  A Woman, A Woman - Oh What Can She Be?

  hi, peeplezs,.

  down over the years i have experienced plenty of discouragement and cynicism about faith and the existence of a god who cares for us.

  if i allowed myself to dwell on those things alone, i suppose that i too would be feeling hopeless and cynical and would be just waiting until my time is up.. however, i don't feel that way at all.

  Oh wait, I didn't see this little gem before:

  Two years passed. I had moved back to Oregon and it seemed like we had written a jillion letters to each other. I proposed, she accepted, and it was eventually arranged for her to come up. The first time was for a week, and it seemed like the world was empty after she went back. Finally we decided not to wait any more, so she came up again and we were married. We were both young, scared, but very much in love.

  So you were 18 and she was 13 when this all started.....sounds perfectly healthy to me.

  Just thinking of all the little boys who had crushes on me when I was 20. and alot of them were 15 year old BOYS. Alot of them proclaimed their "love" for me. I just knew as an ADULT that I had to set boundries.

  Lonewolf, so let me get this straight.....Because I think that it is wrong for a 20 year old MAN to look at a 15 year old freckled faced GIRL with a view to make her "HIS" woman and know her fulfillment as "wife" and "mother" somehow that makes me promiscuous? Hmmmmmm. thanks for the giggle. Love your reasoning. Actually you are going to enjoy this....I was a virgin on my wedding night and get this, so was my husband. Were you a virgin on your wedding night Lonewolf?

  We were both consenting ADULTS who made informed decisions when to marry. Just saying.

  Let's put this in perspective. 50 years ago was 1961. The question is back in 1961 was it the norm for girls to get married at the age of 15.

  The answer would be no. Funny on this chart from the US Cencus Bureau I don't see that 15 was the average age for girls to get married.

  	AMERICANS MARRYING LATER The median age at first marriage has been rising for decades:

  It looks llike in the 1960's 20 was the common age to marry.

  have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.

  that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.

  Wow, glad to hear there was some decency in that witness. Maybe this will be a good lesson for her.

  The age of consent did get raised in Canada:

  What does the "age of consent" or "age of protection" mean?

  The age of consent, also known as the "age of protection", refers to the age at which a young person can legally consent to sexual activity. All sexual activity without consent, regardless of age, is a criminal offence.

  To what kind of sexual activity does this apply?

  The age of consent laws apply to all forms of sexual activity, ranging from sexual touching (e.g., kissing) to sexual intercourse.

  What is Canada's age of consent?

  The age of consent for sexual activity is 16 years. It was raised from 14 years on May 1, 2008 by the Tackling Violent Crime Act.
