Declaring lifelong celebacy would be a great way to hide impotency.
I would think that the majority of people who vow celebacy actually do have some sort of medical condition.

Deep thoughts: conditional love
by greenie inso, i know people talk a lot on here about how love is conditional for jws (ex.
as soon as you're not one, you've often lost jw family and friends).
in my own situation, many of you have counseled me to get out of my relationship (for those that don't know, i'm not a jw, my partner is).

Word it a different way, would you love him unconditionally if he were physicaly abusive?
Wouldn't your love be conditional if you refused to continue a relationship with such a person?
I agree with John Doe

I know I have pointed many times for Eve to transgress under 'normal' biological cycling without benefit of pregnancy is if she was in the garden only a week or two.
Ya, by that time she was craving chocolate, but it hadn't been invented yet.

Dumbest Awake Title Ever?
by metatron ini hold in my hand the nov. awake magazine entitled "technology - blessing or curse?"..
now, i understand the need for balance and moderation in using technology, as the magazine says - but could they come up with a more intelligent sounding title?
it makes the question sound as if abandoning technology might be a solution, a considered choice, a real possibility.

A while back they had one titled "What would we do without donkeys?"
In it they declared that donkeys were, and I quote, "worthy of respect"

I'd love to tell, and I would if this were a private thread.
But some of us are still trying to keep a low profile.

Go somewhere that you don't have to keep a conversation going so you don't have to worry about ackward silences.
Show a polite interest in her kids but not to much. When I was a single mom and dating, one guy just seemed too interested in my kids, I did not like it, it sent up red flags for me. Maybe he was just trying to get on my good side but it made me very uncomfortible and I would not go out with him a second time.
Have fun and remember she is nervous too!

I use to know an elder that would blurt out the most inapropriate things, he had zero tact, he seemed to have no empathy or understanding of other peoples emotions.
I know, I know, he sounds like the typical elder, but this guy was different, it didn't matter what the situation was he never seemed to "get" what was going on around him and therefore he would behave in socially unacceptible ways. I was good friends with his wife and he would constantly blurt out details of their sex lives, etc.
He also was a history buff and knew every minute detail of his particular field. He also knew, and could recall, the birthday of every person he ever met. Also the birthdays of every historical person in his field and the birthdays of every one of their family members.
I knew him from his late twenties till his late thirties, he was an only child.
Does this man sound like he is on the autistic spectrum?

Malawi proof?
by AwSnap inhi, i remember reading crisis of conscience, and being really upset by that malawi cover-up situation.
is any of that in public record?
if i remember correctly, wasn't most of that information kept on the down-low?

Awsnap, I'm not sure what info you are looking for but the Malawia business was in the Watchtower. The society printed the info about what was happening.

It does no abuse victim any good whatsoever to ever lay blame for their rape at the feet of an invisible, remote and silent creature, anymore than it does to tell the same person to pray to another invisible, remote and silent creature for aid, comfort and/or encouragement.
extremely good, often overlooked point.
