by speckles in

i am mature adult and have been living with a j.w.

for the past 3.5 years.

when we meet he was not practicing has not practice for some few years.

serendipity

I think if he continues attending JW meetings, the man you know will change drastically and you may not like the "new personality".

Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?

by minimus in

when i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?

?.

"To me, manliness means being wise, self-sufficient, healthy, emotionally secure, courteous. " Men don't have a monopoly on those traits. I'd associate these with being an adult.

How many of us are on the JW dating sites......

by IreallydidwalkoutofaKH in

jw
friends

i thought maybe the gb got one thing right.

that is stating that only spiritually weak brothers and sisters would go on those sites.

however, to my shagrin....almost everyone i met was quite strong in the organization, but just wanted more friends.

I was on some of the sites. I know that I asked for my jwmatch profile to be removed. I don't know about the others....

What would a JW say if they saw your library?!

by Sirona in

jw
friends

i've just had some shelving put up by my mother's husband...and she is coming round to look at my library.. she is jw..... what will she think of the books i have on there?.

would you let a jw relative see your library?.

some books:.

serendipity

Fanatic JWs would ask "where's the society's literature?" or "is that all you have?" and would probably raise an eyebrow at my philosophy and career-oriented books. I keep most of the questionable stuff in my closet. ;-)

ARE WOMEN MORE ROMANTIC THAN MEN................AND WHY?

by Summer wine in

jw
friends

personally, i think they are ............and from an early age but why?

from personal experience men need to feel loved, wanted and appreciated but have a bypass from romance.

is it just my husband or do you men feel pressured to be "be romantic".

serendipity

Since women have different ideas of romance, it's up to them to educate their men as to the details and desired frequency.

Anybody here a Jane Austen fan?

by Bonnie_Clyde in

jw
friends

never thought i would be, but now i've watched 3 versions of sense and sensibility, 2 versions of pride and prejudice, 2 of persuasion, and 2 of emma.

also saw one of mansfield park, but i didn't like it that much.

there's only one left that i haven't seen--northanger abbey.. .

serendipity

Add me to the fan club. I too think that P&P with Colin Firth was the best.

If you weren't born in, how did you get in?

by ecuador in

i am not a jw, but know several, and i am curious as to why adults get involved with the jws.

any one have an answer from personal experience?

serendipity

My parents got baptized when I was 10 yo. When I was 18, I was told to get baptized or to leave home. So I got dunked.

by flipper in

friends

so- thought i'd start a thread to see how life is treating you folks !

let's talk about anything you want .

we will let the direction of the thread take it's own course !

serendipity

I'm in a transition period right now, so things are unsettled. I'm trying to focus on the exciting freedom unemployment brings, but I feel more anxiety than anything else, especially with daily bad economic news. I tell myself "this too shall pass". I only hope that I am brave enough to hold out for a job in an industry that interests me rather than just taking the first thing that comes along.
