"body you" is very smart about a few, simple things.
this is how you want it because "body you" is kind of a moron.. fact 2: all living things have two primary desires: to stay alive, and to have offspring.. this is a basic, defining biological fact.
of course "brain you" doesnt think, "i want to talk to that cute boy because i want to procreate", but "body you" is!
Paint it any way you like, humans love rooting. Morals just make it seem like we are above animals but animals have mating rituals too.
Sass I was interested before my daughter got to puberty. Interested in learning, so I could get more sex! Ha ha
. Actually I was more worried about my boy! He's such a dreamer. Turned out just fine though.
ok so i had my first breakup a couple of months ago--pretty serious--first bf-(well first everything)-and we last for a year.
now what is the "proper" grieving time?
and tell me why everyone must make sure you know what your ex is doing and whats going on with them?
Time is a great healer. I look back in fondness on my past loves, despite some very painfull stuff going on then. You never forget but I have learned to understand and forgive. Lifes too short.
Plus, it's good to review our own behaviour, so we don't repeat the same mistakes in choice of partner and actions. Go have some fun!!
lately i've been feeling incredibly frustrated by the relationship i have with a few members of my family who aren't attached to the org, or just hanging in by a thread.
my dad is one such person, love him to bits, but he really gives me the sh*ts with his poor me act grrrr.
i just get tired of always being the one who calls, who stays in contact, who visits etc.
I was the first to hold my daughter when she was born, yes even her mum. We have been close ever since. I was a sole parent with her (her choice) and actually left the witnesses at the same time!!
She has just completed 2 degrees and is happily living with a well adjusted male. We live quite a distance apart but are never disconnected from each other. We actually spoke an hour ago. I am not and will never be a dead beat dad.
first of all, a message for watchtower society monitors: hi guys, since i'm a little rebellious, and people offering advice to me on this thread are probably equally so, you may like to come here often to see what we're up to.
fine, but don't forget to check this out, because this is where you really should be.. now, to all,.
hi, it's been a while since i posted here, can anybody post a link to a site that deals well, in laymans' english, with copyright law, given that i am living in england and wanting to put wts publications up on my website.
Which WT did that image come from? Is it a new thought? Hell, not just a garbage dump after all.
hey mate, don't mean to pick on you, but i know you are a good sport.
;) to all other non-believers, this thread is also for you..
it seems you always want proof and evidence of some kind of afterlife, but always have a "reasonable explanation" for any evidence put forth.

It's a tough journey for us westerners to get out of our "logical"mindset. Nature often doesn't make sense but flows in a higher pattern. For me, sitting in nature with no particular intent, has opened me to the journey of spiritual realisation, something I could never have understood as a mind/logic focussed jw. From my limited reading and conversation, it seems that this is a kind of shamanic experience has been enjoyed by "primitive"societies for eons.
Just be careful what you dream for as it may come true..
psychoanalyzing the governing body and other high ranking ones from a distance.. i'm interested in some professional opinions on this, what makes these guys tick, what makes them perpetuate a fraud on the rest of jehovah's witnesses?.
i know some can be pretty dogmatic in these areas, lets not try to be, lets look at this thing from many angles.
even if your not a professional give your opinions.
I believe that what drives them is the belief of RIGHTNESS. They have all the ANSWERS to every question. Life, death, how to live, the future and on.
The great questions are all distilled into hokey one liners like, Millions now living will never die!. You can live in paradise on earth. That is why they will not admit mistakes, because it is seen as personal failure. Jws are supposed to be winners not losers. You don't need a degree to figure their framework.
i see some of you have been hurt or feel mislead with the organization.
even if you dont like the organization and choose not to be apart of it, i can see where you come from.
what i dont understand is why some of you take out your frustrations on god.
Considering that jws claim to be gods organisation on earth, your first question has been answered by yourself
its two years since i last attended a meeting or thought of myself as a jw.
despite the prophesys of doom and gloom for those who leave the org i have gained lots and lost nothing.. i have much more time to spend with my husband which has led to our relationship improving fantastically.. i have a better relationship with my children who stopped going to meetings when they were teenagers.. i have become much closer to my family (i've just returned from yorkshire from my great nephews 1st birthday party.
my confidence has grown dramatically as i no longer view myself as worthless.. the guilt of not doing enough has gone.. i now have real friends.. the list goes on, but i really would like to hear what you've gained or hope to gain by leaving the borg.
The double edged sword of truth.
One side is freedom
The other is it ain't that simple....
.
i thought they were awesome.
been a fan for 30 years saw them do the wall twice in 1980 and 1981. shouldnt have done as a witness what did you think
Same ol'same ol'.
Can't these guys provide anything but nostalgia? I heard those songs as a young teen, there is so much since. Really...I feel like when my dad used to listen to Nelson Eddie when I was a kid. "Son that's when men could sing!"
1. are jesus and michael the archangel really the same person?.
one of the most peculiar of the wtss teachings is their assertion that jesus is actually michael the archangel.
" in acts 10:19-20, this "impersonal force" considers himself to be a person.
That picture looks a bit like Total Recall.....Yhew scary
