You get rid of all your flowered print dresses, replacing them with a cute black party dress, a slinky fire engine red dress, and skirts that all sit above the knee!

Interesting conversation with a pioneer today
by ldrnomo ini went into my favorite cafe this afternoon for lunch and saw a husband and wife that go to the congregation i used to go to.
the woman is a pioneer and has been for years and her husband is an elder who i've talked to a couple of times since i stopped going to meetings 3 years ago but i have not talked to her in 3 years.. when i got my lunch, i looked up and noticed them sitting by the window so i went over to them and said hello.
he said hi but when i said hello to the woman she just kinda looked at me.

I guess telling people that they are rude and self-centered is the epitome of politeness.

My position is that such problems are more likely when the relationship is founded on a sense of entitlement and valuing a person only for physical purposes, the "test drive" mentality I originally responded to. There's no guarantee, but the odds are better when you put the other person ahead of what that person does for you.
I agree that a relationship based on entitlement and physical attraction does not have a good solid base. But if a couple is engaged, hopefully they have already figured out that their personalities mesh well, they have compatible goals in life, they enjoy each others company, and treat each other with respect.
Becoming engaged means that a couple has made a public commitment to each other. I don't really understand why sex is verboten after an engagement. Why wouldn't a couple make sure that they are sexually compatible also?

the couple obeying the "no sex" before marrige law,(IMHO) is better off in the long run as they have avoided unwanted pregnancy, venereal diesease and have tested their relationship to see what it is truly based on.
But all these things could happen after a couple has married.

Medically speaking, blood is a loose connective tissue. Adipose (fat), cartilage, and bone are also connective tissues.
Bone and cartilage are used in some transplants, as is blood.
From a scientific point of view, blood transfusions are comparable to organ transplants.

God Bless You!
by MrFreeze inwhen you were a jw did you ever feel really ashamed when someone would sneeze and you wouldn't say "god bless you!
" it always bugged me.
i'd always feel like a real jerk for not saying it.

I always say "Gesundheit". I did get chewed out a couple of times for it, but I would say that it was good manners.
