because it's a self fullfilling prophecy!.
if you keep women couped up and force them to have only limited contact with the outside world they are going to appear sheltered and unlearned.
therefore when these oppressed women do things that are unlearned or immature all the men go "well they are the weaker vessel.".
I never quite agree with the term weaker vessel. They've got a power over me that since puberty I've been trying to defeat. You tell me who's weaker. Look at Tiger Woods, or Brett Farve and his texting activities.
I still do all the chivalry stuff, but lately I'm starting to see it as pointless, and possibly demeaning to both myself and women.
somedays my dad would look at what i still call an older woman, and he'd call her attractive.
i'd look at him like dude your nuts.
i'm thinking just cuz your older doesn't mean its wrong to find younger women attractive.
Ha, ha,ha, ha....(grins) how the heck would you stay married if not?
I look hot to my hubby even at my age, and he's a pretty handsome rooster himself. I will never see anything but the young man I married in his face. He says that about me too. And I believe him. He thinks young women are pretty, but airheads. Also, he no longer likes women to be too thin. He has decided he likes them with plenty of meat.
Makes me laugh.
Grandma you mentioned something else I meant to state in the opening post. I've NEVER been a chubby chaser, but some of these healthy older women look good with that extra weight on them. I'm not talking obese, but a good 15-20 Lbs overweight is not a bad thing to look at depending on how she dresses. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the older I get, I don't mind the extra weight on older gals. They look good.

I'm thinking just cuz your older doesn't mean its wrong to find younger women attractive. He explained to me that as we get older, we find those in our age bracket and older, to be appealing. I thought he was nuts. I was in my early twenties then, but now I think I see what he's talking about. Lately I've been scoping some of these late thirtyish, and mid fortyish women, and being honest with you, there's quite a few of them that could get it. One of our account managers just made the rounds on our floor. I've never seen this woman before although I've conversed with her over the phone and via email. Today she came through with whom I'm assuming were a couple of her administrative assistants, and I would totally spend money on her and pamper her. She's gotta be in her mid 40s, but wow. She was dressed in all black, which is my favorite anyway, and I loved the way the other two assistants followed her like they knew what was expected of them. So seductive. She has an elegance that younger women take years to learn, and it was so fascinating watching her. There's quite a few in this building that make me pause for a moment.
I've always liked brunettes, and I find that the older I get the more attractive I find the older ones. I'm talking women like Melinda Clarke, or Jane Badler. Eliza Dushku although younger, appears older, but she's gorgous. Or when it comes to black women, Toni Braxton who is in her mid forties is serious business. I'd love to get on bended knee for her.
But fellas, especially you older dudes, did this happen to you as you got older? Did older women all of sudden start looking very good all of a sudden once you reached your 30's? I'm not talking your "hot for teacher"moments either. We've all had the occasional teacher or substitute who we wanted extra attention from. I'm talking once you hit maturity as a man in your thirties, older women became gorgous.
On another note, did younger women all of a sudden become immature and irritating to some degree?
this just in (per the most recent awake i was blessed to read):.
'god's new world is about to be ushered in', or something to that effect - don't have the actual issue with me - this is on the inside front cover under what the awake is all about - if someone has one, they can scan for me (please and thank you!).
so, it's not imminent, it's not around the corner; it's not within this generation, it's about to!
The brother doing out public talk yesterday said "about to" also regarding the Noo Sistum. Been hearing about this for so long, I'm starting not to care any longer. I'm more concerned about my hair loss.
i just did a 'quick' search and 'marital due' doesn't appear to have made the 'list' of issues addressed in the ks!.
did i miss something?????
shouldn't the blantant repeated refusal (not justifiable under illness, ability, or discernable reason) be an issue addressed?.
Good points Scully, very good points. I'm saving your post. It never ceases to amaze me how screwed up this religion is.

Eggnogg I'm on the same page with you pretty much the your whole post, minus one point.
There is no due process of law and no defendants in God's organization.
I don't know if you had a minor lapse of thought LOL, or maybe you view the WT as such a bastion of light that you're blinded to all reasonable criticizm of the WT. Egg, its called a Judicial Committee for crying out loud LOL. Judicial as in Judiciary, or Judicature, as in Justice, as in Jury, as in Jurisdiction, you get the point. The accused are in fact defendants, maybe not in a court of law respected by Caesar, but you ask anybody in here who's ever faced a Judical Committee, they probably felt like a defendant. Most probably felt like they knew they were convicted before even showing up. You being an elder, I'm assuming anyway, you've seen your fair share of imperfect brothers who can be heavy handed during their questioning, or one might call interrogating. Some brothers due to imperfections, and personality conflicts with the accused, have axes to grind. I'm younger, but I've been around long enough to have seen that first hand. As far as due process of law, Egg, there's an appeal process, there's witnesses, according to the new book if my memory serves me correct the witnesses don't even have to be Jehovah's, if you catch my drift. After the defendant has been convicted, its put on his permanent record, and even sent to the brothers in New York. You can liken the private reproval to a misdemeanor, and the DFing to a felony conviction. Since we're discussing marital infedility and grounds for scriptural divorce, there are some choice articles in the WT CD Rom about new evidence coming up after the Judicial committee settled the matter. When that occurs, they sometimes pursue a new judical committee, one might call it a retrial, with new evidence.
Egg, make no mistake about it, there is due process and defendants, and a whole lot more that resembles Caesar's laws and processes.

I don't have much to add to this thread other than both Eggnogg and Metatron are right to a degree. Chances are if you follow the quick solution Metatron states, she's going to want a divorce. Its pretty much guaranteed that she's going to do it. When it comes to a DFing, its not a given that just because infedility occured and it led to a divorce, that they're going to DF you. However, often enough when a person commits infedility, they're so far gone that when they appear before the Judicial Committee, its unlikely they'll show remorse. Emotions being high they may even make an argument that their actions were wrong but justified. "That bitch made me do it! Right Tom? You were married to her before me! Don't you get all high and mighty on me now just cuz you're an elder!" Correct me if I'm wrong Eggnogg, or Elderelite, but I don't think infedility leading to divorce automatically leads to a DFing. I can see a reproval depending on the extenuating circumstances and the defendant's attitude toward the whole thing.
At the same time though I agree with Metatron that the punishment in the congregation can come off light at a times. I've seen brothers get DF'd and after coming back a year or so later, you see them having privileges again despite their offense being commone knowledge in the congregation and still fresh in the congregation's memory. I don't believe elders just quietly go along with it all, as much as they recognize their own limitations when it comes to handling the matter. There's only so much they can do.
wow, dudes and dudess, it really looks like glacial fragmentation is inevitable in the mighty mom.. unless j. mason is making this all up.
but his sources seem credible.. kudos j. mason.. somehow i smell a bill bowen in this.
that makes it hot!
Not to be rude or anything, but I hate these kinds of threads. All they do is get your hopes up like a balloon, and then reality hits like a dart and pops it.
i've got a guilty pleasure, i enjoy watching the great white sharks sneak up on seals and ducks and all those teeth ripping flesh.
they are beautiful creatures.
those huge bodies flying through the air with a seal in their mouth smashing back down into the water.
watch those types of programs regularly, as I find them quite educational. The killings I'm not too keen about, but I accept that as being part of life and death in the animal kingdom.
The most difficult for me to watch was the male lion killing the cubs that weren't his .... never watched that episode again.
I don't have much to contribute to this thread, plus this thread probably should die as I consider the title and theme in hindsight. I just wanted to say that I've never been fond of seeing the male lions killing unrelated cubs either. By the way, your screen name is slick.
chicken?.
loaf of french bread?.
side of beef?.
I just got back from dinner at my brother in law's house. He had stuffed chicken breast with mushrooms and stuffing, and gravy. To die for!! I had a piece of chocalate cake from a bakery that I bought yesterday. It was a slice of cake, for $6 bucks and some change, crazy price tag for a slice, but it was worth it. Had a Coors Light and a slice of cake. Getting ready to call it a wrap in a minute.
