Under74,
I've been living with different women for the last 7 years always platonically. I can tell you women don't think like men do. Women do have a different nature to men in certain aspects and one off those happens to involve how to deal with sex.

Under74,
If I understand your question correctly then the answer is both. In most women nature compels them to be less promiscuous add a layer of strict culture and you get certain outcomes. -

"Sorry, but I'm not just sick of the BS I was brought up with in the JWs, I'm sick of seeing girls in general US society told they don't have the sexual impulses males do or if they do they should reject them or unlike their brothers shouldn't act on them...and if they do act on them they're whores."
Women that place more importance on fidelity and relationships are generally not that eager to jump into bed with a bloke on some weak promise. Then there is the rest of the women that think of sex as men do or at least they think they do since for some it's self-dillusion.
They try easy sex and they don't like, they try easy sex again and the still feel emptiness and they go on until they conclude that either all men are bast-rds or that she can only blame herself for this feeling of emptiness.
Men don't suffer from this - sex is sex is fun times.
The problems start when a women gives it up real easy then expects the guy to offer his life and soul to her and if he doesn't she was tricked. I've known a few women get caught out like this. -

The Blood doctrine - A Medical or Scriptural issue?
by Jourles inif you were to ask any witness whether or not the blood doctrine is scripturally or medically based, you would receive the same answer 100% of the time.
"scripturally, of course.
there is one component in particular which shows the wts uses medically based information to cement its postion on what is and what is not allowed for a witness to accept.

If I asked an informed JW would he agree that GB allowed components of blood including haemoglobin? And is that on pain of conscience?
I did as one young JW, her response was blood transfusion is not allowed full stop. Maybe they are keeping it low profile even amongst members. -

"How many abouts do you see?; He was about thirty."
Historians and scholars will tell you that the word 'about' could be as much as +/- 2 or 3 years. According to comet data they place his birth between March and June 6/7BC. -

Desolation of Jerusalem
by Alwayshere inusing the wts's dates in the january 1.1965 page 29 : nabonidus= 17 years.
add 17 to 539=556, neriglissar==4 years, add 4 to 556=560, evil-marduk=2 years, add 2 to560=562, nebuchadnezzar=43 years, add 43 to 562 =605.
the bible at 2 kings 25: 8 and 9 says "in the 19th year of king nebuchadnezzar the servant of the king came to jerusallem and burned the house of jehovah.

607 verses 586/7 is a battle ground.
Can someone explain me the repercussions if ever the GB admit that they are wrong or if a tablet is found dating conclusively that desolation of Jerusalem occurred on 586/7.
If on the other hand a tablet says the GB are correct do they still have the hurdle of explaining their caculations for 1914 or are those calculations straight forward and easy for say housewife/husband to understand. -

Scholar,
I think it's just to painful for you to contemplate those questions as the true answers destroy the very essence of the God YOU worship.

Fleaman,
If you want to quote me you've got to read my whole thoughts on the matter.
Anger, chip call it what you want hollywood has pick of a few groups and has disseminated racism regarding these groups. -

"This reminds me of a stance I took in an essay. There's a popular school of thought in Literary studies that certain authors, like Rudyard Kipling, are racist.
Just as 'sexist' loses it's meaning the further back in time you go, as there was no 'correct' attitude to compare it with amongst the tide of misogyny, so to does 'racist'. A book written at a time when most people (even those who thought of black people in a positive light) would be called racist by modern standards will tend to show some of those unreconstructed attitudes. "
Clever but sorry this arguement though has some truths doesn't really cut it. Simply ask any Black slave "you know it's 1750 everybody expects you to be a slave so do your bit for white society and don't worry be happy. Jolly good show"
Slave, "Yes sir massa I is a happy slave I knows yo ain't racialist its 1750"
"Also, books and films do not always express the attitude of the author, but may present reportage or fictionalisation of actual events and attitudes."
I know this abaddon. But reality is that too many hollywood films portray too many times the the groups I've mentioned in a bad light, whilst stereotyping their own in good light. That's just a fact. If you want to use that as ammunition to call me a anti-semetic it up to you.
"This showed convincingly that Rudyard may, compared to today, have had some racist attitudes, but that he mostly created characters like those in the world he saw around him; reportage is not racism.
It depends what you do with it. What spin you put on it.
Lets talk about the recent history which still affects these stereotyped people. So we pick racist tendencies from the wider society I then happen to be a film producer and reflect all these in the films I choose to produce. I'll produce a string of negative stereotyping films to report on the state of our society. What's left is white society being reminded whose "good" and whose "bad".
"
In which case Geobels could be justified and accepted as the norm. Right?
Wrong. Portrayal of Goebels is not justification or acceptence of his actions as a norm."
That was my point. It's wrong
A predominantly WHITE society representing corrupt WHITE cops is not much of an issue.
"You miss my point. If (as is so) black people are more likely than white to be a/ poor, and b/ have a criminal record, then a portrayal of areas with large black populations as being poor and criminal is simply reflecting society."
"Like I said. Again. It's the frequency that is the problem."
"The fact that black people are more still likely than white to be a/ poor, and b/ have a criminal record is a sign that despite efforts, in practise society in the USA is still racist even if far fewer individuals are racist than thirty years ago."
And Hollywood knows exactly what to do with this racism.
"I think addressing the issues that prevents true parity in society no matter what race one is is FAR more important than assembling a list of movies someone can assert are racist. "
Well meaning people addressing the issue of drugs is not helped by Hollywood's glamorisation of it. Racism likewise.
"I mean look;
NO, YOU missed the point, a black man in jail AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIN. Give it up Funky
Okay, you going to tell me black people are NOT disproportionately represented in American prisons? Well, you can if you want, but you'd be wrong. It is a fact. Rather than saying a thing about this awful fact, you talk about movies!!!!"
I know it's a fact but "a black man in jail AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
"Damage? There's MORE damage from the social ills that are portrayed than in the protrayal of social ills. And the existnece of social ills is where the real racism lies."
Correct so let's not give the predominantly white society any more excuses to find these groups unsavoury.
I grew up believing that Native Americans were the savages where as in fact whites were the savages.
I'd figured that one out by age seven (33 years ago). About the same age I realised that Germans were now not the enemy. Kids drawing ignorant conclusions is not an indication that which they draw their conclusions from is racist.
So, are you telling me Europeans are stupider than animals? OH MY GOD!!! "
Abaddon what are you talking about? I was merely saying that animals had picked up on the ensuing disaster and scarpered saving themselves.
"Well they certainly stuck to that
I do hope you realise that was humour."
Yes I did!
"Poor rizzo!
Now that's OFFENSIVE.
If you make anti-semetic remarks out of ignorance it's bad enough... congratulations, you've gone from a possibly over-enthusiastic critic of the portrayal of black people in Hollywood movies to sympathising with someone Zeig Heiling. Not a very logical standpoint..."
Abaddon you got the wrong end of the stick. "Poor rizzo" was written in a sacrcastic manner.
