  Do you have a problem with grammar ?

  by oldflame in

  2. friends

  for those who have spelling problems you can go to google and down load their tool bar.

  it has spell check in it and works pretty easy.

  then you will no longer have to listen to us that bitch about spelling.

  My father a good christian(non-JW) took in two homeless JWs as the JW community was not interested in showing christian empathy.
  This example has had a deep influence on me.

  Not sure if I can say I'm here for therapy as I left them over 20 years ago. I went through the emotional roller coaster years ago. I used to have nightmares of armagedon and that I was going to get it. Had this site been around then I think I would have recovered much sooner. But to tell you truth I don't know if I would have been open minded enough to use it.
  
  I like the community and banter here - it's full of intelligent interesting folk.

  If...

  i was thinking of an approximate reversal of force's thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/105552/1.ashx):.

  if something happened which proved beyond any doubt that god (or gods) cannot exist, silencing forever all claims for realistic belief in an objective divinity, shattering even the uncertainty of agnosticism, would you start being interested in theology?.

  i don't mean to discuss the probability of the assumption: it is very unlikely.

  " would you start being interested in theology?"
  
  Yes but only if billions of people still believed in one religion or another and I was interested in theology. Theology would be a window into the inner workings of belief and how cultures and communities are affected by it and ultimately function. This is still a worthwhile persuit even if you personally know for a fact that God does not exist.

  What is something that you consider attractive, and unattractive?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in human sexuality, we all have things that turn us on and things that turn us off, things that attract us and things that don't.

  often people think it is all about what you see in advertising, but often it is smaller things we think less of and yet it dominates our sex drive.

  for example, in a case study we did, we found that a lot of people would immediately answer things like "eyes" or "legs" and yet as we drove deeper into their answers, we found that eyes and legs were not what attracted people.

  To All Women,
  
  From what I've read on this thread I get the impression that male physical looks are not the first thing on your list. Am I right concluding this?
  
  If I am right, then why is it that I always see good looking women with good looking men? And why is it that I can never attract a good looking woman? I'm very average looking.
  If looks aren't so important to women then why do they adore and spend so much on clothes fashion and make-up? Surely external appearance is of critical importance to women. If that is so then where does that leave us guys as far as women are concerned?

  If Democrates means no neocon zionist nazis who are fast steering us to WWIII then they are by miles the better choice. The voting public had better wake up to that.

  I don't want to be a party pooper but I think that they put, "Read your bible daily" lower down, because it is more visible to more people. Who walks neck cranked back looking up 20 floors? At the risk of being lambasted here I think they got it right!!

  greendawn,
  
  " Though a major selling point for them it has no biblical support."
  
  I thought the bible spoke about an earthly paradise that the JWs often like to depict as smiley people with children hugging lions, and sheep nearby thanking their lucky stars they are on nobodies menu anymore?
