  I've been married too long to remember what our first official date was, but I think it had to do with 1) meal/restaurant (which is like a fly-over where you gather critical bird's eye view intelligence) and then 2) a walk around an active setting, in this case a downtown river boardwalk with arts/shops/scenery/tons of people, the idea being that the pressure came off the 1-to-1 'confrontational' conversation and now became a comparison of reactions to new stimuli, where the actual self might be more easily revealed (for both of your benefits).

  rmt1-- I like your observations.

  carrying a condom just in case

  Carry three condoms, just in case. Sometimes they do break or don't go on right, etc. Don't expect to use them on the first date...just make sure you have more than one for when the time comes.

  Okay, never mind the seatbelt thing.

  What's this about her husband being 30 years younger? How the heck does this happen???

  Doctrinal ramifications of large increase in 2008 memorial partakers?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the nearly 10% increase in partakers at the memorial in the 2008 annual service report is a huge increase.

  there were increases in the previous years too.. this massive increase is no doubt attributeable to the 'new light' this year that the calling of the 'heavenly class' was not closed in 1935, as previously taught.

  the new understanding this year is that the calling of the 'anointed' class is 'evidently' still open.

  Does anyone have a scan of the article where they said the heavenly class was not closed in 1935?

  She has her period and asks you to buy her some Tampons at the supermarket...again....no sorry I'm wrong that means we fancy her...."

  Actually, I would never ask a guy to buy tampons for me, UNLESS I really liked him. And, yeah--I would hope that he's into me enough too, to be willing.

  Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and those who leave cults

  quite a few people on jwd have said they suffer from complex post traumatic stress disorder ( c-ptsd).

  i'm not sure how well this issue has been discussed.

  c-ptsd is slightly different than ptsd.

  JWs and Domestic Violence

  by Amha·’aret in

  i remember when i was in my early teens finding out about a jw brother who was hitting his jw wife.

  her parents were also witnesses and were disgusted with his behaviour (and rightly so).

  i was completely shocked at the time, thinking those kinds of things just didn't happen among a loving brotherhood.

  SORRY I MADE YOU ILL

  Mouthy-- Please...no need to apologize nor to explain anything; I meant that I felt ill for your sake, on behalf of what you've gone through. I hope you find all that you are looking for, for your future.

  (((( HUGS ))))

  I think about how I drove him to bash me.....

  Mouthy-- Okay, this sentence makes me ill. I feel for you, that you've been so beaten down and indoctrinated with the classic 'blame the victim' mentality that, even after all these years, you still believe you could be to blame for your husband's violent temper. Not your fault, Hon...and I know you don't mean for other abuse victims to think that they are at fault for being abused, either.

  Prince Is In BIG Trouble With Gays!

  according to the new yorker magazine, the la times' the envelope and perez hilton's blog, prince slammed gays and gay marriage in a recent interview.

  the perez hilton blog has a number of jw sympathizers going at it with those slamming him and the witnesses.

  Prince's mother was a JW.

  Are you sure? I've never heard that.

  Prince is bisexual--no doubt about that. Unrelated to that, he is also a "megalomaniac" [old term for narcissist], by his own admission in Rolling Stone Magazine. He's what's known as a 'somatic narcissist,' the kind who overfocuses on bodily pleasures/ extremes/ vanity/ hubris. He is not the 'cerebral' kind, so even though he's a musical genius, his narcissism plays out more in sensual than cerebral ways. --I've done a lot of reading on the personality disorder. Sam Vaknin has been a huge souce on the subject.
