stick and stones may break my bones..but WORDS HURT FOREVER !

on this site and elsewhere i have heard the expressions when hurt by words.... "grow up.. grow a thick skin ".

well it all seems easy enough to say, but we all have areas of high sensitivity.. physical, mental, emotional, social standing, education and race.

it is easy to find humor in things.

caliber

Let my heart speak to you..... for those may have been hurt by my tongue.

THE FORGIVEN

Please come JUSTICE with slash of sword and steel inflicting swift and visible blow

in time it's mark is hidden save for the healing power of natures scars

But what of it's wielding tongue that focus upon the heart ?

what of inward wounds left in piercing ones spirit ?

then incessantly calls on and on in such ridiculing taunt

the defensive jester distracts but merely postpones the judges rightful demand

but inner awareness makes known it's insidious grip

and seems unwilling to be bribed in penance sacrifice

What can you say to your heart of hearts..

to come face to face in tear filled sorrow

and to yearn for the crushed spirits weighted relief

to be left in a river of drowning tears in searching for amends

self-worth and pure justice ever pressing it's inward command!

that self-imposed justice may release it's biting sentence

yearning on and on for forgiveness in dear smiling face

then never more sweeter words or nor shinning smile to see.......

the pure sweet joy to hear...

I FORGIVE YOU ! ! !

Richer men are more attractive than poor men.

by mtsgrad in

Very often it is found that women loves to date with financially strong men. Just as a dog gets attracted towards bones, men gets attracted towards beautiful women similarly women are attracted to males who have the most resources and the ability to manipulate and distributethose resources. Question like why? may arise. Women nowadays are becoming very choosy in selecting their partner while dating and has stopped believing in ‘love at first sight’. They do a lot of study before dating and gives the priority to those who are well off with their resources. You might start questioning yourself Are women really that stunningly superficial? Yes, because in this fast ever changing world money iseverything. Even you, yourself will not be able to date peacefully if your wallet is light or if you have a hole in your pocket. By now, you will probably be serious about dating that needs a massive amount of cash in the bank.

Though the word resources has different meanings in different cultures, but money is the number one resource particularly in the western world, in other countries it may differ. In a psychological study in the 90’s participants were asked to rate the most important attributes that one would want to have in a potential sexual partner and surprisingly it was found that among the top ten attributes ‘ABILITY’ to earn was holding the first position. The word ‘Wealth’ did not even get the position in top ten. Daters who do not have massive resources may count themselves among the luckiest if they can at least prove that they have the ability to generate wealth in future. Women dating on line seek for those partners who are well off financially and also who possess the ability to generate wealth.

Remember that, if you pretend to have money or that you do posses the ability to earn more while dating would lead to some tricky situations. You have to demonstrate your ability when dating. How much easier is it to demonstrate the ability to earn? It all depends on your behavior and conversation when dating. To demonstrate your ability to earn when dating does not require displaying your wealth right on the spot but expressing the qualities of being ambitious that will enable you to acquire and generate wealth in the future.Ability to earn is a very highly desirable quality beside other qualities like confidence,generosity, intelligence, and enthusiasm that women seek in men when dating. Therefore men who possess these qualities are eligible for smooth dating.

So it's not wealth per SE.. but ability to earn but these other qualities must also exist confidence, generosity, intelligence, enthusiasm

Look it's a package deal man ! I think in this study initial attraction must already be figured in !

Kingdom Hall Weddings - November Kingdom Ministry

Say... here is a question I have for someone like Blondie.....We put our Wedding day program

on the announcement board at the kingdom Hall.. next thing I know there is a big felt mark

covering over the reception and dance ! When I inquired I was told that these other events

were not Theocratic events therefore could not be listed on the board .. they told me that

it was in a article of one WT. and it could be shown to me... so I said" fine show me the article"

They were embarrassed when they were unable to find it in the library but with red faces said

well we have been this in the past it would be unfair to make exception for me.. I agreed of

course.. I try to be as agreeable as possible ! But I'm sure they were being honest with me

could anyone produce such an article ????? Here's the other kicker though we put the same

program up in the brides hall and nothing was said or done !!!! Inquiring minds need to know !

The Sigh Thread

sigh.

i'm tired, folks.

worn out, actually.

Also I am reminded of an incident... a man is traveling down a country road with two very distant Friends..

all of a sudden the driver pulls over and stops ..they each pull out a beer and are now illegally drinking .My

Friend telling me the story was very upset.. this was illegal, dangerous not to mention fines and your reputation

back at the KH. But he accepted a beer begins drinking.. now he says to me I am not on a Superior level

only then did he speak very frankly about how wrong and dangerous this act was ! He was speaking

across to them not down to them !

Or like a small child that is cranking their neck to speak up to you as an adult in a standing position !

note the difference it makes to simply knee down to his level.. the glow in his eyes !

else who writes something about a song or a movie or a "feeling" stays on the front of the board for days. I guess I understand what people like to see. I just don't have that to offer those folks

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, butwarmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. Carl Jung
Swiss psychologist (1875 - 1961)

Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become an enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend. Saadi

Did You See "Coverups" In The Congregation?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i did many times.

if a family member was well connected, things would be swept under the carpet.

but if you didn't know the right people, you'd be taken into the "back room" and the elders would grill you.

caliber

I've seen in a group of five young people all involved a wrong-doing ...all the none servants kids DF'd

The two Elders kids were "repentant " so only got reproof. All the servants get keep their positions !
