well we are getting a new pup and i'm not set on a name yet.

it is a sweet baby girl cairn terrier (like toto).

she is wheaten, which is a blonde color.. she will be coming home to big brother jinx (meaning magic charm or spell), who is a red brindle color.. i have thought of many names but can't decide.. i really like gypsy (goes well with jinx), but don't like it for such a blonde pup.

from my previous thread on allowing beards/goatee's and the pact that you brought up.

i've started my goatee this past weekend!

came into work this morning and one guy i worked with looks at me and goes, "wtf is that?
coffee shop guy

CHG - The nose glitter would look good on you as yes, I will love you.
The bald head and oil on my naked body would look great in a dream or if we ran off to a remote desert island for an extended period of time. How bout a compromise and we both get all oiled up and play slip and slide until we run out of oil, and then go buy some more.
The anniversary is coming up soon so let me know what you want. I'll shave your knoggin if you want and guess what!! I'll still love you, support you, protect you and feel blessed to have you as my friend.

- flurry of calls?, co/coboe "we want to encourage you..."?

Vitrolic:
acerb: harsh or corrosive in tone; "an acerbic tone piercing otherwise flowery prose"; "a barrage of acid comments"; "her acrid remarks make her many enemies"; "bitter words"; "blistering criticism"; "caustic jokes about political assassination, talk-show hosts and medical ethics"; "a sulfurous ...
caustic: of a substance, especially a strong acid; capable of destroying or eating away by chemical action

Sounds like you burned that bridge to nowhere pretty good. Happy Birthday!

Does it sound like a "cop out" when...

by Coffee House Girl in

one of my really good jw friends (which now means he can no longer be my friend) came into the shop i work in today with two other jw's to buy some guitar strings and things- i could tell he was uncomfortable walking in the shop (he hesitated at the door) and i was on the phone so i couldn't wait on them personally so all i could think of to do is make a smart ass comment about his hair cut.. they made their purchase & walked out we smiled and waved to each other.. he obviously did not buy anything and they all know where i work, so he just came in to check me out (not in a flirty way).. he has always been a bit on the "edge" when it comes to jw practices (watches r rated movies, listens to "bad" music, drinks, and he does text me occasionally to talk about music and un-jw related subjects).

should i have tried to reach him with the truth about the truth?.

i ponder this question lately with some of my loved ones so i will ask you all........ if i could be reached by talking rationally with me to look further into the religion i was blindly following- should i try reaching someone i care about?.

Mad Sweeney : CHG and I met at a coffee house. We are together now and that's how we got our names. Where she works and why they sell guitar strings is a long story. Goes back to the 70's. She doesn't but the owners do.

We had a little conversation about her friend who is still in the bOrg. Even I am not sure how to respond to her questions. Like CHG I fear for her being exposed in any way that will cause the inevitable DF'ing. CHG's relationship with her mom and dad are so very important to her. I know in her heart she wants him to be free but knows first hand the cost. I fear the risk of her speaking out.

I am thankful every time CHG goes home and spends a day with her mom and dad. I've never had the fear that someday that freedom could be removed, by of all things the church.

Thanks to all of you for being here for us,

Cougars beware having a much younger husband can send a woman to an early grave

by Scott77 in

women who marry men seven to nine years their junior could be upping their odds of dying sooner, german researchers report.. "one of the few possible explanations is that couples with younger husbands violate social norms and thus suffer from social sanctions," sven drefahl, from the max planck institute for demographic research (mpidr) in rostock, germany, said in a news release.

such couples could therefore be stigmatized as outsiders -- receiving less social support, enduring a more stressful life and perhaps developing poorer health as a result, drefahl speculated.. please, what is your reaction to this new research finding?

here is a link to the article.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7715375/being-a-cougar-can-send-a-woman-to-an-early-grave.html.

Zid: Coffee house Girl and I are 22 years appart. If we marry she could catch up to me.

FlyingHighNow: I wouldn't trade this life for anything. We have no regrets. My family (all non JW's) have accepted her and our age gap.

do Jehovah witness teaches about grace and what it is?

by evangelist 1 in

i would like to know does jhw teaches what grace is , and how to recieve grace without any works , merits and qualifications?.

what is saved grace to jhw?.

if we are saved in the name of jesus why do they have to do things like go witnessing , and etc to get god to accept them when grace has already made us righteous un jesus and not jehovah?.

Evangelist 1,

I'm a non JW. Always have been. I got on this blog because Coffee House Girl and I are together. One of our first lengthy discussions was on the topic of grace. She was explaining to me the life of a JW. Grace wasn't a part of the mindset. I asked where grace comes in when she spoke of DF and DA. She had the "deer in the headlight" look when I asked.

Bottom line is, grace is not understood or I dare say accepted by those in the borg. Simply because it's not taught. I got on my soap box and preached grace to CHG for the next few days after the blank stare. Not in your face preaching but an honest understanding of the undeserved love God gives us daily. We're given the choice to accept, forgive, understand, embrace and seek wisdom all because of grace. It's huge and such a non-DFing thing to have.

How on earth could a JW learn anything if grace abounds? Grace allows me to fall short of perfection and still be accepted. I am one thankful man for the grace God gives.

Are any of you addicted to your new sexual revolution?

by Coffee House Girl in

now that i am free from my bonds to an organization dictating to me what i can and cannot do (in bed included), i cannot stop.....i feel like an addict on coke or something, i have been with my bf for eight months now, and perhaps it is a combination of the newness of a sexual relationship with the release from my spiritual bonds, but....i feel like a cat in heat 24/7.

of course my bf is not complaining even though i see he is physically tired parts of the day that i actually leave him alone (to go to work or sleep after hours of lovemaking).

i wonder if anyone else has gone through similar experience.

coffee shop guy

Shamus: I'm buying Corn Flakes by the pallet. There will be none left over I'm sure.

They say men mature slower than women. I think I have a little bit to go yet but we share a relationship that has meaning and purpose. We are joined at the hip and so many other places. I feel like I'm 25 again and she brings it all out in me.

I honestly didn't think it was possible to do the things we do. I was wrong and I hope to be so wrong for a long long time.

We do spend as much time together as we can. We have one day a week where it's just us. We love from the minute we wake through the next morning. If this is a silly phase I just want to be as giddy as I can. It'll take a life time to wipe that smile off our faces.

Oz: LOL! Yes there are some who don't see the gap in us anymore. I don't see CHG doing anything different with my bum than what she's doing now. She'll leave the personal hygine up to me I'm sure.

advice- don't watch subtitled movies naked. It's to easy to miss so much when you can't read and it's a wasted 90 mins we could be doing something else.

Life is an amazing experience. Live it fully and do enjoy it.
