  Is a sexually promiscuous life style linked to depression or insecurity?

  by free2beme in

  i work in an environment at work that is a mix of adult ranging in age from 18-50. there are 300 plus people in the building, and that means you get a lot of soap operas happening from people sleeping with other people's girlfriends, boyfriends and even people cheating on their spouses with people they work with.

  among the bunch is a large group of people who spend a lot of time passing themselves around, and sampling many sexual partners.

  of the people who i know, i have often found that many do not seem as happy as one might think.

  I think that mental health problems untreated can lead people to put themselves in that situation. I know part of a doctors depression questionaire is to ask about out of control sexual activity. When people are depressed, they see no answers and they have no hope. They feel trapped in a very bleak state. Many just believe they deserve to be mistreated. If you feel like dirt, you will let people treat you like dirt. When my depression was out of control, I wasn't sexually out of control but I did let people treat me like a door mat. I was always trying to please and then would get very down when people were unpleasable.

  That is great. Every category that they define as false religion, they fall in. They should have some interesting visits to the door. Has anyone read Holocaust Politics. The book has twelve pages that discusses JW according to its index. The author is a philosophy professor. I was just wondering what the authors full opinion of witnesses was.

  Did You Know what You Were Getting Into?

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we as jehovah's witnesses do not allow people to become baptized prior to gaining accurate knowledge of what we believe and teach according to the bible.

  if someone wants to join with us in worship and become baptized, they must also demonstrate that they know what they are getting into.

  that they agree with what we believe and teach.. .

  I studied with an Elders wife. She told me a story of her and her husband seeing a brother smoking and he was disfellowshipped. I said oh because he didn't want to stop. She said yes. I said so if he said that he was really trying to quite and it was a moment of weakness then he wouldn't be disfellowshipped. She said oh no then he would not have been. My response should have been Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire. Of course at the time I believed her. At this point, I have now met numerous women and children abused and disfellowshipped while there abusers are climing the corporate latter. I try to be understand but I am mad at the lies lies lies.

  i remember that a few months ago, a member gave the reproduction of a publicity corresponding exactly to the picture of a nice swimming girl appearing in the "you can live forever ..." book.. this image is on my website (the first one on the page) :.

  http://www.aggelia.be/subliminal4b.html.

  would it be possible to put again this publicity on the forum ?.

  If it was done legally then both the stern magazine and the watchtower purchased the same pictured repository. I work for a bio tech company, with images you have a few options. Hiring a graphic designer to give you unique graphics tends to be expensive so often picture respositories are purchased. These respositories are far less expensive but anyone that purchases the repository can use the images. We ran into an issue that a girl we were using on our homepage was showing up on hotmail on dating adds and then another one in a sex add in a magazine. There was nothing illegal, but we did change the images to avoid the association.

  Let's have a parade and destroy Watchtowers!

  by TresHappy in

  the apostle wears a bulletproof vest when he's preaching in colombia, retains a battalion of 50 bodyguards across the united states and drives to his doral church headquarters in an armored seven series bmw.. followers say he's jesus.

  detractors call him a cult leader.

  and jose luis de jesus miranda -- a paunchy, middle-aged man from puerto rico who favors $10,000 rolexes and claims millions of disciples worldwide -- believes many people would like to see him dead.. it's no wonder the sect generates controversy.
