  Your View of Platonic Relationships with Men & Women- Change as EX-JW ?

  by flipper in

  i know my view certainly changed for the better i feel after leaving the witnesses 5 years ago.

  in part, thanks to my current wife as well ( who has platonic guy friends in her life she has known for years ) it helped me to see it is healthy, normal and natural which in my opinion helps both sexes add more insight into the thinking of men and women enabling a more balanced view of life.. most of us as ex-witnesses know of the tight control which was hammered into our brains about being " just friends " with the opposite sex.

  i mean, it was ridiculous.

  I was not born in and I never was a whitness however, when my daughter was dating my son-in-law, he was 18 at the time she was younger. They called him in on a Saturday for a JC meeting. Three elders kept him for 3 hours questioning him about his relationship with my daughter. Asking questions like, are you having sex? no. Oh come on, a young male with raging hormones and your not having sex with her? No.... Your a 18 yr. old male and your telling us that your dating a young good looking young lady and your not having sex with her?... No

  This type of questioning went on for 3 hours. He told my daughter about it later and she told me about it. I was furious, what right did they have discussing my daughter and her sex life? It was none of their business!!! She was not a JW! I wasn't suppose to know about it, I guess he wasn't suppose to talk about the jc meeting. He also didn't know my daughter told me about it.

  They just kept on him till he finally told them what they wanted to know just to get out of there.

  They take something innocent and make it dirty, lay a quilt trip on everyone for every little thing.

  It's no wonder Flipper you didn't feel good about having friendships with females. Look the wrong way at someone and you will be called in for questioning. Like the FBI, next they will be waterboarding.

  i just got some awful news.

  my jw brother in law has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome.

  needless to say, we are all extremely upset as it is a potentially life-threatening illness that can turn into leukemia.

  chaka

  You can use the 16 oz. wishbone salad dressing, just don't use the whole bottle, maybe half unless you have a large roast. Large roast use 3/4 of the bottle.

  Gram crackers are a snack food purchased in the grocery stores here in the USA, kind of like a cookie sanck. We can also purchase gram cracker pie crust, already made up in the grocery stores.

  Tuesday

  My sister told me about this roast beef and I made it over Christmas and everyone raved about it.

  I hope you try the kool-aid pie. My mother first made it and told me about it. I was thinking, hmm, it really doesn't sound all that good to me. Then she made one and had me taste it and I loved it. It almost has the texture of a cheese cake. I don't really like lemons all that much, but this pie made with the lemonade kool-ade is super.

  I will try the roast pork with the barbeque sauce, that sounds really good too.

  Hi Snoozy,

  A friend of mines' daughter, who is just 29, had both breast removed yesterday. She is doing good so far. She found the cancer 6 months ago. She decided to have both breast removed to take away any further risk of cancer. She has been through all the chemo treatments, lost her hair, sickness, it put her into menopause. She has been through a lot. She is getting ready for her reconstructive surgery.

  I don't know if your aware of a web page called caringbridge.com. This girl keeps a daily journal there and all her friends can keep up with all she has been through and all she will have to go through. There is a guest book that firends can sign and send there good wishes.

  This has been a tremedous support system for her and has helped her through the rough times. Do a google search on caringbridge.com

  The family also had one friend keep everyone up on how the surgery was going through the caringbridge, so we knew how things were going.

  This girl was in surgery yesterday for 6 hours. She was in recovery for a long time. Her surgery was around 10 am and she was back in her room around 10 pm last night. Her family is surprised how good she is doing so far.

  Hope this helps
