In a recent thread my emotions ran from hurt to angry to disgust at the language used toward women.
The tone of which appear to grade and value women like cattle that are herded through an auction ring.
Would you allow some Man to grade your mother, sister, daughter with these words in your presence?
I believe the expressions made represent about 2% of the men on JWD.I maybe going out on a limb but I
believe it is a very sturdy limb. Help prove me right about the great value of women.

soul mate.
n. one of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity.
there seems to be a variety of defintions on the net so what does "soul mate" mean?.
had a long conversation with my mom tonight and we went back and forth for over an hour regarding the wt.
she said something tonight that kind of left me speechless as i've never heard anything like this one before.
the wt is right because... .
it's not often in the rush of every day life that we acknowledge the really good accomplishments that mean something .
when a couple has stayed together and experienced the ups and downs together in love and life- i have always felt it is a worthy accomplishment !
so on that note i'd invite everyone to join me in a toast tonight to a fine jwd couple who are celebrating their " 30th" year together this weekend.

Although you may assume that a partnership of two soul mates should be able to handle challenging times well, that may not always be the case. Just because they are in tune to one another, are each willing to take responsibility for their role in contributing to the conflict, and are both committed to making the marriage a successful one -- the marriage can still fall apart if other essentials...love, respect, and communication are missing
If you think you've not married your soul mate, don't just walk away from the relationship for that reason alone. Spend some time getting to know yourself a bit better first. You can't find your soul mate if you haven't found yourself.
However, there are several viewpoints as to how to describe "soul mates" ... even on how to spell it! Some people spell the term as a whole word, soulmate and others, including us, prefer to keep it as two words, soul mateThe secret would seem to take a balanced view,if you are looking for a profound connection, it could be a long search!
I would say its much like a naturally gifted sprinter, you may have a head start on the field, but don't practice and or
focus then see what happens ! By the way, given my marriage situation, I would spell it soulmate !( 30 years on 27th, this month )

"I fight against the drowning, knowing I can never go into the swamp of cynicism because if I do, I may never come out again. I'm not put together that way. I have children who are more precious to me than my life, and every molecule in me wants to promise them we'll get through this. We won't blow up the world before they get a crack at doing all the things grown-ups get to do in this howling hoot of a party: stand on your own two feet, get your heart broken, get over it, vote, drive a car, not drive a car, get dog-tired doing something that makes you proud, play the radio station you want, wear your heart on your sleeve, dance on the table, make a scene, be ridiculous, be amazing, be stronger than you knew, make a sacrifice that matters, find out what you're made of, cook a perfect meal, read a perfect book, kiss for an hour, fall in love for keeps, make love, make a baby, stand over your own naked child weeping for dread and wonder at the miracle." "God's Wife's Measuring Spoons", Small Wonder, Barbara Kingsolver
I too have seem this miracle right before my eyes several times over !
What greater ,more loving proof could He have shown you ?

much, much healthier.
being a jw takes it's toll on people's physical and mental health.
jw's are always sick.
i have had a bad day and thought that i eould share it with you to either cheer you up - glad i am not him.. story - my in laws are moving to a flat/appartment, and they had a load of rubbish to be moved from there by today so that the workmen can finish tommorow.they (the in laws) can not do to much as they are quite infirm.
guess who did - in one - me!
i said to my jw wife as i ran to her the meeting would really appreciate a hand here, she indicated that she really could not as she must get to meeting.
( one recent post indicated this 90% figure) .
i don't wish to debate the pro's and con's of atheism, just help me understand your personal.
reasonings for this huge difference in figures.
FHN,
Thanks again for your input on this thread.The power of your statements comes from having lived them .... through
the good and the bad.Also your candid honesty about your shifting thoughts about God and to-wards God.
For me it produced huge credibility for your statements. I can honestly say that although you are a few years
younger than me, that you have done way more living in this sometimes cruel world. I admire your feisty, determined
spirit and your unabashed faith in God!
