IF it is NOT wise for a man to be ALONE with a woman he's NOT married to

by Spike Tassel in

sola scriptura answered andersonsinfo:.

the wt leadership has hammered into all of it's elders and rank & file's heads, that it is not wise for a man to be alone with a woman he is not married too (adult or young woman... ie 14).

even in congregation sanctioned duties.. so, why, then, do so many service pairings involve just that: a brother alone in the territory (even if it's to make a call) with a sister he's not married to?.

Gaining such a relationship could start as easily as you and I are talking, Josie, but it can't be with you, Josie. I wouldn't allow it, you're already a married woman.

This exercise with you, Josie, is just getting my thoughts down, based on true-to-life questions. It's basically role-playing, for whoever might stumble onto this page of this particular Topic.

At some point, once the bona fides have been validated and it is determined that both parties are still interested in a "business merger", I'd be working with the special someone as to how to sort through what we each have, put it all into reasonable order and determine where our "business" should operate from. Relocation would then need to be planned, including whether I could stay on my current pension or convert it to whatever is meaningful wherever the relocation place ends up being.

For me, regular worship at a local Kingdom Hall in easy walking distance is a given. All the meetings year round, year-in, year-out. And I'm an expressive singer. So, I'd be keen on the partner to be zealous like me, so that it's evenly yoked. If we're already of like-mind and like-habits, then it would be natural to visit one another, even unannounced, to confirm the proposition.

Once the merger has taken place, then maintenance would be as straight-forward as establishing the merger in the first place. Just principled, working through the issues always including the mate. We'd work through the issues based on the wisdom gained from applying Bible principles, as exemplified in WT publications.

a physical side with me requires my mate have solid faith and a view of marriage being permanent and loyal to match mine, with no divorce under any circumstances.

that's takes a real commitment and perhaps years to get to, to be sure.

Also, if the focus isn't based on the Truth, it can't survive Armageddon. (I actually have 63 more Posts till I reach my limit after this one.)

Surely there must be someone who likes to help others work through issues, as I do. An intellectual type.

what is this thing about a relationship needing to be physical? how can physical be deep?

I'm interested in developing a spiritual relationship, but I've never had much of that by e-mail. My e-mail relationships so far typically have been on some technical matters: language interests, computer interests, family history interests, some discussion of beliefs, and how I am navigating life as an Aspie who's still discovering what being an Aspie involves.

I'm interested in problem solving, and building my spiritual faith, and helping others do the same. I like to keep to knowable, provable, reasonable facts.

just a few questions I don't want to ask directly hell

hello - first may i apologise for capital letters my keyboard has gone screwy.

for the last several months i have been having meetings with two really nice women from the jw organisation.

i don't want to offend anyone by asking these questions i am simply trying to better understand how the watchtower came about without listening to too much anti stuff.

but true principled love such as they teach and practice is the best thing to overcome addictive behaviours and actually treat human beings and other living things with the respect that the Bible itself teaches. Harmony and peaceful relationships then become, not only possible, but enjoyable.

It is well that you have such respect all ready as your first post shows. May Jehovah bless you so that you may always keep this respect, regardless of the taunting posters and other challenges you will face in life.

I'm interested in reading and discussing current WT publications and meeting parts with someone who has a similar disposition to myself, so "women on the outside" is out of the question. By e-mail would seem to be a sensible way to introduce ourselves one to the another, progressing as appropriate to other means, for anyone reading this. My sleep is already "all over the map", so anyone of JWN here would be a possibility. If anyone is seriously interested in such a "study partner" as myself, please PM me. I respond when it makes sense to me to do so.
