  Cold Weather Dress Code for Witnesses

  by WTWizard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  with the advent of cooler weather (at least in canada and the northern us), one might think of how the witnesses are going to cope.

  for certain, dress codes are going to have different effects now than they did when it was broiling hot.. men are going to be more comfortable now.

  cooler weather means that the coat is not going to create as much heat stroke risk as it did in the heat of mid summer.

  I pioneered in Alberta Canada for two winters. I got caught wearing pants under my skirts after helping push cars out of the snow banks and fell over. I was told that my attire was inappropriate. I should have said that asking a 120 lb woman to go in service and dig the car out of the snowbank in -25 degree weather was inappropriate. I never did find a pair of mittens that kept my hands warm.
  
  I remember that often the driver of the car would take the keys with him and then get in on an RV and leave us standing by the locked car for an hour. This was really hard on the older ones who couldn't walk far enough to reach the coffee shop.
  
  Anyone else ever have a brother say he should drive your vehicle because it was not right for a woman to drive brothers around? Happened to me once. My mom just about took his head off about it,cause our insurance didn't cover him.

  Shunned by my SIL the B........

  shunning still hurts for me, i admit it.

  though i have no common ground with these people any longer, it is just the idea that i am treated as evil for nothing more than exiting the religion.

  i was in a chinese rest on wednesday.

  Sexless Marriages Could Threre Be a Direct Link by Being Raised JW?

  by okiesooner1966 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i would like start by saying i having been married twice.

  the first time i married a girl who was also raised a jw, sex was great when we first got married but after a couple of years it almost completely stopped.

  the marriage did not last much longer i thought it was because we just grew apart and i became uninterested.

  You men can make all the jokes you want, it does not change the seriousness of this topic.
  
  A healthy active sex life is directly proportional to a healthy partnership between two people. I know Para is joking about going drinking with the guys at a strip club, in fact I find it mildly attractive that he teases me. We both make an effort to keep our sex life going strong.
  
  He knows how to get my attention and turn me on. I know how to arouse him and make sure the only woman he wants to pounce on is me.
  
  
  If he ever stopped making lascivious comments on a regular basis I would be concerned he didn't want me anymore.
  
  There is nothing more satisfying in life than knowing your mate is happy and content, in all aspects of your life.

  ARGHHHHH!!!
  
  
  The point I was trying to make was men need to be attentive in all areas of married life. If you are disconnected from her daily life don't expect her to invite you to join her private life.
  
  Just because you do the laundry don't expect to get any loving. Make a habit of being interested and the habit of regular sex will come to.
  
  Foreplay is wonderful.

  I was going to be all nice and say it happens to everyone and not worry. BUT I am in a bad mood with a headcold so you are getting cranky Bobbi.
  
  Make an EFFORT. Take a good long look at yourself. Can you honestly say you help out around the house. When was the last time you carried the laundry to washer or the clean stuff to the right room. When did you last vacuum or wash a floor. Do you even know where the cleaning supplies are?
  
  Do you tell your wife you think she is sexy and attractive? Do you flirt with her and make her feel that you want her as much as when you first got together?
  
  From personal experience, I put on weight after having my kids and I lost alot of my confidence about my sexuality. I also found that after having kids it was harder to achieve orgasms. Talk to her about it. She might not initiate sex because she thinks that it will take so much effort to please you and herself and she is too tired.
  
  Get some "toys".
  
  Stop looking for someone to blame and sweet talk your sexy momma into bed and rock her world. Frequently.

  The fade is over, talked to my parents last night. (very very long)

  there would never be a good time to have this conversation.

  quite different from most people raised a witness, i have very few horror stories about my upbringing.

  my family was just a family, my mom and dad fought and argued, my siblings and i misbehaved and got in trouble.. .

  Just a thought, Do I have to talk to my parents now?
  
  Just my luck too, your parents still want us in their lives even with all the differences. So much for my plan to DA myself and totally mess up my fathers chances for spiritual advancement in his congregation.
  
  
  Back to plotting my revenge.
