  If you work in diferent departments I would say go for it who cares about age. No if you are in close quarters I would say just be friends, close friends and then see where it goes. If you start dating and it ends......oh boy, that might open a can of worms you dont want opened. Good luck

  seems like the catholic church does not want you to see the "da vinci code".

  i mean if they don't want anyone to see the movie they would be better not to say anything.. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/showbiz/movies/05/15/cardinal.davinci.reut/index.html.

  i heard that its common for jws in a certain congregation to make a big deal when someone turns 40--to the point that they actually throw a party.. is this something that happens out there?.

  i just thought it sounded pretty odd.

  Yea, what is with that. I know of a family that the dad is an elder and the whole family is big jws. If I ask what they are going to do on the holiday. "the family is getting together and mom is making a ham.....Needless to say I start with the lecture on how they can all gather at mom's and have a tradational holiday meal But it is all ok because they all have the day off and ham is on sale. Go figure. I call birthdays for my jw friends an Annivesary, since they can celeberate that. It's always the anni of my 29th birthday.....LOL

  Do you REALLY want to know?

  by serendipity in

  is it important for you to know how many sexual partners your love interest had before you would consider him/her for a long term relationship, leading to marriage?

  why would that info be important to you?.

  that's a question i don't think i'd ask, or answer.

  If you are a Christian, go to confession, say a few prayers and your god will forgive you. Ask God for forgiveness and he WILL forgive you.

  Go on with your life, it's way too short.

Or a good guess. #1 I am not an egg. #2 I'm not plowing any fields that I would need a yolk. #3 How can we be uneven if if we both believe in the same God. My heart is being broken because of this.

  Door to Door

  just wondering... what do you think about the jw going door to door?

  do you like it or dislike it?

  my view is ( weather something is false or not) i think it is great someone shares what they love with someone else.

  We have a few different churches that go door to door. I would say no dont do it, unlessyou want the door slamed in your face. I remember one holiday that they came "a knockin" looking for my father. My neice who was I think 10 at the time came and got me before I went into the shower. (she couldnt find grandpa). I went to the door in a towel and told them that we were spending the holiday with the family and please do not bother us. The look on thier faces ( 4 people came to the door) was priceless. Needless to say they have never returned.

  Unbelievable.......Just makes you want to .. I sorry If I needed a trasnfusion I would take it. I have this thing about having other people blood in me, but when I go into the hospital for any major surgery I would have given blood that would be there for me. I cant donate. There are other means I thought for blood transfusions, synthetic something? I know that I talked to JW about this once. Am I wrong?
