  In my experience it can take years of a relationship to get to know whether you want to do something like getting married.

  I couldn't agree more! I've never understood this, "We're soul mates and madly in love" after a few dates crap. Yeah I can see you really hitting it off with someone and loving spending time with each other...but to me, that's the easy part--finding someone to get along with. The hard part is finding someone you get along with and wouldn't mind waking up next to for the next 40 odd years.
  

  I just don't want to see my sister get further entrenched in the borg only because she is lonely and horny.

  Sadly--this is what happens to most JW's. It sounds like she has had some really crappy relationships. It also sounds like she is on the rebound. It happens.

  I have been in quite a few situations like this...sadly. You can talk till you're blue in the face, and it usually doesn't matter because they are "in love" and you just "don't understand...it's different this time".

  It sounds like grandma may have been misinformed tho...and perhaps your sis was right, and grandma misunderstood. One can always hope. In the mean time, just be there for your sister. Voice your concerns, but eventually the choice is hers.

  (However in a pinch might I suggest chains and a combination lock only you know the combination to? Hee hee!

  On Education:

  "The question we have to ask ourselves is, 'is our children learning?"

  "My education message will resignate amongst all parents."

  On Abortion:

  "I'm going to talk about the ideal world. I've read--I understand reality. If you're asking me as the President, would I understand reality, I do."

  "States should have the right to enact reasonable laws and restrictions particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live."

  On being the governor of Texas;

  "You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier."

  Randomness of Duh:

  "I think we agree the past is over."

  "I know how hard it is to put food on your families."

  "The senator has got to understand if he's going to have--he can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road."

  "We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor just like you like to be liked yourself."

  Speaking on Perseverance Month:

  "This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve."

  My personal favorite, that sums up EVERYTHING about his presidency:

  "I've never been a long-term planner about anything. I have lived life with more of a short-term focus."

  Our future generations thank you Mr. Bush.

  women.. they're a rummily scrumptious lot.. take breasts for example.

  from a mans point of view, how much better can life be, when you got a beautiful pair of scrumptious breasts to kiss and cuddle upto.

  if god was a breast, i'd love him to bits.. breasts.

  Did Demons Write Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven

  by dh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone remember the jw urban legend that 'the demons' wrote the song 'stairway to heaven' by lez zeppelin.

  i remember being told as a kid that the song was written by 'the demons', because.... .

  the guy who wrote the song was wasted at a party or something, and when he woke up the next day, the song was written in his own writing, but he didn't remember writing it.. .

  I dunno about demons, but I remember the common belief among most God Fearin people was that Led Zepplin was demonized, or into witchcraft, or all of the above.

  I remember my sister had a tape (that's right tape) and got in big trouble. Not because of the lyrics, but because they had a falling angel as a logo...HE WAS NAKED AND FALLING!! OH MY GOD!!

  I wonder if it bothers my parents at all that she married a guy who worships Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and takes her to all the demonic concerts now...lol

  Why Depression Sucks.

  by shamus in

  1. jw

  because you can make jokes and appear "happy" at the drop of a hat, meanwhile, you're being chewed up from the inside out.

  because you can't learn to take one day at a time because your good days are always overshadowed by knowing that you're going to just slip back down again.

  it's inevitable.

  I hate that my silent prayer every night before I go to bed is, "I wish I was dead." It's not being suicidal tho, it's just a wish to cease to exist. To just disolve into nothing and sink into the ground like a small mud puddle.

  It sucks because when people pay you a compliment, you can't believe them. You constantly think they want something from you, or are just being nice as a formality, but they can't really mean what they say.

  It sucks because even tho on some level you know your life isn't that bad, it feels like it is. You just sit and wait, for some break, some piece of advice, anything that will make it go away.

  It sucks because you think nothing but good thoughts for everyone else, and there are none left-over for yourself.
