anyone "lurking around" ever attend indianapolis eastside congs (eastgate, arlington heights, irvington, etc.
) about 20 - 25 years ago?
i've been df'd about 20 years and have never looked back.
Hey, Patio. I'm familiar with Lebanon. I helped build the KH there back in the 80s. Well, ok, I didn't actually work on the KH. I worked in the kitchen while it was being built.
Funny. My parents went to Lebanon Cong back in the late 40s, I believe. Where you at now? Town, that is. :-) Not cong! LOL
I see that you walked away in 2001. I did so in 1999. So, I guess I wasn't Y2K compliant! :-)

Hi. I am from Anderson IN. I had relatives that went to Lawrence, and even went there myself. (The log cabin KH). I know some of the people you are talking about. Where you at now?
I also went to College Park for several years. That's where Zionsville folks would go.
howdy, this is to try out our new "desperately seeking" forum -----some of us who have moved over the years......or are just not free to say outloud "i don't wanna be a jw!!!".
soooooooooo, i grew up in indianapolis, in - stayed until i was 30, primarily irvington congregation on 21st street (eastside) - anybody around there?
then kokomo cong.
Hi, Waiting!
Hmmm... Trimline. Their were a lot of JWs in that. I knew some from New Castle, but their name escapes me right now. They were actual brothers (not just the JW kind). And, I know they were thought by the gals as "good looking." I had a couple of close friends that got into Trimline, too. Geesh, what was that all about?
I'm afraid I don't remember much about the Needhams. I do remember they were nice folks. That was a long time ago, about 1984. I was only in that cong for 6 months or so.
Glad to meet you too. So, I take it you are not in love with south carolina???
How about those Pacers???

I think most everyone knows Larry. He gets around. And, the last I knew, he's not married. But, I heard he's dating the daughters of girls he used to date! And, some have said granddaughters! :-) They are of age, though. LOL

Hi. Well, guess what. I am from Indiana, Anderson to be exact. Lived in Indy for 11 years or so. Moved to Spartanburg SC in 1998. The people that you mention I remember by name. I grew up "in the truth." You know. So, I know a lot of people. Especially when I moved to Indy. I think you mentioned the Needhams. I was in a cong with them at Lawrence, seems like. I spent time at College Park, too. Lots of time there. Just wanted to say hello!
Anyone know Larry Liggette? (Not sure of spelling)

i have seen several threads about how the elders are going to be going around asking people if they still consider themselves to be jehovah's witnesses.
this will undoubtedly result in multiple da announcements in the coming months.
i'm curious how the average jw will perceive this and respond to it.
Interesting thread. This explains why someone called and talked to my 14 yo step-son, saying he knew me and asked if I was a JW. Of course, since I haven't attended a meeting for several years, my step-son said no. I wonder what they'll do with that???
without going into too much of my personal life here cos i really do have great sex!!!!!
basically, being brought up to believe that masturbation was wrong i think has affected my adult sex life!
hard to type this without being physically sick but whenever i masturbated wen i was young,i always felt if i didnt cum,i hadnt sinned as much!
I understand that sex for a woman is very mental (I didn't read all those "Young People Ask" articles for nothing! LOL)
That must be pretty cool. I have never heard of a guy doing that, though, even as visual as we are!

Spice,
So, I take it you have experienced this firsthand?

there's a wts conference in san francisco going on (i'm in oakland) and i haven't heard from my "friend" (i know, i know, i tried to get him out of my system, but its hard) since thurs.
i called to day and finally he answered, i asked him why he hasen't called and what has he been doing and he said he had "something" to do.
he dosen't know that i know where he is.
Hmmm... What do they do at those conventions? Well, different guys talk about the Bible from a stage, they sing songs. They pray. (Or is that prey???) They bring their lunches to eat. Watch the audience, and many sleep. Still, many others spend their times running up and down the stairs to the bathrooms. (Probably so they don't fall asleep.) Truthfully, they have lots of Bible Discourses that encourage the listeners to go back home and go door to door or to live a good family life.
Why won't he tell you? Who knows? Maybe he's embarrased? I'm sure he knows that you know he's a JW?
Interesting comment about Interfaith marriage. Was that published in some magazine? I would imagine that was talking about if one in a married couple becomes a JW and the other mate is of a different religion. If a person is not married, then you are bad, bad, bad, if you date another person who is not a JW. Why? Because that non-JW might help you see the light and quite being a JW.
:-)

I've heard this from more than ex-jw's. Lots of catholics have this problem, too.
Hey, you know, you gotta figure, if God gave us the ability to enjoy it, then we need to enjoy it. I figure, we enjoy other things without feeling bad. A good beer, a good cigar, a good meal. So, why should sex be any different.
Masturbation really can help you figure out how your body works. I'm a guy, and like most guys, we know how our body works. Heck, we go through life with this pendulum swinging in our pants as we walk down the street!
Gals are different. So, what you have to do is figure out what feels the best. Do that alone. Or better, do it with someone else. It is more fun. :-) Let that person please you. Tell them what feels best.
Some women take longer than others. I know one gal who can't cum unless she's having regular sex. It's just what makes her feel good. Go figure? But, it works for her.
Just remember. It's your body and your feelings. Don't feel bad about letting those feelings work for you.
