as i think i recall, this happened in the fall of 1972. i was living in atlanta at the time, where it was a nonissue, there was a very pretty black girl who was very popular in the congo there.
but back in my much smaller hometown, there were still black congregations when i started studying in 1970....totally separate khs, totally separate circuit assemblies.
not sure if they had a separate co...probably not.. in fact my great uncle, the eccentric old guy nobody in my family had much to do with....been a jw for ages but not very popular in the kh either....had a little house directly across the street.....moody, cranky old cuss, but very independent thinker too in a weird kind of russelite way....he got df'd around that time and i think it had something to do with the integration issue.
My mother grew up in small-town Mississippi and then Memphis. She used to tell me about going to all Black congregations. They had visiting speakers and COs who were White though. She didn't go to an integrated congregation until she moved to Kansas in '75.
I am happy that that concept is foreign to me. My congregations were always thoroughly racially mixed.
i just watched the end of the last season of dr. who - man that was depressing.
besides being mostly really loud and full of explosions.
i still like the first season dr. who best, the one with rose tyler.

My favorite, too. I wanted Rose to come back permanently, she was the best side-kick, then Martha. Donna was put in place to get the middle-aged women audience, I couldn't stand her! David Tennant is adorable though so that doesn't hurt.
when i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?
?.
Don't objectify me that way!

i read the above articles this morning regarding a guy who was ordered by a court to pay his ex-fiance $150,000 for backing out of a marriage.
Who says engagement can't be held to the same or similar standards? Not this judge. Often the same investments are made. Example: quitting very well paying job, moving cross country with the verbal promise that you will be taken care of after having been taken care of. Sounds close to, if not an actual, breach of contract to me. What if she had also spent a ton of money on the wedding?

Ima confused. Do woman want equality or not?
Will you marry me? Chaaaching!!! goodbye stressful, full time, high paying job. Waaaaa! he bailed on me!!
I would hope had the roles been reversed, the same ruling would have been made. I see men get alimony.

I know. I was just saying it's the same argument as a marriage "contract". A "contract" was made and broken. I agree that it does sorta illegitimize the concept of engagement, but I don't think the ruling was wrong.

Who was that runaway chick? the one with the googly eyes.... she never had to compensate her husband for standing him up.
.. but did he even try? I will admit that this will set a very disturbing precedent. I mean what will the statute say, 1 week before the wedding? 2? a month?

Still, his actions showed that he was going to take care of her. He probably made that verbal promise, too. It's the same with marriages. If the man tells the women he'll take care of her and they divorce, he might be stuck with long, short, or lump sum alimony. Same for women. I see it every day.

Well, it's not exactly THAT simple.
"She found a new job, taking a pay cut. Her salary went from $81,000 a year, plus a 15 percent bonus, to $31,000 a year." She made that decision based on a verbal contract.
