Depends what you call "normal" really. For many non-cult guys one night stands are not something to be avoided. It's really up to you what you want from him. Only do it if you're ok with the one night stand too. It might develop into something more, but you can't know for sure, not in such short time.

How do you handle JW encounters?
by Girlie inso this past saturday, i stopped over at my parents' home to take care of some business.
as my brother dropped me off in front of the house, lo and behold, the witnesses from my previous congregation were parked right in front of my parents' home.
damn..... they were in a car group working a frequent rv who lives next door to my folks.

Good advices here. One of my resolve during my ongoing fade is to never give in to their rules of shunning, so I will always say "hi" to them, and if they're up for some chat, I'll chat. I haven't been questioned yet about my lack of presence (except by a nosy elder, but that's different), so these tips are welcome.
It's quite funny to see some JWs reaction who know I'm not attending. The other day as I was walking home from work, one JW from my cong was out working on his car. He saw me coming, and he was simply lost, turned left, turned right, you could see his dilemma, he didn't know what to do and there was noone around to direct his actions. It was simply priceless . In the end he responded to my "hi".

Post YOUR obvious Prophecy for the future...if correct you can join my Governing Body!!
by Witness 007 inwhy don't you have a go at an obvious prophecy!
jesus said increased wars, earthqaukes, pestilence {obvious prophecies} but here are mine.. 1. verily i say interest rates will rise and fall like "the sea of mankind.".

Truly I say to you, false prophets will come. And there will be scrolls written about them, not on papyrus, not on sheepskin, but on invisible paper, yet all the world will be able to read those words. And truly I tell you the pages of those scrolls will reach over 10.000, and the rejoicing will be great. And it will be known among the initiated as... JWN.

Russian Tract campaign: "Could It Happen Again? A Question for the Citizens of Russia"
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land inhttp://www.jw-media.org/rus/20100226.htm.
for immediate release.
february 25, 2010. jehovahs witnesses address their fellow citizensrussiaon february 26-28, 2010, throughout russia, from the chukchi peninsula in the east to kaliningrad in the west, a special campaign is taking place.

On page 3 of the tract there are 3 "facts" to show JWs are not extremists.
1. CLAIM: Jehovah’s Witnesses endanger the State by sowing religious discord, claiming that theirs is the only true religion.
CONSIDER: Do you know of any religion that does not claim to be the true one? After all, why would people adhere to a religion if they did not believe its tenets to be true? Really, then, all religions are equally liable to thesame charge. Perhaps it is more meaningful to ask, ‘How are the adherents of a particular religion taught to treat those with different beliefs?’
So true... so what is JWs teaching about people with different beliefs? Let's see: they're bird food, they lie, fornicate at every occasion, their love is false, etc. They also use every possible occasion to slander other faiths, generally calling them "false Christians". No, that would not cause any discord at all...
2 CLAIM: Jehovah’s Witnesses are a destructive sect because they break up families.
CONSIDER: In any family, religion can be a sensitive issue, particularly when one member adopts a different faith. Does that mean, though, that the religions involved are to blame for the discord? Or do the individuals bear responsibility for how they handle their new differences?
Right, throw the blame on the individuals you spineless *****. It isn't that the WTS is teaching followers to hate and shun disfellowshipped persons. It's the individual's responsibility.
CLAIM: Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse medical treatment.
Can you say red herring? I doubt the russian court said JWs refuse medical treatment. They are refusing BLOOD! Which choice is killing people every year, no matter how you spin it in the so called "Fact" section.

Actually Stephen (seeing this thread has no particular topic any more I don't worry about hijacking it) from your quoted passage JWs eyes will be transfixed on verse 6 - they use it as anti-trinitarian proof.
Reading the verse in an other language and other translation makes me realize it can be interpreted from a trinitarian view this way too: Jesus was God, but he didn't want to grasp to that function under all circumstances, but gave up all to become human. Amirite?

How can the greatest command be to love God.
by acolytes inhow can the greatest commandment be to love god?
why did jesus say to his disiples that he loved them for keeping his commandments?.
doesnt being commanded to do something take away our freewill?.
-

teel
You still have free will to disobey the commandment
Yes, that's only sidestepping. Loving because you "have to" brings us to the JW version of conditional, emotionless love.
As for me personally I take that scripture rather an invite than forcing you to do something.

Don't laugh so hard, his calculations are just as belivable as the 2520 days... and we believed that one for a while.
I wonder if he'll play the "invisible end" card after 2011 too...
