  by BCberean in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i think i just lost another man because of the 'sex within the confines of marriage' issue.. my sister said i should wait til i have them hooked before i make it clear where i stand.. doesn't seem quite honest to me......but....i'm wondering if i'm somehow sabotaging the relationship.. .

  It looks like he is giving you an ultimatum (not fair regarding the subject = your integrity) what's next?

  But, but, but : how long is this relationship running? 1 or a few weeks / 3 months / 6 months / 1 year / more ?

  you don't really have to answer those questions here but (think about it) :

  Are you still virgin?
  Why do you stand on this kind of integrity? (is it to make sure that he wants to marry you before you give it (that's an ultimatum back to what's next? but from you) - or is it because of your morality on the matter? or anything else?
  
  Also :

  Marriage is not a real guaranty - you may want to think about it - but your integrity is somehow - he/they might want to think about it

  Take care there was a time when this kind of integrety was well appreciated, in knowing that men usualy found ways to get what they wanted if needed somewhere else anyway - now most women do too ... So knowing how you fit together in the matter before marriage can finally be something you/him/they want to know about. (but I guess wanting to be sure he really loves you is still more important - than getting married)

  Now if you get this kind of reaction with every boyfriends you had - Question : what else (if anything) are you old school about? (maybe you make them think that they will have too much to deal with way before to know if they really love you (and by then want to marry you)

  Could the WTBTS get JWs to kill?

  by serotonin_wraith in

  i'm not saying those in power would even contemplate doing this, but i wonder just how far jws would go to obey their leaders.

  would they go as far as to kill, if they thought god had given that message to 'his people'?.

  it would probably take years of subtle changes in their message so that it didn't come as a big shock.

  Are Your Morals The Same As When You Were A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess that i can say, from a biblical viewpoint, anyone that practices "fornication", having sex without being married, would be "immoral".

  other than, i don't lie or cheat or steal or even kill anyone else!

  do you view yourself a "moral" or "immoral" person and why?

  I don't think I ever really had a moral ... only feelings about things

  Not a fan ... but the novel "big bazar" from his book "dreams and nightmares" for instance ... really cracked me up (too funy at the end)
  to the point I've read to my sister (since she doesn't like to read) instead of watching a movie

  You seem to take the position that the concrete is better in all cases than the abstract. I, however, disagree.

  Do You Have "Spiritual" Children?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  dear nurturing and caring friends,.

  apart from religion - if that is where you are at this time in your personal development - do you have younger companions whom you view as "spiritual children"?

  some whom you watch after and advise [with prudence and caution, of course], whose successful life course is of intense concern to you?.

  OY ... I was totally off topic (really didn't understand the question actually) ... so the answer is no I don't have spiritual children

  And it's cool to read that some of you do have spiritual Children BTW

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the world becomes a smaller and smaller place, due to advances in technology, there is increased opportunity for persons of different races and cultures to meet and start families.. will the the differences between the races start to disappear as a result?.

  do you believe this would be a positive or negative development?.

  John Doe ! thanks (for showing in short, clear and english the fallacy of Terry's arguments).

  so to all of you ...

  This is something you all might want to read bebore arguing with someone likeTerry / Religious or creationists / Evolutioniste ANYBODY who absolutely wants to prove that their opinion weight like pure logic or proof ...

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies (with example)

  without proof the only thing we are left with are opinions, as well as without the very same experience in being the very same person.

  What Does Being Spiritual Mean To You?

  by sweet pea in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right now, to me being spiritual is all about being led by your inner spirit and includes .

  1. being in tune with the goodness within and treating people how you would like to be treated.

  2. being in tune with nature and appreciating the beauty and complexity of the universe.
