The saying that women really don't like each other is myth. Look at this very discussion board. I can name a string of lovely wimmynfolk that I know here, and can't think of even one that I really dislike. Same goes for the men. We are all just as great. No pedestals for me, please. The intent was a good one, FMZ, but I'll pass in favour of you guys being my equals. Let's look eye-to-eye, not gaze adoringly up at an impossible ideal. tal
Amen
i remember when i joined the jw's about 18 years ago, i was single just like today, and i never really wanted to marry a jw.
i would have liked to get married, but not with a jw.
i believed in their religion, but that was the spiritual side of me.
Wait until you are ready, word! Don't ever let someone make you feel pressured into it. It's okay to choose 'no' until you are sure how you feel about this whole issue.
When is one ready? I feel that a true test of loving compassion is to have the same feelings after you engage in sexual relations. If you can jump into another persons arms, one after the other, then you truly are not in love. I prefer to find love, before I have sex. Anyway, thank you for sharing your inner self with me.

over the course of my three year 'fade' from the borg, i have done a lot of additional reading of all those books that we were told in the hall to avoid.
you know... they are in libraries, the local book store... even on-line!
it's called ... research!
And God created man in His image. God is a spirit, therefore a man in replication of God's qualities becomes spiritual. One that does not know God is not spiritual. On the other hand, unclean spiritual practices is one who learns the example of satan, also a spirit entity.

i was talking to a witness the other day and i was explaining from revelation how there is only one calling to heaven and there is not an earthly calling.
and the jw asked me to explain the verse from pslam which states teh meek shall inherit the earth and reside in it forever, any one have any scripture to refute his argument.

What is the need for the earth and the universe if everyone lives in heaven? Man has flown into space and not seen God. So does everyone in heaven fly down to the earth just to be invisible entities? I think the earth is here for human beings, don't you? word up

What is the Society's policy on storing your own blood for possible use in your own transfusion some time in the future if you should ever need it? Anybody know?
What is God's policy is what I would like to know. Where does it say in the bible that you have to die instead of receiving blood? word up

Also, resilience is an important quality. Do you trust yourself to be able to deal with the consquences of a 'failed relationship'? Maybe that is the real fear. Having a broken heart really hurts, and if I never commit, then I will never have to face that kind of heartbreak, right?
Sound like words spoken from a mature female in heart. Can you have a relationship without having sex first? This was difficult for me since a person is so drawn to the other "as opposites of course", and once the feeling and sense of touch is encountered, it than becomes more difficult to learn the partners true feelings of the heart.
I feel that it is best to gain self control, as you mentioned as knowing yourself first so to speak, than to allow a person to take advantage of the gift of God selfishly. I have learned to guard my heart and get to know a person, before I allow myself to be taken advantage of.

Wasn't the blood that Jehovah said not to drink from animals, and not humans? Also, the blood was holy only after it was offered as sacrifice to Jehovah. This was a purification of the offering.
Jehovah is a God of the Living, not the dead, and is also the Life Giver. Would it not make sense to give a part of your own flesh, so to speak, as a gift of life, in example of our God Jehovah?

I never thought about marriage as a JW. It just wasn't in my thoughts ... seemed like something other people did, but not me. After I left, I did it as a form of escape. Was miserable. Gave it up. Now, I'm ambivolous about the whole thing --- seems like a lot of energy going into a mighty risky venture. If only there were guarantees ... hahahaha *shrug*t
I was always led by impure thoughts and was constantly trying to avoid a sexual relationship as a single person. I was not able to remain as chaste as I prefered, so I chose marriage. This is not always the correct remedy since a relationship is based upon love and companionship. Once the sex part gets too unromantic, so to speak, there is still the challenge of gaining a persons heart in love. What does it mean that sex was a gift from God? word up
It all depends on the women. Some are more mature than others, while some still play the deceptive game. In all honesty, how many women are willing to admit that they are hiding something from their significant other. It throws me in a loop when some women think that they are so beautiful, that a man would be willing to share his fortune with them for nothing but beauty in return.
I would rather share life with someone unique, gifted, and simple in appearance, than to wonder if the female I am with is flaunting their beauty just to gain attention.............any opinions in opposition?

On the topic of marriage. Is it possible to stay married forever? Also some believe that God binds two together. If this is true would it not last longer than the next sexy counterpart to ruin everything?
