personally i'm hetero, though a few of my gay friends would like me to be gay .
Holy cow! I hate coming late to the party, soooo much to read. TS, did you post that article on HIV because you are trying to use that tired idea that it's gods punishment for Homosexuality? If so, what about lesbians? Also, of all the things going on in this world that are against gods laws, THAT is the one he is gonna get involved in??!
Slippery slope, is that like we went to Vietnam to stop the spread of communism, we lost, and now the whole world............uh isn't communist??
i've been off of cigarettes for almost a week now.
i'm chewing nicotine gum like mad, but i can still feel myself melting down inside.
the world seems like such a crummy place to be right now.
I seem to recall an article in the literature...............................
Would it be horrible for me to mention that my future father in law was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer a few months ago? He was given 4-8 months to live. I can not tell you what it feels like to spend time with that family right now. Which we are doing at every opportunity, even though we live in Calif and they in Penn. We will be making our third trip since mid november at the end of this month. I also feel so damn cheated! These people are just wonderful, and I have not had nearly enough time with them.
Sorry AA, I'm sure this is not the kind of thing you want to hear, but it is so close to my heart right now.
ive been reading this forum for a long time, but this new situation has come up and now it looks like i need your help.
i thought i dodged a bullet.
my wife and i were both jws, and we both left it together.
I think that folks that stay together for "the sake of the children", are really fooling themselves, and are actually trying to come to terms with their own guilt over the situation. The children can feel a lack of love. Wouldn't it be better if the parents were seperate but friendly, and possibly with more loving partners? I just went back and read more in depth the previous posts. As far as people who say that the children had such problems after the divorce, are you so sure they are not actually the result of the time spent together BEFORE the split? I know that even though in later years, I grew to understand and love my father, my life could have been much less stressful, if my mother had left him and done ok on her own. I think that is the ultimate key, how well do the parents do after the split? Do they give the children adequate attention and security, or are they consumed with the loss of the other parent? Everyone has a right to find an equal, loving partner that they can share life with, and respect. How is that not a good example for children?

Rex? Who are you, and exactly why are you here? From all I have seen in your posts, if you ever were a JW, you have gone on to something even more fundamentalist and extreme. The bible is a fantasy. The topic for this post may as easily have been "Who did Bilbo Baggins speak to in prayer?"

Bizzy! Your mother would have a hissy fit if she read this!!

I would think that this sort of thing would not be at the request of JWs. First of all, "we are no part of THIS world", and so don't get involved in such. Also, I think they love the attention and the opportunity for all the poor little JW kids to explain why they are unable to participate in any given event. Flag salute, christmas play/craft etc.
i am trying to build a list of hipocrisy with in the borg.
i dont mean things like the un scandal as people in the hall wont have heard of that, but smaller stuff that goes on all the time with out the rank and file noticing.
infant baptism.
Goooood stuff here.
I just can't help remembering one terrifying night I spent laying in my bed stiff as a board, sweating, too scared to breathe, because I suddenly remembered my little "wordly" friend had left her St. Christopher medal there. Every creak of the old house, or gust of wind, even the pattern on the curtains, was a demon, that I had invited in because of my "bad" association.
Nope, this one is common. I remember many stories from the platform about this kind of stuff. Even a dear uncle who was an elder told such a story. How whacky it all seems now.
my teenage daughter is out with her friends so i'm alone here tonight, but not lonely.
conventional wisdom suggests that a solitary life isn't healthy.
friends and close relationships help people live longer.
I think it's why we come here partially. I enjoy my solitude, but I am definately a social creature. I love to share. I love to laugh, bouncing off the other persons witt and such. My family is a laugh riot. It's like a bunch of stand up comics trying to get the last best shot it. I love that. We can also be a bunch of ill tempered jerks, but all in all, I'd say it's worth it for the good times. Maybe that's the bottom line about friendships in general. The good times with friends are always better and more fulfilling than the best of times alone. IMO
i am going to be signing it.
