Seems these come out once in awhile just for the drama it will cause. No marriage is a

guarantee for a happy ending jw or not.

My issues with women ...

by The Berean in

i have always viewed women as more clever, manipulative, and intelligent than me.

no, i never walked around voicing my bias ... yet, over time, i must confess i have been afraid of the opposite sex.

it has only been in recent times that i have begun to fairly evaluate each individual by their conduct and not their gender.. why do i bring this matter up on this particular site?

I am so sorry for what happened in your life. Dominent women do not realise what they do to their sons. Often times they produce gay sons.

They are a product of their own envirionment as a child and often have experienced some type of abuse in their own lives.

There are some marriages where the woman is very dominant and the husband being very quiet and submissive. Many even ridicule such a man calling him names like” Sissy” and “ Coward”.

It is always assumed that a Man should be the dominant one, whose decision is last and final, with the woman being the submissive one. A change in this pattern is not accepted in the society and is often ridiculed.

Well, however many don’t try and find out why a woman ends up being so dominant in a marriage.

According to researchers and various studies, a woman ends up being dominant when she faces a lot of negativity in childhood for being a girl child. When being neglected her rights and expectations just because she is a girl child, she burns up with lot of anger and resentment inside swearing to herself that she will not take it any more when she is an adult. This is one reason why women end up showing so much of dominance in a marriage.

Also, when girl children are always being projected as weak and docile, some girls try to resist and reject this notion by being dominant and showing the world that they are capable of taking decisions. This is another reason why women are so dominant.

Also, women tend to become dominant when their husbands fail to make decisions for the family. It is then that a woman takes charge and tries to run the family.

As children, we are completely dependent on our parents for love, for nurturing, for guidance, and for our very survival. Our parents become like gods for us, and their words and actions will often stay with us for the rest of our lives, whether or not we are consciously aware of them. Our parents mold and shape us like clay, influencing our thoughts and beliefs with theirs.

Most children instinctively seek to please their parents in order to receive love and nurturing, because rejection could mean death in the animal kingdom. Most children also come in with unconditional love and innocence, seeking only to love and be loved.

Our parents have been molded and shaped by their parents, and by their own education and life experiences. These factors have altered them from being the innocent and unconditionally loving children that they were born to be, and have influenced them to hold the thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors that they now have.

In turn, our parents' thoughts and beliefs, feelings and behaviors imprint upon us, and our own children will be influenced by our thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors. We will continue to pass along the legacy of our parents, our grandparents, our great-grandparents, and so on, until and unless we choose and decide to break the pattern of belief and behavior.

Whether we like it or not, we often become like our parents if we do not heal those issues and tendencies within ourselves, because we become what we judge.

Are you ready for the finish line? talk

by Motema Bolingo in

i know that this point was discussed a few months ago.. my question is rather urgent - hope you are able to give me an answer.. i put the talk of samuel herd on my website.. now, somebody writes me and say that the talk was not delivered by herd, but by a circuit overseer named ellwood johson.. ( the way he says this seems to suggest that my site is not quite reliable .. was this talk given or not by s. herd ?.

thank you in advance for your help.

WHY DOES UNDERSTANDING WOMEN CAUSE SUCH AN IMPACT??

by Mr. Majestic in

i bumped into this reaction (nearly called it a problem) when i was a jw.

being that single sisters were out of bounds to chat to (unless you were thinking of marrying them), i thought that it was a safe(er) option to chat to married sisters.

i reasoned that they would have been happy in their marriage so chatting to them wouldnt be such a problem.

I do understand it a little more now but the reaction still perplexes me somewhat. I can’t talk for all men, but from a mans perspective, if I am understood, I just get the feeling of relief that someone knows what I am going through. A deep sigh and that is that. But despite asking numerous women I am friends with, I still don’t know the mechanics of why understanding causes such a huge emotional reaction.

Everyone needs to be understood, some are better listeners then others. But perhaps sometimes its all about

"you must know your boundaries of what you can and cannot do or talk about" people can and do get emotionally attached. It seems simple

but it can get quite complicated. And for some this is when friendships come to a halt. Its not becoming to personal I guess, some cannot seperate the

two from further meaning whether it is there or not. Its all what is in the persons mind and how they take things. Some people whether male or

female can be sent the wrong messages by what or how conversations go.

I agree FHN, everyone is different. You can never understand all women or all men....You just can't fit women or

men into one category.
