OMG. Life is a blur, Just trying to figure out, is it really tuesday? Is it tuesday? What day is it? Where the hell am I? What have I been doing? What happened to the weekend? Am I ever gonna get a god damn day off from work? Why do I have sooooooooooooo many crazy people in my life? Why did everyone forget my birthday? Ok, it was thrusday, same day as the memorial....Where the hell is that easter bunny? Why can't I sleep at night? How do I resist temptation that just happens to be in next room--shirtless--should I jump his bones or take cold shower? Why do I attract insane men like bee's w/ honey? Where the hell am I? Um, hello, is anybody there? Um, hello???????

ok, don't think i'm nuts, but i have a rather personal question to ask you.

it's just that i saw a kid do this and i've never seen it in my life, and then a friend told me it happens to her too...every time.... ok, so the question is:.

do you shed tears and get a runny nose when doing number two?.

butalbee

OMG.

Hi, welcome to the board!

Just one quick question: Can a relationship with a "unbeliever" really work? I am the unbeliever in my relationship, past, present, future tense, and I just don't see how it CAN work. How do you get by the relgious differences, for example: at holidays, birthdays, etc...

i've been studying with the jw's for about a year now.

i know that by nature (or nurture!

) i have an addictive personality so i have tried to be real careful that i'm doing the right thing by getting involved with them.

Be careful of the wolf dressed in sheep's clothing...

Which religeon is correct ?

by musky in

jw

can anyone name a religeon that is the correct one?.

my personal criteria would be: shouldnt celebrate holidays/ only study the bible, not publications with someones personal ideas/ people won't worry about dressing in exactly a particular manner, welcoming others personal thoughts on the interpretation of scripture even if it differs from others/ not demand money for membership.. any religeons like this?

?

butalbee

Which religion is correct----NONE of them.

"Dubs For Dummies"

by Farkel in

dear brothers and sisters in the worldwide brotherhood of jehovahs witnessestm,.

there has been much public interest in our beliefs lately, so we have prepared a very brief summary of our core beliefs in a new pamphlet which you may offer to interested persons.

hopefully, this pamphlet will generate enough interest with honest-hearted people and enable you to start many new bible studies.

Farkel--you are awesome!

Obessed with sex?

by DB in

now that i have your attention....really, this is about sex.. this week's issue of newsweek contains an interesting commentary by anna quinlan, found on the last page, that deals with the catholic church's priestly sex scandal and how, for so many years, repressive teachings by the church in matters realting to human sexuality have been very counter-productive and have missed the mark badly while the church at the same time tried to cover-up cases of pedophilia among priests.

examples given include teachings like no divorce (while people suffer in bad marriages), no birth control (thus teaching that sex is not be engaged in simply for pleasure but with the purpose of procreation), and so on.

and yet in the meantime, they obviously missed the boat on the whole problem of sex abuse within their own priesthood.. while jw teachings are not as repressive, at times i have noticed a seeming obsession, if one might call it that, among some jws in matters of a sexual nature.

I agree w/ refiners.
