That was very brave of you. It's hard to do the right thing sometimes, but it makes you feel good. Anyway, just think, if you got together with her, would she be secretly texting some other guy?

I finally did the right thing
by cyberdyne systems 101 ini had been friendly to a woman i met recently and wanted to take things further, but found out she was with someone when i asked if she wanted my number.
i bumped into her again two weeks later and she then asked for my number, so i asked her again was she with someone, she said yes but she could still text me.
my gut reaction through mistakes i have made in the past was to not get involved.

Yep, God forbid the Kinkdumb Hell should resemble a social club....it'd be the only social club those poor people get, and now they're taking that away too! This reminds me of an earlier thread about how some fun was permitted in the 70's and 80's, and how it's all been squashed.
Again, I ask, how do they keep anybody???

I don't care if gay people get married, like anyone else. I just say, "Be careful what you ask for!" I think they're focused on the perceived joys of marriage, and some will inevitably discover the pain of divorce, as well. But they asked for all the same joy and pain and rights to experience alimony, visitation fights over the kids, divorce court, reduced standard of living after selling the family home, attorney fees, etc. It will be interesting, ten years from now, to see if the bloom is off the rose!
For those who press on into happily ever after, I wish them all the best. Just be careful it's everything you thought it would be!
When my partner and I split in the 90's, she just bought out my share of the house, signed over one of the cars to me, and life went on for her and her new girlfriend. Painful, but no lawyers or divorce court. I compare the relative ease with which we parted ways with how complicated a split could be if my husband and I got a divorce...lawyers, court, a judge dividing assets, someone getting stuck with the bills, months of waiting, changing my name back on documents and checks if I so chose, the house and cars, the retirement investments, etc.... no simple "I met someone else, and I'm moving out this weekend."
T'will be interesting...

Moving to where the need is great
by Lady Lee inmany jws sold their homes and moved across country to serve where the need was great.
in the last couple of years i have remembered several people who moved from western canada to quebec where we were told the need was great out west.
some sacrificed their families, friends to go it alone.

My cousin flops back and forth between home, with her parents, and Paraguay. She goes to where the need is mucho for awhile, then Daddy flies her back home. She is close to thirty, has shown no interest in marriage, or getting a job and her own place. Yet, the congo is so proud of her, doing Jehoopla's missionary work. Or whatever they call it nowadays. I think she's avoiding growing up and standing on her own two feet.

Yes, that article brings back bitter memories. I was the only daughter of an elder, and very much into women's issues. I would constantly ask why women had to do this or that, and men didn't. The girls in our Hall were a lot smarter than many of the boys, and yet, they boys were the future heads of the family and the congregations? Couldn't go along with that crap. I was warned by my Father, that I would never get a husband, if I didn't change my attitude to a more submissive one. I replied, "Good! I don't want one anyway, if that's what it takes!" He was very exasperated with me.
I have a husband now, and we do have our issues, but I can speak my mind because we are equals. I don't have to put a McDonald's napkin on my head to pray, and there is no head of our household, and a submissive one.

Does It Bother You That Some Posters Give Misinformation???

"Won't you all look stupid when Armageddon comes!"
by jgnat ini've often pondered the impossibility of arguing with an armageddon-believer.
it's like, the only way you can prove they are wrong is out-wait them.
and if they refuse to set a date, well, you'd be staring the poor prophet down when you are wobbly, grey, and snaggle-toothed.

It's kind of like the mentality of trying to put up with a dreary job and counting the days till retirement. Some I've worked with are so focused on that date, they have literally worked themselves to death, and forgot to enjoy each day of life along the way! They died before it ever came.
Jgnat, believing in the imminence of Armaggeddon equates with how much faith you are showing in
CrooklynGod.One way to prove how strong you are, is to display ( or at least talk about it) your certainty it's coming any second, and Jehoopla will take care of you. They have little barometers they judge each other by, and blathering on about Armageddon a lot is one of them. -

WT monitors sites?
by Gordy inthere was a post on the other day someone was asking about whether the wt monitors websites such as this and other "apostate" sites.. unfortunately i couldn't find it to add this to it.
i remembered a jw who worked on installing computers at london bethel, some time ago telling me that the wt did monitor websites.
this jw is gradually fading away from being one, so can't say to much about him.

Jourles, I have high speed internet thru a cable provider. My laptop is connected to a wireless Linksys router. Would the router scramble my ISPaddress, or at least make it difficult to trace me? Suffer the fools like me, lol, who don' t know a lot about computers and haven't had enough coffee!
