What Do You Consider "Hot" When Thinking of a Male or Female?

C'mon, don't we all delude ourselves when saying looks aren't important?
Maybe a little. True, "beauty" is what attracts people initially, but it is the substance of the person that makes us fall in love or keeps our attraction going.
The sexiest man I ever met was only "average" by shallow standards. But he was smart, decent, and funny as hell. If he was talking to you, he paid intense attention and made you feel worthwhile. He was the first to lend a shoulder or an ear. He also had the ability to put everyone in stitches with the way he told stories.
Every woman I know wanted him, including me.
But alas, he was happily married to an amazing woman who was just a great as he was. It was awesome. They were awesome.

Intelligence + great personality (which includes kindness, compassion, and humor) + confidence (not to be confused with arrogance) = hawtness!
"Looks" aren't that important if you have those 3 things going for you.

i have heard that the recent dc drama was not bible-based (i.e.
no scriptural reference).

Basically it was all about field service and obeying the FDS.
It went down like this.
Shortly after his release from Patmos, John went around visiting all the congregations. At one, he meets a character named Scolios. Scolios is a well to do member of the congregation and some of the congregation work for him. Scolios says Christians should be doing more charitable works rather than more in the ministry work (suggesting that the preaching work is completed).
Naturally John disagrees with him and basically calls him an apostate.
Scolios sends his daughter to another city to work for a Roman businessman. He is very excited because it is a very good job for his daughter and she'll be making lots of money.
Meanwhile, as John is villifying Scolios and yammering on and on about sacrificing comfort and employment in order to go out in the ministry full time, word comes that Scolios' daughter is very traumatized and on her way back home.
When she arrives, she tells everyone that her Roman employer took her to the gladiator fights where she witnessed a boy-friend get mauled to death by lions.
Everyone is humbled and goes on and on about how wrong it is to seek material wealth or to do charitable works and that they should have listened to dear dear John in the first place.
Freakin' barf. Notice that this little "biblical" drama is not to be found anywhere in the bible.

The Day After the Grand Boasting Session
by WTWizard inso you got through the grand boasting session somehow.
the one-towel rules, the endless quiet and keep moving signs, the snorefest, and the endless prayer are finally behind us.
usually, if there are children involved, life after becomes unbearable after a grand boasting session.

Yup.
That happened to me when I was growing up.
ASSemblies and visits by the COs and DOs.
I'd brace myself for a month or so of strict parenting until they tired of finding fault with me.
It always sucked because the DA was always during summer break. Since both of my parents worked outside the home, I had to stay at home alone all day and do chores. Basically I had to clean the house from top to bottom every single day. Dust, vacuum, mop, laundry, and the evening dinner.
Each day, the neighborhood kids would stop by and the adult supervision of the group would, once again, invite me to go swimming with everyone. I had to say 'no, thank you.'
Fun times.

So, someone clue me in.
by Blasty inalright, so i'm reading on this site, and i'm not 100% sure what it's about.
it appears to be a bunch of former jw people bashing everything they can get their hands on in relation to jw's.. .
i was brought up as a jw, but when i got older and started to think for myself, i began to realize that i didn't agree with their teachings.

Hence the atheist question, since I do have trouble with them, although I try to play nice and avoid starting crap haha.
Interesting.
I'm an atheist but I don't go around and purposely try to dissuade the theists' beliefs. If someone says to me, 'I believe in god' I don't start quoting scientists and philosophers to change their beliefs.
However......
I tell a theist that, 'I don't believe in god,' they usually start in on me with scripture. Scripture after scripture after scripture. Then, when I tell them, 'Sorry, but I've read the bible cover to cover and I still don't believe in god,' they tell me they'll pray for me because I need to find Jesus and the last thing I want to do is die without Jesus.
Haha indeed.

Satan is certainly a wiley devil! He came in the guise of Square Dancing!
by Lady Zombie inrecently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the jws have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.. well, i can ballpark estimate when it started in my area.
it was the mid to late 80's.
throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.. there was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other jws.

Recently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the JWs have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.
Well, I can ballpark estimate when it started in my area. It was the mid to late 80's. Throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.
There was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other JWs. Sometimes someone would bring music, like Jazz or Big Band. Us younger folks would have prefered some more modern music, but we all knew how the bOrg felt about rock.
Anyway, my folks and a few other JWs, discovered Square Dancing. They had a ball. It was "wholesome" and fun and great exercise. Most of the JWs were stoked because not only were they having fun, they were dropping a few pounds. As more of the local JWs learned how to Square Dance and Line Dance, they got the bright idea to have "Witness Square Dances" about twice a month. Here they taught other JWs how to Square Dance and they usually had potluck dinners along with it.
Most of us younger people thought Square Dancing was kind of boring, but our parents liked it. Generally the younger, single, JWs didn't participate in it because 1) we weren't married, and 2) most of the JWs thought it was somewhat inappropriate to dance closely with someone who wasn't your wife/husband.
And then.......[ominous music].........a rigid, staunch, humorless, judgemental prick of an elder decided that all this Square Dancing and fun was Satanic in nature because it encouraged "immorality." Yes, you read that correctly. IMMORALITY!
He began lecturing the Square Dancing JWs that it was inappropriate for a man and woman who were not married to "hold hands" and "touch one another." Let me explain.
In Square Dancing, frequently you may change partners briefly as part of a move. Or, you go around in a circle weaving in and out and grasping one of the opposite sex's hands until you make your way back to your partner. Or, the men would cross the square to spin the woman directly across from them.
This elder singlehandedly brought an end to not only "Square Dance Nights" but also Square Dancing in general. He even had a Local Needs talk on the subject. Actually, he had more than one Local Needs talks based on activities that may lead to immorality, like "dancing." This guy was a Grade A prick!
Soon after the Square Dance ban, the potlucks at the parks stopped too. Nothing was much fun anymore and everyone was worried about "stumbling" others.
By the early 90's, all JW get-together's had effectively stopped. The only time the JWs would associate outside of the KH and FS, was at restaraunts after the meetings.
It has been this way ever since.

The 'A' Word
by tresdecu inbecause of cognative dissonance, and years of fearing the word apostate, i am actually still afraid to think about it too much.
what brings me some comfort, is the fact that there are aprox.
7 mil witnesses, and out of that number, at least half if not more are "apostates" (my personal guess anyway).

The word apostate is used pejoratively to make the individual a target for scorn and hatred.
I always have hated how the WTBTS uses words to isolate and villianize people; "worldly" "apostate" "weak" etc.
