this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.
i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.
i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.
Pretty soon the work in China will break out, and you may have a chance of someone from China. Hang in there.
Sorry, I shouldn't make lite of your delema. You never know how the future unfolds, It helps when you don't think too much about it. Think about the misery that couples are now having due to making desperate choices.
i was baptized in 1968. last meeting 2010. i have to say i was never 100% in.
there were times i absolutely believed, but i never really gave it my all.
never liked service, assemblies, meetings.
What's this???? Some of you are not now still 100%. You should march right back to your COBE and hand in your resignation. This aint no Disco, It aint no Country Club, either. This is L.A.
i still do not understand the new structure at this point.. there has to be something between thousands of co's and the gb.
i know there were zone overseers that the do's reported to.. i have spoken to a couple of elders i can talk to frankly and they both said they have no idea.. rub a dub.
.
Good question, Rub. I believe you have found a glitch in the system. With no one to answer for/to they will have no control. When the cat is away the mice will play.
Calling Occupants...Of interplanetary Craft. Quite Exroardinary, Extra -Ordinary Craft... that was another great song of the Carpenters.
who else thinks something is afoot with this?
is the gb deciding to go back to pre-1971 times with perhaps the cobe as the man in charge and the rest just ministerial servants.
so for this reason they want younger men in those postitions?
I think it gives people hope. Most of the COBE's are a pain in neck/ass. I think that this birthday will be celebrated behind closed doors with the greatest of glee.
so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.
the propaganda was mind blowing.
i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.
Sorry about your freak out experience, DD. Sorry I'm not a Dr, and can't help you with that frustration. Get some chocolate, though
for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.

Lois....I'm not the type to kiss and tell.

I enjoyed many days in the early 70's when I was workin in FS with my wife to be. We had some nice walks in Autumn, in those small Quebec towns. We had great conversations with the simple people from those towns. Perhaps none of them became JW's, but, they were friendly to us. Was it a waste of time? Why do I look back at those days with pleasant thoughts? I often think about those small towns and want to revisit them.
its unbelievable to me that one verse in the bible blows up the entire jw dogma and its amazing to me that with all this bible reading we jw's did we missed it.
even faders and people who quit for many reasons missed it.
what verse am i talking about it verse 9 of chapter 5 of revelations.
What's this? A new meaning for those two scriptures.
Now, we shall follow you, for now we know that you have the truth.
but im still in and on the fence.
" remember who owns the fence?".
shunning needs to be tempered.
Amen, Venting.
A few other things.....
Women should have the right to wear pants.
Men should have the right to grow a beard
Those with hearing problems should have the right to masterbate, and they should announce that change with a new video, with the guy smiling this time.
Now I'm getting a headache.
