Do you believe that a woman has to be married to be happy?

by MsMcDucket in

i'm just wondering because i was raised to believe that a woman should get married and have children.

i think that this is an out-dated philosophy and that girls shouldn't be taught that they have to be in a marriage to be complete.

please, discuss.

Personally, I don't believe marriage essential to a woman's happiness.

I was happy as a single woman, and now I'm a happily married one.

Pantyhose

by Princess Daisy Boo in

something that has facinated me since i started reading and posting on this board was the whole "women must always wear pantyhose" idea... .

the thought sometimes crosses my mind as to whether or not there were any differences in the borg from country to country - but the only issue i have come across is the pantyhose one.

in south africa, to the best of my knowledge, while i was "in", this was not a requirement - we only wore stockings if the weather required it.

Pantyhose was never a requirement here either.

Sisters mostly wear stockings on formal occasions.

When children leave the "Truth" it breaks the hearts of their parents.

by TooBad TooSad in

last week an elder from the platform said at the kh that "when children leave the "truth" it breaks the.

hearts of their parents.

" this has been rolling around in my brain and i thought that i would jot down.

whole blood but they are allowed to take every freaken fraction that makes up the whole blood.

It is like you can not eat peach pie, however you can eat peaches, sugar, flour, butter, and water.

LOL!! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Why do many JWs neglect their health conditions?

by navytownroger in

my former bible study conductor has heart problems and very high blood pressure, but doesn't seem concerned about it.

another witness i knew had heart problems but never went to doctors, & eventually dropped dead suddenly.

given that cigarette smoking is a disfellowshipping offense, why aren't jws reprimanded when they otherwise neglect & jeopardize their health?

Why spend money on healthcare now, when it'll all be fixed in the New System?

Pioneers who SNEER at those who have "Meterial things" Pathetic!!

by Witness 007 in

went to a meeting after afew years, with mum.

a pioneer brother i know...first question; "so what car do you drive now?

" .

Oh how I remember those days!

I was often "sneered" at because I loved stylish clothes .... "materialistic" was the first word that would pop out of their mouths.

Mind you, I did ldress nice, but I had a talent for designing and sewing them myself. It's not like I spent a lot of money on my clothes. They didn't have to know that though ... heh heh ... I just let them stew in their dumb envy.
