i have almost completed the first year of my adult life (since 18) as a bachelorette and was wondering what others' experience of singledom is?
what would you say are the advantages to being single (other than being able to pioneer .
what are the things you miss the most about a relationship?.
:::: I can join as many writing/poetry/creative meetings and groups as I want with out worrying about whether it's going to conflict with someone else's schedule. ::::
Oh and here I was worried you were going to do something nerdy
LOL! Before you write it off too fast, you need to see some of the gorgeous ladies that show up at these events.
i broke down and ordered an amazon kindle out of weakness.
i just couldn't resist!
i love new technology and gadgets that make life easier.
Now I can store books on this device and actually be able to read without the negative effects of looking at a computer screen. "electronic ink" technology makes the screen look like real paper.
I need to look into this. I can't imagine that I'll ever stop collecting actual paper books, but it would be cool to be able to bring a whole series or more with me in one device. The problem I have is it has to really look like a book or it will give me a headache. I just can't do long reading on the computer.
i was just thinking about this the other day, about how my ideas of a romantic partner have changed since being a jw.. growing up, i thought i would marry a very upstanding jw, we would pioneer together, do missionary work, have children, see the world.
(never had any thoughts about bethel, though.
) so what it boiled down to was a stepford husband, up tight, not the least bit sexual, closed minded bore.. so now that i have grown up, seen the world, been married (and actually picked a good man the first time, although it didn't work out), i just contrast that with what i am attracted to now.. i like them open minded, earthy, i love artistic types because i am a published writer, hair doesn't matter to me (long/short, bald, etc), challenges convention, very sexual, still like a traveling man.. i am just curious if you anyone else can compare and contrast how their ideas have changed since breaking out the group-think of the jw organization..
Honesty. Oh, and can't get enough of me.

I miss physical contact more than anything. Sex is a part of that, but even sitting on the couch watching a movie or sleeping late together.
The good things about being single is I don't have to check with anyone else when I want to do anything. I can join as many writing/poetry/creative meetings and groups as I want with out worrying about whether it's going to conflict with someone else's schedule. My friends are having their karaoke contest again and I get to be a judge. Woohoo! I can do my comedy thing without getting permission first. I decide when I go to bed. I decide when I get up.
(just some sunday morning reflections on my part.
she left the truth?.
about 25, i think.. after the disfellowship, did you continue to love your son?.
Coming from you Abandoned, that's a real compliment.
You just made my day. Thank you very much. ((((((((((((journey-on))))))))))))

Very clever. You did a wonderful job on that.
i have been wanting very badly to understand god and the bible.. if it is so important for us to:.
act a certain way.
perform certain rituals.
Maybe it's because the only thing that's required is to experience life. Maybe he doesn't need anything from us. Maybe we're not going to understand all the answers. Maybe there is something amazing when we die. Maybe the best solution now, is to just be in awe with what we get to do and feel and see and touch.
or are they not in the 144000, and do you think the members of gb really think that they are directed by god , or dont want to rock the boat ,and enjoy power , how do they get promoted to gb and do they havet o wait till one snuffs it before getting in the gang just curious
Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
Rules and rules and rules they brought
Justice and mercy they must have forgot
They sat in their room with their large wooden table
Where they poured out pure nonsense from their own golden ladle
The people who trusted them followed each word
To the letter they followed each word as they heard
They followed their words to the pit of despair
Yes they followed, now knowing, that the men didn't care
When problems arose in the congregations they ruled
They added more rules and then sought out new fools
Their teachings of old they tossed in the fire
As they lead their poor people through the muck and the mire
But not all remained fooled. Some came to their senses
When the old men found out they made up new offenses
They chastised the wise as they threatened the scared
They created an environment where nobody dared
The years passed on by and the old men grew older
Young men were appointed and their pride made them bolder
Yes bolder even still then the old men that started
This religion, this watchtower, which smelled like God farted
After years of instructions that imprisoned pure logic
An end finally came but it wasn't so tragic
As the old men had predicted at their large wooden table
Because all that they taught turned out to be fable.

of course, your mileage may vary.
my favorite "romantic" movie is probably "so i married an axe murderer.
My all time favorite romantic song is:
The Glory of Love by Peter Cetera
My second all time favorite romantic song is:
Making Memories of Us by Keith Urban
Not quite as much as the two above, but this one usually makes me cry as well:
You'll Think of Me also by Keith Urban
