i was having a reminising sort of day today and thinking about our wedding 22 years ago and the songs we picked for the ceremony.. we had first, 'love's excelling way'.. god is love, and therefore bids us, walk in love's excelling way,.
letting love of god and neighbour prompt all things we do and say.. for though we have faith and knowledge, gifts of tongues and prophecy,.
yet if love itself were lacking, we would simply nothing be.. .
lol
I always wanted to dedicated a Barry White song during the reception, but I never had enough guts. But that would be a hoot wouldn't it.
I think any of the lyrics below would make the newlywed couple leave the reception really early.
(Please don’t make me wait too long I wanna love you, baby Can’t you see it’s only you I want And you I need)
(Tonight when we make love
I’m going to work your body with my tongue
Ohh baby, my missions clear
There’s more than love that keeps you here)
(It feels so good
You lying here next to me
Oh, what a groove
You have no idea how it feels
My hands just won’t keep still
I love you, baby)
(That lets two people express themselves how they feel
Let your love flow inside of you
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, baby)

were they all dates from hell?
any "immorality"?
did you ever "date" knowing the person was never "marriage material"?
Well I hope I didn't give this thread the kiss of death.
i know there are a ton of problems with the idea of paradise.
i was just thinking about how much sense it doesnt make.
for example how is it supposed to work as far as housing arrangements?
foil-wrapped burritos
lol I think we are the only group in the world to know about the foil wrapped burritos. Ah the memories

Talesin and JW83: Don't worry I guess I was naive to.
I dated an Elders son for 3 yrs in high school. Which I thought was a real honor since I wasn't an Elders daughter. I can't even count how many times he asked begged and pleaded for me to sleep with him. I being the good 16 year old girl I was trying to be kept saying no. He said "but when the bible says no it only means for people who don't each other not people like us who have been dating for years" I said well "if Jah meant it was ok to have sex if you know each other really well, then I think he would have added that to the scripture. He didn't have to skimp on words he had the whole bible to inspire" lol
He left me for a worldy girl who would put out at 16.
Hey S.E.S. if your out there and reading this. PM me, I'd love to hear from you. I won't try to push you off the balcony this time! lol
Now the 2nd JW I dated was good looking but gave me the creeps at the time. Really possive. I would get up to go to the restroom and he would ask where I was going. Like I was just going to get up and leave him there on my couch all night long.
One time we had dinner with his family and mine at a resturant. He thought I wasn't pay attention to his every word. SO he picked up the chair I was sitting on and loudly scooted it closer to him. Well that got my attention and everyone elses too. I left him shortly after that. If he is going to do that while dating what is he going to do after you're married to him. I didn't want to stick around to find out.
Now today if anyone did that to me I wouldn't have sat thru the rest of the dinner pleasantly. I would flip them off and walk out. But today I am a different person then I was then.
to all my very patient friends out there thank for your support here.
over many threads i have argued and posted on what various indivdual versus in the bible say.
to put it all together i decided to create it's own topic thread so it could be referred back to in the future.
The Hebrew word herewith translated as "have intercourse", or "know" is yada
Ok Well if no one else is gonna say it, I will.
Give new meaning the the phrase "yada yada yada"
i was looking at the long list of jw "don'ts" and "can'ts" someone posted here and i was reminded of a talk at the service meeting an elder gave once.
it was from one of the most elementary of publications (aren't they all???
) and the elder on the platform said, "i'll speak slowly for the sisters.
I bet women talk to fast for that brother.
for example: we had a 'faithfull' brother getting older and confused.
when something did not really went as he liked it (didn't get the answer etc) he shouted very loudly 'god doom me in the hell!
one time i had to do the closing prayer on the midweek meeting.
OMG you guys have made spit coke all over my monitor. some of these stories are hilarious. I know mine wont measure up.
I only have one eye tonight, I tried to poke out my other one with a fork,
bikerchic Your story made me laugh so hard I just got back from the bathroom.
my little brother gave a long comment about how "orgasms
wanderlustguy is your little brother old enough to know about orgasms? That story is priceless.
Ummm, i think you smoke weed
dorayakii I wish I could have been in that bookstudy.

tijkmo I don't think it was because of his religion that they called him dickhead
he didn't really just say that outloud did he
Ef How else would they know what the bad words are if you don't say 'em. lmbo
Bizarrely he accepted that without question.
Qcmbr that guy must have really gullible
Now my story.
I saw a sister once she was about 55 years old. Take her shoe off to smack a june bug dead in the aisle during watchtower study. It's really hard to hold back the giggles when things like that happen.
