Pallemar, Apparently sexual intercourse makes people married. I read in Genesis 24:67 whereby Rebekeh entered Isaacs tent and 'he took her'. In today's world, especially the JW world, this marriage would be considered 'common law' and just not on. Witchettygrub

how many of you have armed themselves?
by buffalosrfree ini recently bought a high powered rifle and am presently buying a pistol for back-up.
i have a cross bow, a compound bow, and several swords and knives, in fact i have been collecting knives for some time and have learned how to use them in defending myself and in taking the initiative in learning to defend myself.
i am quite versed in using both the croww bow and the compound bow, it seems the goverment doesn't want to defend us and just wants to unarm us.

Hmmmm... I think I'll be going by Black Sheep's suggestion about the 'awesome, short range weapon' and keep a saw handy by the bedside. I'm heading over to Bunnings right now to get the latest. Oh, by the way I'm no granny. WG

'A Fish called Wanda' an oldie but hilarious as each scene is a classic.
Otto (Kevin Kline) steamrolled into the ground at end of movie by stuttery Ken (Michael Palin) in revenge.
Otto flattened - K-k-k-k-Ken.
Ken replies "You b...... Hey, I've lost my stutter. It's gone. I can speak. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
and
Otto to Wendy his girlfriend - "Don't call me stupid"
Wendy in reply "Why not?"
This relationship can only be understood when movie viewed.

Serendipity, another definition of SNAGs .. senile, neurotic, ageing geeks.
Hi Robdar, you speak beautiful truths.
I like this "In time, the infatuation and lust will pass. It has too. Still, it can last up to 10 years. It's the friendship that should develop during this time that will help it last a life time."
I've been married twice and lived with someone. Now I've been with my partner for 10 yrs. We live separately, two houses, and 6 kids between us. Some grown, some teens. We spend time together then go to our respective homes for a break. We may eventually live together, probably not marry legally. More time will tell what will take place.

Hello Sass,
'I know that what I'm losing now is conditional love - I only get to be loved if I affirm your faith.'
I am unable to understand a parent loving their child conditionally! Regardless of what a child does, love covers all. Isn't this the example Jesus set?
I hope in time the pain will pass for you, however, your parents pain will not end as long as they cling to the WTS.
