  Finding a mate

  by MissMary in

  2. relationships

  so here i am 44 yr old divorced and free to remarry jw sister....first time single since i was 19. but guess what no single brothers in my area.

  i’ve tried those stupid jw dating sites and still no luck.

  oh yes there are tons of single brothers, but guess what...they all expect a hot barbie to come running into their life.

  I'm assuming that "full figured" means "fat". A person who is obese might not only be found to be "physically unattractive" (society is like that today), but there is also the issue of it being very unhealthy. At 44yo you're probably about to see that, if you are not already. Diabetes. Heart disease. High blood pressure. Knee and hip replacement.

  Forget about finding the perfect man. Quit drinking booze (if you do). Get on a strict diet (2000 cal or less). And exercise -- walk walk walk. You'll feel better and you'll even look better.

  Good luck!

  It's not gonna happen. The Republicans have always been weak when it comes to enforcing the Law.

  I think the Republicans fear that they'll be the next ones caught at something and they don't want to set a precedent of sending politicians to prison.

  Sin came into the world - not true?

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matt 5:27 “you have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery.’ 28 but i say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.. this means that even before someone commits an act that is considered a sin or wrong but does think about it, that person actually already committed that sin or trespassing.. now read this:.

  rom.

  5:12 so then, just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.. this means that there was already sin in the world before adam and eve actually ate the fruit.

  Current word is that super-spreader Trump is now responsible for getting 34 of his contacts/team members infected with the covid19 bug!

  Surely they will ALL DIE!
  After all, this is a PANDEMIC!

  why has it taken so long to get this out?

  .

  "director of national intelligence john ratcliffe declassified documents revealing that then-cia director john brennan briefed president obama in 2016 on hillary clinton’s “plan” to stir up a scandal tying then-candidate donald trump to russia and distracting from the controversy over her private email server.".

  I predict nothing to come of it.

  This kind of shit is only bad if it's done by Trump's family or cronies. Then it's "treason". Here comes another impeachment!

  How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.

  they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.

  they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

  So, your relatives have gotten more cult-like and distant over the last decade or so?

  I think that's true with many JDubs because the WTS/GB is ramping up the rhetoric. Not only DFd people are BAD. "Inactive" and "irregular" pubs in the Cong/Borg are "bad association" too. These may not be totally shunned, but they will find themselves excluded from all the extra social activities going on in the Cong. They simply are not "spiritual" enough.

  given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.

  Funny. But sadly true. But no one seems to care.

  Has anyone taken the time to scrutinize the changes? I haven't been able to dedicate the time to do so yet. Has it been 10 years since the last update? Just wondering if this is a periodic thing or was there so much "new light" that they had to re-write their rules?

  Haven't seen you guys on here lately. Glad you're doing well. I watched one of your youtube videos and will try to get around to others later.You're both poised and articulate and you do a great job with your presentation. I suspect you two were "superstars" in JW Land and your "falling away" was probably a huge shock (and hopefully eye-opener) to many who know you.

  It seems according to this doctor that there was always a cure for Covid 19

  the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.

  have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.

  there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.

  Our son, a nurse, says many of the docs who are treating covid patients on a daily basis are taking hydroxychloroquine prophylactically.
