  I like how it looks in other people but not for myself. A question specially for women.

  by StarTrekAngel in

  i like how it looks in other people but not for myself.. this is a phrase i have heard often from my wife.

  now i am to a point where i am trying to figure it out if this is something all women do or say.

  i can understand how you would say this if you were talking about a type of clothing that doesn't go with your figure, except that you may add the disclaimer... "if i had that figure i would wear this".

  Jwdaughter I got old, not blind.

  i like this!

  It may be to do with confidence. Sometimes it's because you have a fear that something won't look good - yet deep down you know it's a bit irrational so you don't want to vocalise it, or draw attention to it!! EG I have a thing about my ankles - typically the clothes I like tend to show off ankles , like what we used to call 'pedal pusher'trousers. I know if I say I love them but don't want to wear them because of xyz..people will just say that I'm being silly.

  we are always our own harshest critics - and notice faults that others don't see. Confidence is usually at the source of most people's reluctance to try something different.

  dear sisters,.

  when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

  doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

  Wow Notnew you really wouldn't have liked my old next door neighbours!

  They were feminist seperatists and whenever a male would ring the house phone they would answer it and yell "so and so, it's for you there's a penis on the phone!"

  Blackwolf there speaks wisdom....the fact is the Borg actually has far less control over women, as the only thing they let us do is recruit...and they're hardly gonna stop that!

  The two elders threaten my sister again

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as i reported here in this forum, some time ago, my sister was constantly harried by two elders so as to be submitted to a judiciary committee for apostasy.

  these two elders were constantly hounding her in the street when she walks to go to her job.

  so she had to send them a notary letter in which she wrote that she would attend the judiciary committee only with her attorney.

  This gives the lie to Geoffrey Jacksons' assertion during the ARC that Jehovah's Witnesses are free to leave the religion without harassment whenever they wish - that elders are not " policemen" to chase them down!!

  Are You Raising An Introvert?

  by darth frosty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

  it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

  this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

  ts apparently rare for females to be diagnosed with aspergers because women deal with it differently

  and its a difficult thing to diagnose in itself.

  there are certain criteria you have to meet to be an aspie,

  but its a much wider spread thing than is recognised as it so often goes unnoticed.

  it also comes with heightened senses in this and that, but not always.

  like a more settled kind of savant.

  but still with unnoticed but massive disabilities socially.

  such as alsmost self damaging honesty

  irrespective of others feelings.

  I think they get termed borderline personality disorder, its horrible, I've witnessed what I now believe were girls with aspergers get turned on by others...horrible to watch. And the poor girls don't pick up the social cues...which looks like they are being intentionally antagonistic, which continues the cycle...utterly misunderstood. How they suffer.

  Edit: but you are right not a disability of and in itself...in fact I believe essential for human evolution ...higher brain power thinking outside the box or the " herd instinct"

  The real reason Chelmsford hasn't been stopped

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  2. beliefs

  i haven't seen this mentioned yet.

  last year in the uk, shortly after the money grab that everyone had, we had a video and letter (both probably still available from atlantis) appealing for money for the new bethel and slips were handed out etc.

  this means that most uk congregations are sending a regular donation specifically for the chelmsford build.

  Namelessan hour ago

  I like this comment on their site, "I suspect this will make resell much easier and maybe get a higher price out of the sell".

  From all the comments, they all seem to be fully aware of the WT's new function as build and resell- at-profit property developers. They are under no illusions but they don't care!!

  The comment about it being the right shape to " float in a flood" made me laugh though!!!!

  Martin If you can't look me in the eye and say it, then it's probably a big fat lie.

  The guys delivery was an embarrassment, an insult to his audience!!!

  He's 81 yes old and KNOWS the BS his generation were given AND WHAT THEY GAVE UP TO SERVE. Disgusting.

  "But WHY would you want to know those things??"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.

  the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?

  its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".

  So awkward when you meet kindly older ones who, at this point in their life, it wouldn't be that productive for them to leave ...exception to that being of course informing them about the ARC , as you did, cos the kids safety trumps even their needs as lonely old folk.

  We have to keep telling them though, cos when the crap hits the fan, and it WILL, they will all turn around and say " BUT WHY DID NOBODY TELL US ABOUT ALL THIS!!"
