2 Pictures, 2 Kinds of Goodbye

by [email protected] in

i know this is quite old but i expect most people on this forum haven't seen it.. i think the photos capture the moment perfectly and portrays the damage war creates.. .

FreudianSlip

Painfully sad..

Promiscuous or sexually free?

by brunnhilde in

so i'm 37 and i've only been with one man, my ex-husband, in my entire life.

i just started a new relationship with a wonderful man but i'm fighting the preprogramming that comes from being a dub for 35 years.

how have other people overcome the inhibitions and issues that come from the ridiculously rigid sexual mindset of the wtbs?

FreudianSlip

I say: do him! All this "take it slow" stuff is overrated in my opinion. Sex can be an emotional event, but it certainly doesn't have to be. Have fun but protect yourself against STDs and pregnancy. You say he's terrific.. what's holding you back?

Oh and as for my JW baggage.. well.. I got over it real quick. I was a bit of a slut in my early 20s and it was WONDERFUL!

Are JWs allowed to declare bankruptcy??

by navytownroger in

has anyone known or heard of baptized jws declaring bankruptcy?

if so, wouldn't that amount to 'stealing' from the businesses or persons they owe money to?

when you incur a debt, isn't there a legally-binding 'promise' that you will pay back what you owe?

FreudianSlip

My father the elder and mother the regualar pioneer declared bankruptcy and nothing happened. Of course when people do that, I'm sure they don't shout it from the rooftops..
