Hey fellas, as you got older, into your early 30s, did you start finding women between their late 30s and late 40s attractive?

somedays my dad would look at what i still call an older woman, and he'd call her attractive.

i'd look at him like dude your nuts.

i'm thinking just cuz your older doesn't mean its wrong to find younger women attractive.

I'm a woman and I find women beautiful period but I find women in their 40's and up to be freakin sexy!

"Church"

by OnTheWayOut in

i hadn't read any other comments that spoke of a movement among jw's but i have to ask.. background in italics before the point of the thread:.

i was in the company of my never-ever-a-jw sister and my jw mother.

sis was exposed to the religion as a youth just as i was, but neither of us stuck with the jw's when mom was df'ed in 1976 when armageddon didn't come and mom went back to the world.

Like someone said in a previous thread, there a chruch when it comes to them getting their tax breaks, and there a clergy when it comes to them getting their judicial and religious rights...lol Buuuut according to them, they have no clergy, and there meeting bulidings are called 'Kingdom Halls' not chruches. I just always use to say chruch when I was in grade school what difference does it truly make.

Yeah I remember my parents used to tell me growing up, not a chruch, but a kingdom hall. I'm like do you even know where the word 'Kingdom Hall' comes from?

What are the names of the current GB members? Do the R&F know the Names?

i never knew who was controlling my life.

i didn't know who they were, how they governed, what they personally believed etc.. granted the wtbts never put any of that out there but there are people who knew them and would of course relate "experiences" of meeting them and from that you could derive certain aspects of their personality.. i never thought to investigate the leadership until i started asking questions.. so how many are there now and what are their names?

i would like to ask my family if they can name them by heart.

Joliette

Yep thats them. Don't be fooled by the friendly smiles and cheap J.C Pennies suites. These guys are BEAST!

Obey Us!

I want to get baptized...but how and why should it happen?

...and not saying that i have to get baptized as a jehovah's witness.

i was an unbaptized publisher, but i had to step down because of some confessions i made to the elders about two years ago.

(yes, sexual confessions, i told them that i wasnt a virgin).

>>>You could get baptized in the name of The Flying Spaghetti Monster

Nope not too familar with him...lol, he sounds pretty scary.

Thank you guys for your answers giving me a lot to think about.

Nickolas: Thats all I'm saying!! Hello...what is the baptism thing really about when it comes to the WTBTS?? And if I brought up Jesus my parents would be like: Well, he was Jesus. He couldnt waited for as long as he wanted.

PS: Thats why I really want for it to be private and not to have a line of elderly sisters with heavy makeup and loud lipstick and JC Pennies outfits with strong perfume waiting to hug and kiss me. I think the gesture is sweet but I want it to be private.
