  years ago in the awake, they had an article about cancer causes.

  i'm trying to find the date, but it said cervical cancer can be caused by women having multiple partners, and even said one type of cancer was caused by celibacy.. does anyone remember the article?.

  I don't take issue with what was said here except to say that the information is incomplete: A woman can get cervical cancer even if she has had only one partner in her life. Aman having even one other partner (who was infected, i. e.), can pass on the virus to his new partner---even if he is the only partner she has ever had! So a woman--or even a man--can get HPV and/ or cervical cancer--or cancer of the penis--after having only one partner, if it happens that one partner was infected. I clarify this because some people naively believe that the act of having more than one partner IS itself the cause...and believe that by having only ONE partner, they will then be safe. This works only if BOTH partners have been each other's ONLY partner.... [Remember, people--your partner's sexual history becomes YOUR sexual history!! Use discernment, choose wisely, and get tested...both of you--together!--before you have sexual relations.

  lighthouse19something--------I apologize if you already know this stuff. I'm sharing for the sake of those who don't.

  Don't remember the article, but cervical cancer has several risk factors, multiple partners being one of them. (Or, her partner having had more than one partner---you know the deal: Each partner your partner has had is basically the same thing as a partner for you, in terms of risk of catching/ spreading disease.)

  The other cancer they are probably talking about is prostate cancer. Regular ejaculation (at least once a week, maybe?) keeps the prostate in good working order. So you can kind of liken it to a daily need to blow our nose....

  That standing up and acting on your own behalf shows a lack of faith--that we should be 'waiting on Jehovah' to settle things...no matter heinous....

  Has anyone concidered going on a talk show about the JW's?

  by megsmomma in

  not to "hash out" some "personal" issues, but to give the general public the "proof" that the society is spewing nonsense to it's members time and time again about the "end is coming" for all who are not jw's.. it would be easy to get the proof with the recording that we all have access to on here.

  does anyone want to try to contact the different shows with this?

  there are plenty of us who do not care who knows about our views and have nothing to "lose".

  I wonder if basically starting a petition listing people on this site (and/ or elsewhere) who WANT such a show aired could get more leverage, whether with Dr. Phil, Oprah, Tom Leykey (sp?), or whomever. And a separate listing of people willing to talk/ give their stories to be shared could be offered as well. Let them see the strong throng of air-time supporters for this subject. Anyone up for spearheading this? I kind of have a full plate right now for taking on 'collection,' but I'm certainly willing to add voice to both lists.

  Just keeping an ongoing thread alive with people posting to say they want this should be a good start.... Someone could undertake bringing it to the right people with the right power to do something with it. Megsmomma, would you want to start a new topic thread to get the ball rolling?

  megsmomma-------------I have, and I've received feedback from some few others who are also willing, on this issue and separately on the issue of 'sleep rape,' whether by JW's or otherwise. [You can read my early posts to see what that's all about.] Dr. Phil's show has not responded to my email, nor to the ones who've said they've also written. If you want to start another round at it, feel free! I say, the more the merrier, and they have to take notice sometime if we keep at it!

  Online Dating etiquette

  by serendipity in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i ran across this info and thought it would be good to share since there are some here who are using online dating sites like match and plentyoffish.

  i've been a bit surprised by some of the men emailing me, demonstrating that this info is not common knowledge.

  (i'm not suggesting that men alone are guilty.

  I'm rather leery of meeting someone online now; I'd rather deal in the real world. You never know though,....

  I felt that way, too, until just recently when I've seen that a few different friends of mine have had success with it. Plus, my 'real world' circumstances don't afford as many good opportunities for meeting...ahem!...quality males of interest. I won't go into why.

  But I did hit it off with a doctor on a plane ride home after the holidays last weekend...surprised the heck out of me! He called tonight--finally! (It's been since Sat.) I was out grocery shopping. Sigh! There's 'real world' for ya!

  BTW, when I say I want to meet 'quality' males (doctor, e.g.), I'm not referring to income status but intelligence and interests overlapping my own. There are plenty of quality males out there...it's finding the one who shares interests with me that is the challenge.

  Help settle a debate. Internet relationships...

  a stay at home dad posted on craig's list that he was looking for platonic email correspondance with a lady, someone to talk about life with, insights into relationships, a reason to turn on the computer in the morning et cetera....... my fiance occasionally finds herself seeking relationships with select people online and getting into soulful conversations with them.

  she feels that people can be their truest selves in these moments.

  to share the quirks of life with random fellow americans is somehow thrilling to her.

  Not sure about the rest of the issues, but I'm sure about this: Forget about the 'subjection' objection. That will only backfire. Come up with better reasons than that to reason with. Respecting your feelings can be a huge one.... But then, respecting hers might suggest that you let her do her thing--as long as it's done with 'full transparency,' as Dr. Phil would say it.

  If you are showing an active interest in the new online friendships she is forming, it could be a thing that draws you two together. It respects her need to have friends (whether virtual or in person), and she would certainly appreciate your supportive attitude toward that. Just keep everything out in the open--which she seems to be doing already.

  That third picture--with the beard--looks JUST LIKE one of the guys I've dated!! Just give him a little deeper olive skin and Saudi-black hair, and you've got it! UNREAL!!! [He was a Saudi Arabian Muslim, BTW--nonpracticing.] --I should download that! I'd have a "pic" of Ibrahim.
