  Are straight guys really all that concerned about underwear fashions these days? Or is this just something trending in the gay community.

  As an old fart, I can assure you that 40+/- years ago any guys trotting around the locker room in fluorescent jockey shorts designed to accentuate their “manhood” would have been presumed to be gay (or some synonymous term not so politically correct).

  what is the wt doing these days if someone das but threatens to sue if the elders make an announcement that leads to shunning?.

  i know the elders are supposed to notify the legal department, but what is the legal department telling them to do?.

  I can recall at least one situation where the service department and/or legal department was called when a disgruntled brother threatened to sue. The elders on the JC were asked if said brother really had the financial ability to afford the costs a lawsuit. He did. Their instructions were to drop the matter and leave it in Joe Hoover’s hands.

  Money talks.

  since covid, our lives have all been affected.

  do you think people will ever get back to normal, pre-covid?

  are masks, vaccinations and social distancing the “new normal “?.

  Are You Afraid You Might Do Something or Say Something That Is Considered Politically Incorrect?

  by minimus in

  i was just reading how a guy on the net was saying he was attracted to some black women like halle berry but serena or gayle king not at all.

  he was expressing his opinion.

  anyway, he quickly got fired and he profusely apologized for what he said and has asked for help from the naacp and the mayor’s office to learn to do better.

  When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  obviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.

  .

  but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

  Sadly, I did.

  Hook. Line. And sinker.

  Even managed to convince myself the 1995 generation New Lite was "reasonable".

  Not totally banning gun ownership, but far stricter controls seems to me to be the only way to go.

  Yes! Because people who ignore laws about murdering other people will obey gun control laws. That makes good sense!

  Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.

  whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.

  every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

  Yes indeed!

  Sex was "bad"! And of course, oral sex was the baddest of bad. Played it pretty much by the rules as a JW teenager. Even later (20's) would never go "all the way" because there was some rule about "penetration" prior to the definition of pornea being anything and everything sexual. Even after getting married had a bit of a hangup about oral sex (usually after one of those meeting parts condemning it). Most of us younger married guys joked about NOT getting involved in the "practice" of oral sex with our wives -- because we no longer needed more "practice". In fact. we were damn good at it.
