  as you may (doubtfully) or may not (more likely) know, there's a certain girl at the kh i'm interested in.

  very interested in.

  the more i talk to her, the more i think she likes me back (i've always been a good judge of character, knock on wood :p ) .

  You're all exactly right (cept wanderlustguy :P ) .
  
  Oh well. I'll just have fun while it lasts .
  
  And now, wanderlustguy:
  
  "Dude...you're 17, and while you may think you know a lot about you now, you don't know jack. Think back to when you were 12, that was just five years ago. How much of the stuff you were interested in at 12 are you still into now? Just as you changed that much over those few years, you will continue to do so over the next 10-15. You don't even know what religion you are for crying out loud, how can you expect to know who you want to live your life with? "
  
  
  You're right up until the last sentance. I know exactly what JWs are. It's a cult. But the latter half is true.
  
  "Of course I remember when I was your age I knew every damn thing and was so in love with whichever girl was the closest or giving me some attention. The Truth has your mind all screwed up still, and you have to fix that FIRST, then figure out who you really are SECOND, and figure out what you want to do the rest of your life, and go about getting in the position to do it. After you do all of that...you might be in the position to screw someone elses life up by merging your goals into a long term relationship."
  
  The 'Truth' hasn't controled me for several years. And I've been learning who I am in that time. And I am setting up the rest of my life....kinda :P .
  
  "It's time to think with your mind...not your eyes, hands and wee wee. Women are not a possession, a slave, or someone to cater to you. Until you can see them as equal as a person...you will have it really hard.
  
  Force yourself to get a grip on reality...it's not something they can teach you in The Truth."
  
  And this is downright insulting. The whole reason I like her is because I can see her as equal. And I don't look at her because I'm horny, that's also not what I'm looking for. And, finally, I havn't heard a word they've taught in the truth for quite a while.

  As you may (doubtfully) or may not (more likely) know, there's a certain girl at the KH I'm interested in. VERY interested in. I'm almost 17, she's almost 15.
  
  The more I talk to her, the more I think she likes me back (I've always been a good judge of character, knock on wood :P ) .
  
  And I'm taking the advice given. I'll just stay freinds for now, get to know her, etc. We're both too young blah blah.
  
  But I can't help but think about the future!
  
  What if we do end up liking each other? I'd want to stay in contact with her after I turn 18. Her parents aren't going to let that happen with some "Worldly scum".
  
  The only possible solution I can make is this:
  
  When I turn 18, learn for certain how she feels about the religion. If she's devout, I'll tear out my heart, and leave her. If she doesn't belive it (she acts like I did at her age :P), I'll HAVE to stay for an additional 2 years.
  
  A relationship needs communication and contact. 2 years apart doesn't sound like it'd work.
  
  This is the number 1 problem I'm dealing with, and that's a good thing. It's so far off, I sholdn't worry, but this is the first time I've felt like this about a girl, and I've wanted to feel like this for a very long time.

  As a DUB, what did you do and hid so as not to stumble anyone?

  by megsmomma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking of all the "concious matters" that you could do if you wanted, but would not tell anyone so you wouldn't get in "trouble".

  one thing that came to my mind is when after having my baby, i wanted to join weight watchers...there were two meeting places to choose from...one close to me and in a church....and one quite far not in a church.

  well, i went to the one in the church, always worried someone would see me(but i didn't really think it was a big deal) so, what did you all hide?

  Video games....guh...
  
  So what if every other character casts fire spells? And every character that doesn't do that chops up people with a sword.
  
  Amazing thing, mom let me get Final Fantasy 3. She read the back (As always), and thankfully, it goes more into detail with the jobs system and 'conquering evil' than magic.

  Offended by this week's watchtower?

  by Anony-Mouse in

  it was about marriage.

  personally, i think woman should be equals in a relationship, not the man as absolute ruler that listen's to his subject when it pleases him.

  it just irritates me that women will never be considered truly equal in jws.

  But it's not like to go all out to degrade women.
  
  What do you girls out there think about the organisation or bibles view on women?

  So there's this girl...

  there's this girl at our congregation.

  i thought she was cute and all...but one day she actually comes up and talks to me.

  i'm a shy person at the meetings, but once you get to know me, i'm plenty fun :p .

  So what if I'm 16? Almost 17!
  
  Anyways...
  
  There's this girl at our congregation. I thought she was cute and all...but one day she actually comes up and talks to me.
  
  I'm a shy person at the meetings, but once you get to know me, I'm plenty fun :P .
  
  So it struck me as odd.
  
  So we talk and all, it was enjoyable.
  
  And so thusly, I had my first crush.
  
  This week, so volunteers to help us move. I, of course, think that she wants to be near me (why else? :P ). She even complemented my shoes that night!
  
  Tonight at the meeting, she talks to me again. She initiated conversation and all. Just small talk, but I'm all excited cuz I'm a dorky little kid :P . But she is going to give me a music CD...that's as good sign methinks.
  
  The problems are: I'm not aware of her status as a JW, meaning in or out. The music CD apparently has some bad language, she asked me if I was bothered by it. That means she isn't either. I'm mainly scared that if anything happens, she'd stick with the religion and tear my heart out.
  
  And then there's the fact that she's 2 years younger than I am...while that doesn't bother me SO much (adult's age's vary all the time), I'm young. It's more important around this age.
  
  
  
  
  
  I wouldn't mind a female freind, it's good practice getting used to the gender :P .

  As far as I've heard, Baghdad was taken largly in part by dropping a MOAB next to the city. It's just a step down from a nuke, no nuklear material, but really big explosion.
  
  It makes you wonder...if they had dropped it in an empty place, there for the japanese to see, would they have surrendered? The could have used the second bomb if that didn't work.
  
  Either way, the allies won. Sadly, at the loss of civilian casualties.
  
  But now Japan is cool, and we love each other :P .

  Repulsed by the thought

  yesterday, i was cleaning out the dark recesses of my purse and found the blood card.

  i was going to throw it away but stopped.

  after doing some research on blood in the bible, i no longer believe in the jw blood doctrine.

  I got angry once I told mom that I hated it all. She had given me my blood card a year or so before then for some reason. Well, I found it, tore it up, and set it out for her in a fit of rage (was very mad ^^).
  
  Well, she saw it, came to me on the verge of crying.
  
  She told me it was a legal document. She had signed it for me, or something. Anyways, legal sumsuch.
  
  Made me feel terrible to see her like that though...:( .
  
  
  If I ever get into that situation, am I able to veto her decision? I'm sure she'd let me die, as terrible as that is to say. Dad is worth more than I am, and if I die, god will be that much more willing to let her live forever, and for him to be resurected.
  
  The way I see it, even if I can't 'get past' the blood card, the doctor would work with me. I hope I'm concious if that happens...

  Sorry about the 2 letters :P .
  
  I think it was written 'stories' because we all remember that good old book: "My book of Bible stories."
  
  But that would mean that the society realises they are just stories, and not fact... Or maybe their dictionary is different from ours. Or maybe yours is :P . Who knows ^^ ?

  What do you think about gays and abortion now.......................?????

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you saw the wt for what it was and realized it was not the truth, how did that affect your thoughts on subjects like homosexuality or abortion for example.. did you start to think differently suddenly or did it take a long time ?.................or maybe you havent changed your minds on what the wt condemns.. i was quite shocked at how i accepted my teenage son was sexually active and i talked to him about condoms and this being an important thing in his and gfs life and where they sure they were ready.

  i didnt tell him not to do it !.

  actually i think i always had my thoughts on different subjects that werent in line with the org, i just pushed what i really thought to the back of my mind.. there are many different subjects name one that you relate to.. .

  Gay guys? No problem.
  <br><br>Lesbians? I want an invitation ^^ .
  <br><br>But abortion is tricky. Automatically I think it's terrible, but then I realize there are circumstances. Like rape.
  <br><br>If I had a girlfreind or wife that got raped (NEVER want that to happen), and she got pregnant...I'm not sure what I would do. I would support her either way. But I'd try and encourage her to keep it, unless she really didn't. You shouldn't kill a defensless child (It would be my duty, and hers to defend an unborn child). That baby is still a baby, genetics or not. Just because he exists through something so terrible, doesn't mean he's guilty.
  <br><br>Everyone deserves a chance, even if circumstances of birth are terrible.

  Things are so bad that people are dieing from having too much food!

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  the wts loves to talk about "how bad things are getting", yet they always fail to talk about problems like this: there is now so much food available in the world that people are dieing from eating too much.

  for the first time in history there are more obese people than starving people.. .
