when they got married, they wouldn't have any kids 'in this system'.
i know the world could be better, but i see no reason not to have children if that's what your wishes really are....and you're able to for that matter.
she just turned 34 and really wants to have a child.

Brooke, I don't see how anyone can have kids and NOT refer to them as 'little swines' or something on that order ... although I tend to use 'weasel farts' and other terms of endearment with my kids.

Too many people want to have their cake & eat it, too.
