DRY BEGGING....

by Snoozy in

i just learned about this yesterday..i was amazed!.

i have a grown daughter that is a expert at this... .

dry begging:to ask for in an indirect and roundabout way.

I used to work with a dude named Mike, he had some issues to say the least. Good dude, but something was a little off upstairs. He used to see what I'd eat for lunch, and start droppin hints like, "Wow that looks good. Maybe I'll cook up something later. Where'd you order that from? How much was it? They gave you that much too? I'll see if the wife will cook up some later." He'd do this everyday, and it never really bothered me, because I can be a selfish bastard when push comes to shove. He moved to North Carolina, and I miss the dude. I was suggesting that we link up at a popular wing joint, me and him, as a saying goodbye good gesture. He was thrilled because I'd be paying for it. I didn't mind, I genuinely wanted to pay for it cuz I like the cat. Well, it never transpired for whatever reasons. I'm not on FAcebook or Myspace or any of that mess, and I asked a girl who is to say wsup to him on my behalf, and he never responded. I'm under the impression he felt slighted since it didn't work out. Easy come easy go is my motto when it comes to people, especially people you work with. He definately was looking for a free meal without asking directly. All he had to do was ask me, and I'd do it, and he wouldn't owe me anything. I hate when mofos do that okey dokey nonsense. Just be straight up with me, and I'll give you my shirt.

There's plenty of JWs who pull that crap too. After you've given them your shirt, its amazing how quick the relationship goes sour once they get what they want. So much for love. I guess the old adage is true, about it being more profitable to be feared rather than love.

Crazy, Mofos been posting a long time. Sheesh. I just started posting like last year or something. Who's been posting here since the beginning, and still posting other than Simon?

Real talk Simon, I know we had some disagreements within the past couple days, but I owe you for this message board. Thank you for providing this outlet, when you didn't have to. Thank you.

Were women and men of the film noir era more seductive and classy? Gloria Grahme for instance?

i like watching old black and white flicks on a rainy day.

someting about those kinds of films coincides well with dreary days.

I like watching old black and white flicks on a rainy day. Someting about those kinds of films coincides well with dreary days. Something I noticed about those films, and that time, people were really dapper back then. Even the gangsters back then, like Lucky Luciano, who was a really clean dude. I've always liked looking at old photos and film of him in documentaries. Personally speaking, I think actors, actresses, and gangsters were cleaner, more elegant, and presentable than today's stars. At least in the fashion sense of things, because as far as whoredom and loose morals, bad behavior in public, I don't think much has really changed on that end of things with the exception of it being more open about it nowadays.

This past Friday night, Merton of the Movies came on AMC. It stars Red Skelton, and Virginia O'brien who wasn't a bad looking gal at all. The actress that caught my eye though was Gloria Grahme. I never heard of, nor seen her up until Friday night. She was seriouis business bruhs. Something about the black and white film and her style which was in vogue back then, made her all the more appealing. Like if you were see her today, walking down the street dressed like females do nowadays, you wouldn't look twice. She would be just another random woman, and they come a dime a dozen. But looking at her in that film, did something to me. She was whoa. MAtter fact, double whoa.

She was no joke son.

My man Lucky Luciano. A bad man.

Lost Legitimate Opportunities For Love

by PublishingCult in

when you were in the organization of jehovah's witnesses, did you shun legitimate courtship attempts from "worldly" men or women who were otherwise very desirable and suitable because they were non-believers?

.

did you fancy them as well, but tried to get them to study and come into the organization in order to justify the relationship?.

miseryloveselders

This subject is a sore point for me too. On one end of things in hindsight, I'm resentful over this because it caused me to live a double life for significant amount of time. I was doing what young men do, and never got caught. I had to give it up though, because my conscience was in a wreck, and it was too stressful to continue on like that always having to cover my tracks, or looking over my shoulder when taking a girl out.

Nowadays, I'm a lot more frustrated because I'm passed the hitting and run stages of life, and I'm ready to go ahead and get married. Then I messed up and came across this forum and FreeMinds. It would be effed up of me to commit to a JW female, when my heart isn't necessarily into worshiping the faithful and discreet slave. At the hall, and at assemblies, I've had brothers ask me, I just laugh and tell folks that my circumstances at this time prevent me from such. Its funny when a JW female asks for your number so that she can "call you when she's having a gathering or going out with friends and wants to see if you'd like to come hang out too."

In a way, I'm not lying when I say that my circumstances wouldn't permet it at this as it is partially true, just not for the reasons they think. Then to add insult to injury or salt into the wound, I'm around worldly females at work, and I've recieved hints from a couple of them that I would love to explore. That stupid "marry only in the lord" verse that the WT has twisted to suite their own agenda has me and others between a rock and a hard place. You know how people say when you meet that one, you'll know? I think I have met someone, and for a second I even imagined giving my life for her. She put that much of a doozy on me. On top of that I get the feeling that she's expecting me to ask her out, and I just keep disappointing her.

is getting a blood transfusion in itself a DF offense?

by oompa in

jw

i know if you join the military it is considered that you have dissassociated yourself...but if you are in an accident and are given blood when you are unconcious...is that in itself reason for df?

or what if you willingly accepted a blood transfusion?

what if you do not show remorse or repentance or even refuse to meet with the elders?

miseryloveselders

The DA announcement is only "supposed" to happen when the subject "willingly and unrepentantly takes blood." Even then, the elders are to investigate the person's attitude to see if he or she is repentant. Also, they need to consider the circumstances such as extreme pressure being placed on the individual at that time. If the person shows repentance, or remorse, then the person would be removed of privileges, and possibly an announcement made in these words, "The elders have handled a matter having to do with Insert name here. You will be glad to know that spiritual shepherds are endeavoring to render assistance." If the person doesn't show repentance or remorse, then the DA announcement is made.

Although not written in the Flock book, when one recieves a transfusion unconsciously, its pretty much handled the same way. They're looking for repentance, or remorse, and also why the individual recieved a transfusion in the first place considering that the publisher should have had information on hand stating their beliefs on blood transfusions.

Oompa, I'm thinking in your situation, they were looking to axe you anyway. Your accident and the transfusion given later simply landed in their laps conveniently. Me personally, I say move on, but if you have a warrior's heart, then go ahead and make life difficult on them.

How to remain sane while being a hypocrite?

by Kensho in

as time goes on i find it a real challenge to keep my sanity while still in "the truth" especially after considering all the rsearch i have been doing about the org.

that i have been very active in for almost 4 decades.

i have managed to be removed as an elder while staying in good standing (prayers-reading,mic carring etc.

miseryloveselders

Even if you were able to work the doors alone, going out door to door as a jw is not just being a hypocrite but it is encouraging others to join a high control group that destroys people emotionally, physically, and financially.

This would be true if field service was effective.
