  Relating to Non-JW's

  by LucidSky in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i read the "ex-witness singles" thread and it seems like a good idea.

  the thought has crossed my mind many times before since non-jw's often don't seem to care or understand.

  i would love being able to relate on something that has played such an important part of your lives (uh, understated - something your world is supposed to revolve around.

  i will try to be to the point with this and make it as short and sweet as possible.

  my hubby is wild turkey and we have not been to a meeting since may of last year.

  he was the one who started having doubts and shared them with me, i hit the roof and told him he was gonna bring demons in our home!

  Hi LyinEyes. Just caught your story. It certainly takes strength to follow through with what you know in your heart is right. It seems very difficult at first and it is not always easy, but it does get easier as you go.

  The people here are great, so know that you're not alone!

  Protecting Children From Sex

  2. relationships

  with controversy surrounding a soon-to-be-published book entitled harmful to minors: the perils of protecting children from sex ( http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/dailynews/childsex_book020405.html), it is apparent that attitudes may indeed be changing in our society in regard to sex among youths.

  instead of being totally avoided, they may be given encouragement to practice sex (obviously within safe limits) with other youths or even adults.

  some cultures already encourage something like this.. socially, it seemed that boys were given subtle encouragement to "score", while girls were always viewed as the innocent victims to be protected from such lustful young men.

  TR, that is a perfectly valid point about unwanted pregnancy. Even though such a thing could happen any particular time in your life, it would be most devastating for a child. Probably the best thing to do would be to teach them about safe sex, while not particularly giving encouragement to go out and use it right away!

  In that light then here's another hypothetical question: If one day birth control is perfected to the point where you can choose whether or not you want a child, how would that affect your views on sex?

  Six, just wanted to say, great post! I think your progressive (and insightful) ideas are on track.

  Q to Vijay:

  You must be joking. 007 on an island populated exclusively by women. We won't see him til dawn.

  suppose some higher intelligence did not make us what we are.

  humanity is truly in control of it's entire destiny... however good, or bad, that may (yet) turn out to be.

  that pleasantly frightening thought crosses your mind on occasion when your faith structure is challenged.. here are some things i'm guessing might be in store for the future (fyi: i'm an optimist):.

  That is, to go back to nature and put real value on natural resources.

  You're right, joelbear. I think that was finally being realized in the last century with the movement toward environmental protection and such. We have a long ways to go still.

  Hyghlandyr, my advice to you is to start your own cult. There are plenty of cult startup resources out there. Check out http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/2347/cult.html for some tips. I will help out as long as I get to be Vice President.

  Grrrr! Prisca!!! You are so getting yourself into a lot of trouble around here! To think, you had me believing you were this nice well-behaved woman. Alright... second cousins. But don't tell.

  So who's your favorite? I like Donny because we were always both a little bit rock and roll. http://www.donny.com

  Socially, it seemed that boys were given subtle encouragement to "score", while girls were always viewed as the innocent victims to be protected from such lustful young men. Well, times have changed for the sexually liberated modern woman too. With the exception of being the butt of certain jokes, she is less likely to be viewed as any more promiscuous than a man who sleeps around.

  So the question is, would you ever be able to consider encouraging your child to have safe sex? Why or why not?

  Suppose some higher intelligence did not make us what we are. Then we are really on our own. Really. Humanity is truly in control of it's entire destiny... however good, or bad, that may (yet) turn out to be.

  Here are some things I'm guessing might be in store for the future (FYI: I'm an optimist):

  Cheap, efficient sources of energy. This will lead to greater and greater amounts of free time for people. Ahhh, I love working 2 days a weekend. It will give us so much more free time to devote to higher fulfillment... Well, we know some here would like to devote themselves to lower fulfillment.

  How about advances in medicine? After cracking The Big Code we went on to bioengineer everything, including children and furniture. I'm thinking they'll have those telemerates working correctly by then. Think of it: eternal life. Well, not quite.

  The WBTS? Of course it disbanded back in October 2008 due to legal pressure against it and eventual non-support by members. Sure, a few nuts still clung on, but the Dubs never really seemed to gain much more than a few thousand followers after that. *

  So where do you see humanity taking us?

  * Disclaimer: Do not be like some apostate brothers who may have unwisely read into my words. Such ones began to set their hopes on dates or events. Their foolhardy hopes quickly vanished as the time came and went and nothing came to pass. Keep in mind that I would never claim to be a prophet, nor was any mention of such a date ever directly made in my posts. And if it was, then it must be your fault for reading it.
