I use Drakkar Noir currently.
Do you actually switch fragrances frequently?
I ask because the olfactory sense is the one most strongly connected to memory. If you want a guy (or girl) to think of you when they smell a certain smell, it would probably be smart to stick with one at a time.
The women I've known who come to mind most easily are the ones who had one or two specific fragrances they used.
i had a conversation last night with someone and we were reminescing about the late 60's and early 70's about how a couple of the sisters were telling at the time that they were being molested and sometimes raped by demons.
in our cong they were told to open the bible to a certain scripture and leave the bible open to it at all times and leave a light on.
anyone else remember some of this paranoia?
Is there even a case of this in the bible? Did I miss that "bible story"?
Stories of the fallen angels/nephilim might qualify. (??)
i'm interested in developing a list of things jws are allowed to do that have "pagan" or otherwise "evil" origins in the eyes of the wts.
what types of things are you aware of?
so far i've got...... red lip stick (allegedly invented to distinguish prostitutes from non-prostitutes).

Daystar: Is it still considered cheating if these demonic mistresses are made of ectoplasm??? LOL

Attention any and all HOT FEMALE DEMONS :
I will be alone in the house tonight between 7-10 pm.....
Ladies... you heard him. Place all prior engagements on hold and attend to Mr. Kid-A appropriately.
i ask this because i have a hard time making and keeping friends since i have left.
my husband is my best friend now....but he is my only friend.
i do have some wemon friends, but i don't like to get too close.
OMG...this is freaky your experiences are similar
Sirona definately falls into this category, we connect on a great number of levels; we also have shared the same dream (and have done so even when we were younger) which is why I said this was freaky. Shes the one person that gets me.
Dave, who I have known since I was 11 also is like a brother to me; we met at a quickbuild prebuild and decided that because we couldnt batter the other into submission we would fair better as friends; this is the way it has stayed to this very day. We grew up together; we drank underage together; we pissed off the elders together; we also left the Borg together. We even went our own seperate journeys and ended back as though time had not even passed.
Well, I guess we'll have to start planning a trip to meet up some day!
Are you our doppelgangers I wonder?
daystar/diamondblue (eh... both start with "d"?)
brigid/sirona (same number of letters, similar spirituality)
john/dave (same number of letters, same sort of very common first name... and lots of firsts together)
I know, it's a stretch.
about 5 months ago gumby had a knee operation, it never healed and the doctors here suck in a big way.
so yesterday he and his wife went south to get a second opinion and maybe get this knee surgery healed up.
so if you got it in you please pray for his speedy recovery and healing.
Hey bro! You'll be okay I'm sure. But I'll be thinking on ya anyway.

Let's see...
My son. I don't think I need to explain why.
Brigid here on JWD. She's everything to me and she always has been. We visited each other in our dreams from a very early age. She is my friend, my lover and the guide to my unconscious. We speak our own language, verbal and non-verbal.
A guy I've known since we were 8 or so, named John. He's a character and our lives have gone different directions, but he's like a brother to me. We really became friends after we had a little impromptu boxing match at school one day where I thought I was protecting another friend (a JW) from him. We were rather equally matched. No black eyes, but there were some painful bruises.

I think you may be obsessing about it a bit too much. People who have never been Witnesses rarely care about such a thing.
I'm sorry, but Fe2O3Girl makes a valid point. The language you use hints at a serious degree of Witness-think still embedded. I could never consider Brigid a "potential mate". It dehumanizes a person.
IMO, while I wouldn't say stay completely off the market, you would do well to continue to work on divesting your psyche of the JW-think before looking seriously. You will find that something as simple as a change of linguistics will work wonders. IOW, look for clues in your own speech, writing and mannerisms that "mark" you and look to replacing them.
That all being said, should you choose to talk about your Witness past with a woman you're interested in, the more you dwell upon it, the more alarm bells will likely go off for her.
Admittedly, though, I loved the standard of high morals that
I applied in my life as a Jehovah's Witness and still adhere
to them. And, I would love to find someone with the same
nice qualities that I am used to.
(*Sigh, I should have been born in the 18th or 19th century).
LOL! Perhaps you should watch The Libertine to get an idea of what some were up to in the 17th century. Though I can understand the sentiment as I felt much the same way for many years, tending to romanticize the past.
The world's morals are loose and something I personally
despise. The thought of becoming wrapped up with a can-
didate from the Jerry Springer show mortifies me.
More JW-think. There is not such a thing as "the world's morals". Though... the thought of becoming involved with a Jerry Springer candidate would (should!) chill anyone to the bone.
yes i did it, i finally took my two kids out on halloween for their first time!!!
i will remember this i think for the rest of my life!
my two boys, the oldest 9, dressed as a pirate and the youngest 5 as spiderman.
Sort of off topic, but I just found this pic from Heid Klum's Halloween party and thought it appropriate. Yes, that is her husband, Seal, dressed as Eve and Heidi as the apple/snake.
