i remember reading, and hearing in talks, that people who have turned themselves into the type of person who engages in indiscriminate sex, will suffer depression, problems in relationships and illnesses related to such a life style.

this line of fear was often drawn, to make a young person in the congregation fear the idea of having sex out of wedlock, and perhaps be enough to control the extreme drive of their hormones in early years.

I think sex betwen to people who really care for eachother is best. When two people have sex there is always the chance a child will be created, having said that it is best a child is brought into a loving relationship between two people. If you are having sex with whoever whenever that it is not a good situation for a child to be brought into. I also dont understand wanting to be that intimate with a person I hardly know

Losing Their Grip In Europe

while the society managed some very modest increases this past year ( on paper!

), there's one trend that may have them caught.

by the short hairs!

Do you really believe the numbers? They can alter them any way they like and when people turn in their numbers they can lie. I know I use to make up numbers all the time when I turned them in. Especially towards the last couple of years I was in.

Who Will Be Celebrating Thanksgiving & XMas This Year???

funny thing about jws----many celebrate thanksgiving but say they're only eating turkey with all the fixings by coincidence.

god made the food to be consumed everyday.

then you get witnesses who celebrate christmas the day before or after with all sorts of presents but they won't give it on the 25th because that day is pagan.

You bet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for me i found myself more involved politically and in community and business affairs.

not as cynical as i once was and not as judgemental as when i was a jw.

also more empathetic about people and finally able to see some beauty in the world.

The old Beverly is back. That may be good or it may be bad. I'm definitely happier and much more at ease.

The Memorial...

by Justice-One in

does anyone still go to the memorial?

i was just thinking that although i made it quite clear to my wife that i was not going to go to anymore meetings or conventions (i made a comment about not wanting to be there when the kool-aid came out) that i caught myself thinking the other day that i might go to the memorial just to keep her happy.

but then i thought why?

lv4fer

If I did go again haven't for 5 years. I would have to partake. I wouldn't want them to be able to count me in their numbers.

I have to laugh! They talk about how this is a violations of his rights. Oh please. As far as I'm concerned he has no rights. We publish pictures of stars clothed in more/less revealing clothes. He is a murderer and I hope it humilates him even further!
