  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.

  Been there and done that, so I am speaking from experience....YES! It is a sign of BOTH.

  Everyone has their drug of choice: Some over-eat, some are alcoholics, some beat the crap out of their kids,......everyone has a sin that they migrate toward when they have "issues" in their lives that they don't know how to deal with. Sex can be used just like any other drug.

  It makes you feel wanted, special, confident, and empowered. But like any other drug, when the feeling wears off, you feel miserable and sick. A lot of people think it is because you were used, but in many cases, I believe that you feel just as bad about using someone else. Sometimes they are under the impression that you must really think they are great, when actually you just want them to leave you the heck alone. Why can't they just act like nothing happened? Not everyone is wired that way. It's hard to grasp when you live that kind of lifestyle.

  Now that I am on the other side of it and see it for what it really was, I am relieved that I made it through without anything really bad happening, although I had few close calls. I can tell you that every time I had sex with someone, it took a piece of my soul away. Nothing I could do would ever fill the gaps. Thankfully, Jesus did what I could never do. My soul is repaired, and my sanity returned!

  What I find very upsetting now, is when I run into one of my old "flames" and they think I must still be like that. It was a long time ago and I grew up and got a life. Time for them to do the same! I own my past, but that was who I was then, not who I am NOW!

  Okay....I've decided!!!!!

  Drum roll please..........................

  LADY MARILYN is our new dog's official new name!

  Love the name Carlie. I'm going to keep that one open, incase I am ever pregnant again and have a little girl. Doubt that it will happen, but just in case....

  This dog is quite a Lady and in honor of Marilyn's birthday, I think Lady Marilyn is an excellent name for her. It truly does suit her.

  Thanks for all the input!

  If you have all of your ducks in a row and know how to merely ask the right questions at the right time, you could provide them with the mental freedom that you now have. Without arguing, without insulting them, but just by merely asking questions and pointing out facts like you did on their first visit. God bless you either way!

  These things are not accidents. Just goes to show that even the WTS cannot smother true love. Keep loving your Mom and maybe one day she will be free too.

  Looks like Lassie in the face. About the size and build of a border collie. Looks a little sway-backed, due to all the puppies she has had. Wish I could post a photo of her, but alas! I am computer ignorant, and really do not know how. (Sorry!)

  My son wants to call her Lassie, but that has been done to death in our area and I really would like something a little more unique. I've made up my mind that I'm going to pick a suggestion from THIS forum, however. So keep the ideas coming!

  Happy Birthday, Marilyn! :0)

  So far I like all the suggestions, except for "Billy". (Sorry, but she is too much of a lady for that one!)

  NAME A MISREPRESTED QUOTE IN WT PUBLICATIONS?

  Don't know if this counts as a mis-quote, but I found it interesting none-the-less.

  The New World (1942) pg.323 states that the King of the South is Egypt, while the Daniel's Prophecy book pg.284 says that the King of the South is the QUEEN of Zenobia (Syria). Never mind the change of location---how about that gender bender???!!!

  If God is leading the WTS, how could He make such mistakes? It would seem that He would get it right the first time. Unless it really isn't God who is leading the WTS........

  Just a thought!

  Just adopted a collie mix from the pound. 4 yrs. old and has had about as many litters of puppies, from the looks of her. Very smart and gentle. Overlooked, due to her shyness around all the noise at the pound. Truly wonderful at heart.

  Needs a name! Previous owners said she was left there when they moved in and didn't know what her name was.

  Thought it might be fun to seek help from the JWD forum! Lots of brilliant minds here, and I figure you might be able to help me come up with a proper and fitting name for a "diamond in the rough".

  Any ideas????

  A friend of mine was molested as a child. Not by a JW, by the way.

  She is a JW wanna-be, studying for several years, but never baptized. I had thought about sending an anonymous mailing with the Silent Lambs web site address to her. If she didn't know anything about them and she accessed the web site, do you think any of it would sink in?

  I had asked her several questions about the blood rule of the WTS, to which she had no good answers at all, and she knew it. I noticed that she had another blood brochure, but wasn't as willing to show that one to me. I had previously asked many questions about the "can blood save lives?" publication. This was a different one. I can't remember what it was called. If any of you know, would you pass it on to me? I'd like to get a hold of one. She hid her's under some books when I got there, so I knew she didn't really want to talk about it. Maybe she knew that none of it really makes sense.

  Any help you can give is appreciated!

  A Dr. Pepper commercial!!!

  This girl and guy are on a date and he starts talking about things that absolutely do not interest her, and she is nodding politely and smiling while she hears a cathcy little song in her head; "Ma-na-ma-naaah, ma-na-ma-naaah......"

  I think of that commercial so often, especially when I am held hostage by someone who insists on telling me (in great detail) about something that I am clearly not interested in.

  Amazingly, I also am more careful to observe others that have that same glazed look in their eyes, when I am yakking about things that don't interest them! Ha!

  Great commercial!
