what attracts you in a male or female?

give me an example or better yet a pic to tell me what you like.😈.

just fine

I wish I could post a picture of my husband on here without outing myself. ❤️

He is tall, dark hair, light blue eyes. Has a man body, not skinny - not fat, muscled. I don't like the skinny, boylike bodies so popular with young men today.

I like manly men, who can grow a beard, have a little hair on their chest 😀

Dont laugh...... you asked.

So happy for you! I hope you can support each other navigating the ex-cult situations.

How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back

by JW_Rogue in

look my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.

and no i'm not talking about christmas and birthday parties.

i'm talking about your first kiss happening in your twenties instead of your teens.

just fine

All you can do is go forward and accept new opportunities. I can't change the past, but I can make better choices in the future.

What "Rules" Did The Elders In Your KH Make?

by minimus in

some congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.

back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.

if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!

just fine

There were so many, but at the time it just seemed normal. I think that's the worst part, we accepted arbitrary rules, handed over control of our lives. And by lives I mean everything - dress, grooming, cars, homes, jobs, relationships, every part of our lives were ruled by someone else's whim. *shakes head*. I can't believe I was ever that person.

Dealing with Elderly Parents Who Still Believe the jw Religion is the truth

by lancelink in

i left the religion back in 2008 right after my mother died,( the total lack of natural love/ affection was the final straw for me).. but my dad has become more and more focused on doing the wt bidding.. it just amazes me how he gushes on and on about the last days, his new bible studies, and meeting parts .

but yet he makes no effort to have any type of relationship with his grandkids, there are 5 of them , non are witnesses.

they are the children from several different sisters of mine, and myself.. so how do you deal with the witness stuff always being presented in conversations?.

just fine

We have a sort of truce that says anything JW related is off limits. On the rare occasion it does come up I treat it like I do anything else people talk about that doesn't interest me. Nod, smile, say that's nice and change the subject.

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

just fine

Mine was born in response to family when I first left. Don't worry about me I'll be just fine.

Sometimes I am very puzzled ...!!!

recently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .

" ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.

ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.

just fine

You tried to insult the intelligence of millions of American people with a false narrative about how Trump made the deal to sell weapons to Qatar. He didn't, Obama did, but according to your narrative it's still his fault.

There is no easy way to extract ourselves from the base in Qatar, although there is a growing movement pushing for that.
