  20+ year age difference?

  I'm guessing serious 'Daddy Issues' and/or gold-diggers.

  so i've been working out of town the last month and i'm back home for a couple of weeks to attend a conference and some business meetings.

  my mom while i was away has been concerned about my meeting attendance (haven't gon in almost a year, except memorial) - even when i was home she was concerned.

  so today, when we met up for dinner - inevitibly, my meeting attendance came up as a topic of concern.

  Glad it's working it out well for you. It really does help to take a breath and think before acting rashly.

  But that was 3 days ago.

  Asked a co-worker to join Egg and me for my BD dinner...

  by White Dove in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  he's a guy and upon request, he gave me his e-mail address so he could give me a yes or a no to my invitation to join us tonight for dinner.. after i asked him if he'd like to join us, he snickered and said i don't know.

  give me a couple of hours to think about it.

  i asked him four hours later if he had decided, yet, but he hadn't even thought about it yet.. i said that it's not a test question, no right or wrong answer.. he asked where and i said it's a nice place uptown.. he said that he needed to think about it because of the dress up thing.. i said he didn't need to dress up, that just slacks and a nice shirt would do.. that was two days ago, and i haven't heard back from him, yet, although i did e-mail him so he could let me know.. i'm the wheels for the evening, so i needed to know so i could pick him up, or not.. does no answer (seems like avoidance) mean no, or is there some other excuse that might (wanna say rescue his ass but won't say it) be plausible?.

  Lack of timely answer means that he could not think of graceful way to decline and was hoping you'd forget and move on to someone else. Or waiting to hear who else is attending. Just the three of you can be too much pressure for some people.

  He might be thinking that Birthday Dinner is more intimate than he is interested.

  Also, since it's your birthday, he might be thinking you expect him to pick up the tab.

  Have a nice Birthday Dinner without him.

  Maybe invite co-workers and/or neighbors out for a quick drink after your shift? 3 or 4 co-workers for 30 minutes is easy to 'endure' for those who are timid or uncertain.

  Have a nice Birthday Dinner without him.

  DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

  i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

  There may or may not be Bethelites assigned to monitor this site. I don't know.

  But I would be very surprised if one of our resident apologists DIDN'T call Bethel when they have a specific 'breach' documented.

  They probably got several calls.

  I believe Simon himself was confronted about this site in a JC.

  A few years ago, Simon wrote: It was clear that this was *the* biggest factor in the whole affair. They wanted to know if I'd be willing to take it down and hinted that this whole affair could probably be forgotten about if I did. They wanted to know how many people visited the site. I leaned forward in my chair and said "about 16,000 a week" (it's gone up a bit since then!) and then added "that's more than you get at a district convention once a year isn't it?". I really like that 'seething elder look'.
