since jw are not allowed to live together and cannot have sexual relations before they get married are many jw marriages unhappy?

i hear that they think jw marriages are much happier than normal marriages...can anyone verify that?.

I must be the most boring Aquarius ever! My hairs one color, I'm pierce free, and my idea of paradise is being stuck on remote greek island with a satillite dish and a stack of books.

P.S. Yes, I suppose that Discover card ad *could* be considered funny.

OK, this is gonna sound a little ungreatful after you provided that list for me (at no charge .. yet), but a few don't work. I just tried the blush and the sarcastic and no dice. Am I doing it wrong? here's what I'm using: [:|] and [8&>]

I can just play around until I guess them I suppose (considering the prospect) naaah, I don't need 'em that bad!

it really depends on the couple realist. If they follow the letter of the wt like they're 'sposed to, they can only be without a chaparron when they are in public places. They're never supposed to be together alone until they're hubby and wife. So hand holding, and even kissing in moderation (more like quick pecking!) was ok if you don't mind an audience, but anything more than that was considered 'inappropriate.'

It's extreme, sure, and extremely complicated by the wt rule-makers, but probably not that different than the standards of, say 100 years ago. How were marriages back then? Beats me, but most folks say it was better (they ALWAYS say it was better in the past... sort of a witness, 'deep in the last days' kinda thing if you ask me).

Of course, they can also just sleep together, feign repentance, and get reinstated in like 3 mo.'s ... in time for a fabulously drap wedding at a KH if they want (but who would?).

Great idea rabbit, but I'm already blushing just imagining what's gonna go up over there! (if I knew how to use those damn emoticons i'd put a blushing one here)

I can't wait!!

I&P, are you kidding?!

There are alot of former bethelites who've gotten "out". It's hard to eat and sleep at the 'headquarters' and not eventually see how this group of old farts who meet once a week RULE YOUR LIFE. Not to mention how much tradition there is.

After a while, you see your just like a Stonemason or something. You just serve some kind of weird group with weird ways.

P.S."holy ground" eh? Yea, there was something very cool about how I was put on pedestal while I was there. Especially by chicks! The "Elderettes" comment I saw on another thread is sooo true!! Marry a bethelite, and they were set for life. Yea, come to think of it, I loved it!!
