  Please Accept My Most Heartfelt..........

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, i have had a few occasions when it's been neccessary - no, essential - that i say sorry to someone for something that i have said or done, in order that someone's hurt feelings are healed.. it doesn't make me feel demeaned at all when i say sorry, i don't feel any less of a person because i have apologised, although i am aware that some people find it almost impossible to apologise.. what do you think?

  is it a sign of weakness to apologise?

  is apologising a desirable thing?

  Good replies! I think apologizing is indeed something that shows strength, not weakness. It should be done without subtly or overtly trying to pass blame or imply that the receiver is somehow being overly sensitive....for example - "I'm sorry that you felt offended at what I said" is no real apology. I feel it should be made unconditionally and with sincerity. It then will hopefully be accepted, and then both parties can move on.

  Sex Scandal in Montana

  by silentlambs in

  2. friends

  it has been brought to my attention that there may be a major scandal working in the billings montana area.

  it involves more than ten elders in a motel room at the district convention this summer and 14-16 year old girls.

  my information source says there is more to come with possible charges being filed, but key jw's work for social services there and are involved in the investigation.

  Well, I didn't want to get involved in this discussion, and I still don't, but this statement by Elsewhere

  A woman's rape lasts a few minutes... mine has lasted 30 years

  did get my attention.

  Else, you've obviously been very hurt, but I must say that I would like to believe that such a statement is something that you (hopefully) regret making. I don't have to even say why - I think it's very obvious.

  Why are you looking forward to 2005?

  by Nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone heard anyting of 2005?

  i've spoken to some witnesses here, who are really worried about 2005. they say it was pretty obvious at the last convention, that the world may end in 2005. because of 1975 and the fact that jesus was 30 years old, the last time he preached on earth... .

  what have i missed?

  One jw I know has this calculation:

  1975 - 6000 yrs since man created

  add 30 yrs for Adam to be left alone (and thus become an "adult" in the Hebrew sense of the word) in Garden of Eden before Eve is created and God's creative works end

  thus bringing you to 2005

  Frankly, I would think that if Jesus said 'at a time that you do not think to be it, the Son of Man is coming' and 'no one knows the day or the hour' then that means that no one can calculate that day and hour.

  Totally happy in your marriage?

  by Lost Diamond in

  1. social
  2. family

  how many of you are totally, incredibly happy in your marriage?

  how many of you feel that your spouse is your absolute soul mate and you couldn't even imagine your being married somebody else?

  talking with the women at work, i'm surprised at how many are not totally happy.

  The state of my marriage breaks down into neat little time periods:

  First 6 years - happy

  Following 14 years - unhappy

  Past 2 years - basically happy

  So overall, while I am not "blissfully happy" I am basically happy, or at least "comfortable", and really have no reason to complain a lot or try to find someone else.

  things went pretty well today.

  my daughter was doing some laundry, underwear and such, for her mom, and she was a bit late to get me and her to the hospital.

  hours start at eleven and we go there about noon.

  2. friends

  just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.

  so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?

  mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.
