  Mad Tiger - the senator already said God is everywhere.
  Therefore, God cannot be penalized for not showing up, he is there.
  I wonder if they will penalize him for not being visible...

  Hypocrisy in expectations???

  by metaspy in

  ok, i am not very experienced in the field of females.. recently, my mother and i were talking about courting, and other stuff like that.. a sister recently stopped courting a brother because "he was ready to get married too soon".. i understand rushing into things can get you into trouble.. however, the sister had said (after the first date) "this is the one i want to marry".. so, my question is why the hypocrisy??.

  she was saying he was the one after 1 date; he was - after a month.. she broke it off because he was too quick?!

  this isn't the first time something like this has happened.. i can come up with at least 3 or 4 other relationships where the female has ended it because of the male being too eager.. yet in each circumstance the female was quicker than the male to jump to conclusions.. .

  Are you talking about the installation discs for the Watchtower library??
  If so, I have a bunch I could add to your collection that you are giving away.
  (I could also add a 8-bit NES game of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, lots of those).

  Mum, I do realize the benefits of courting for longer periods of time.
  I was just asking if it is normal for a female to call a male on the carpet for something she already has done.
  Thus blaming the break up on something he is doing, that she has done too.

  However, the sister had said (after the first date) "this is the one I want to marry".
  So, my question is why the hypocrisy??

  My mom says, the man is just supposed to be slower about it and she expects him to be logical.
  She wants someone who knows her better.
  
  Please straighten me out on this subject.
  Are females prone to hypocrisy, or is this a JW thing?
  
  Sorry if some feel I am sexist in asking this.

  Sep KM Question box: Research on the internet is disrespecting the slave

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  well folks, if anyone here thought that the fds weren't being explicit about researching websites or checking the accuracy of the nw bible, you should have been in our hall.. some choice quotes from the "glorious ones".

  the faithful and discreet slave gives us everything we need.

  if we disrespect the slave we are disobeying jehovah god.. .

  Interesting-Account Servant uses his own $ to pay bills

  by Younglove1999 in

  about a month ago we were invited to an old friend from our old congregation to attend a bonfire.

  this was before we finally started telling people were weren't going to meetings.

  at any rate, my husband was talking to the guy who took over the accounts when my husband left and he was saying that donations have dwindled significantly.

  If that were me as the Accounts servant, I would have me and my assistant switch boxes.
  I never in 4 years of being accounts servant ever had the WWW exceed the local box in the course of a month.
  Therefore, I would assume that they had put the money in the wrong box.

  Cog Dis - I do wonder if she is the same person I fell for many years ago.
  From what I have seen, she is. however, she is hurting, I doubt she knows what she wants.
  Not that I can say I know.
  
  thank you all for your support!
