There was an Awake issue this year based on pet ownership (my mother gave it to me because of my new puppy) I leafed through it and it said nothing restrictive...just stuff on healthy diets for pets, vet visits, regular exercise, etc. Very blah, blah, blah, but nothing negative....

Are we too hard on INDIVIDUAL JW's?
by outbutnotdown ini am definitely no longer a jw (11 years).
that having been said, living in a "democratic" land, the one thing that is challenging is agreeing with freedom of religion, but also protesting when it becomes offensive.
don't get me wrong..... my family shuns me completely and i do think that it is "offensive", and against the laws of nature, which makes the point even more legitimate...... : do they really know what they are doing?

To attack them on an individual basis isn't fair in my opinion. I always try to remember how I felt when I was on the other side of the door....nervous, anxious and in full belief that what I was doing was in a effort to (a) share the hope filled message in the bible and (b) please my family....either motivator, no matter how incorrect, was not evil in it's intent. I, at the time and many I knew were genuine and held the belief that we were doing what was right and required of them.

does money talk in the cong?
by little1 inthe jw i dated had lots of money and seemed to take the religion pretty much a la carte.
when it was to his advantage he'd play the religion card, but he seemed to get away with a lot.
by that i mean he owned and flew an ultralight, spent lots of time at the airport with non jws, slept with me (although they didn't know that), traveled to europe 2x to take his non jw mom to france, spends a lot of time visiting his mom in fl.

It's all about "who you know"..... Even in God's domain!
by Doubtfully Yours inso here i am thinking, meditating if you will, on my biblical upbringing; then i came to the conclusion..... it's all about who you know!
even in biblical times.

I can follow you line of thinking Doubtful
My dad stepped down as an elder a few years back because he needed a break, but now, he's not being re-appointed because some the other brothers he used to serve with are power tripping! He's such a good man, but couldn't get back on the body if his life depended on it...you see it works both ways. It's all who you know!

When is it ok to have sex?
by Obviously Secret ini always get different answers when i ask this question, or i get answers that contradict with the people givin the answer.
i ask this to various forums online and they all end up saying, when your ready and you know the conciquences.
however, that obviously doesn't work much or isn't the truth when so many little kids are getting pregnant and aids are everywhere and everything else.. so seriously.

For me, at least, sex is so much more meaningful and special when you wait for when you care deeply about the person you experience it with.

Skittles...
I can't answer for your girlfriend, but I know that the one person I truly love in my life, I always will. Even if we seperate or our relationship dies...I will always love him.
Granted I fully realize that the issue of love is broad and encompasses many levels. But again real love is for good.
P.S. As funny as it is, I went to the vending machine here at work and bought skittles after seeing your post....lol

Love betrays it's very meaning if it is conditional
I know it's simplistic to say that and perhaps even naive, but I believe that as rare as it is, true, raw, real love is not dependant on anything, has no variables or constraints...it just is.

Just a note from personal experience, it was love that made me feel safe enough to aim for a better life. Before I knew it in it's truest sense, I feared everything. Now I feel safe and secure enough to be myself and aim for the life I've always dreamed of. It's is because of this unconditional love that I don't dread tomorrow, but rather long for the chance at it.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go
