during our engagement, we fooled around and touch each other down there.
it's not a "tap" but definitely is not "stimulation".
i tried to convince my wife, who, after 5 years of marriage, strangely felt guilty all the sudden, that its not do called porneia.
I feel for your wife, I was in the same boat feeling guilty for stuff that I had done years earlier. On top of that I found out that virtually everyone was doing stuff and never confessed.
But it was the way I was treated when I confessed that helped me find my way out of the borg.
60 years ago, in the western world, it was rare to see in media, any representation of a face that wasn't euro-white.
these days, in response to market driven advertising, that is changing.. i can only speak for oz, and here i note that it is now quite common to see an asian face, most likely east asian (chinese, korean, vietnamese and japanese) in adverts.
for various products.

i have seen ufo's in broad daylight.. what is the party line of the wts on ufo's?please.
anyone else seen these things?.
If I remember correctly the WT take on aliens is as follows:
1 Jehovah created everything in the universe and beyond.
2. Satan made the challenge that people would not worship Jehovah out of love.
3. If Jehovah had created beings on other planets it is likely that they would have already proved or disproved #2
4. Therefore there must not be other planets with sentient beings.
hypothetically speaking, if you are dfd and witnesses call at your home and you give a warm reception and in the course of discussion tell them you had just been praying to jehovah to help you get back on track with him, would they go full force at helping you get back in, even fast tracking it?.
as with many who are dfd with family still in, at time i entertain the notion of returning just to get my family back.. so what do you think about this scenario, would it help or hurt?.
i ask because of how enamored they are with the idea that angels guide their efforts in service and lead them to the sheep.
It would do nothing good for your situation except maybe earn you a visit from the elders. But it would do wonders for bolstering the dubs attitue that they really were being directed by holy spirit. If you were truly sincere you would already know that you needed to go and bore yourself to death at the weekly meetings.
The truth of the matter is the dubs would have taken away your family regardless.
If they became wittneses and other family members didn't they still would have cut off most association with the non-believers.
At least that is what my parents did, we had the obligitory visits to their parents house on occasion but not much else.
I do know of one person who took up smoking then got reinstated just to prove that holy spirit had nothing to do with it.
i want to talk about my story because i need help and advice and most impirtant a lot of comfort.. one year and a half ago i met a wonderful guy.
he was really nice and supporyed me during hard moments.
i slowly fell in love with him.
1. You will eventually get over him just give it time, lots of time if you need it. It will take as long as it takes.
Think of the sadness as something temporary like a cold or a sore muscle. Yes it is uncomfortable but eventually it will go away so no need to obcess over it.
2. He used you for his own selfish needs then moved on. JWs are no different than any other people in that regard maybe even more so.
You said "I have lot of respect for his faith"
Don't, if he was really acting on that fath he would never have gotten involved with you in the first place.
He lied you on and you have the right to be mad at him for that.
not sure when i came to this conclusion but i can't imagine living forever.
after a while i think i would be completly bored with everything.. not saying i wouln't like to live for a few hundred years or maybe even a few thousand if i could travel through space and discover other universes star trek style.
but the thought of living forever sounds like it would eventually become a complete drag.. maybe i'm wrong, maybe after a thousand years or so you would foregt all the stuff that happend at the beginning and just start over in an infinite loop..

in the u.s. there are fewer venues this year, but they will be held in larger facilities.
as long as i can remember my family travelled no more than 2 hours to attend and in the last few years the dc was local (within a few minutes travel).
this year my family is driving 6 hours to a major u.s. city.
So the JWs will already know how to get to their designated meeting area after armegeddon.
They realized that controling groups of 10,000 will be much more difficult so they have to move to larger venues.
Make sure you know where it is because after armegeddon they will filter out the weak people that slipped through the cracks by saying "meet at last years convfention center". If you don't know where it is then you will be SOL when it comes to the spirtual food they will be passing out.
Or it could be money
On a side note why isn't the US listed in this site

Kind of curious if they are doing the same thing in my neck of the woods.
they just put up the march km 2014 on the private website.
most of it is same-old-same-old, with info here and there about the memorial.. somebody here might post the march km for all to see, i wont.. i just wanted to share the paragraph from page 2 q&a anticle: will you seize the opportunity?
upcoming memorial enables us to show gratitude .
Seems a bit odd, isnt the memorial the one meeting most JWs make every effort to attend? I always did.
Why use your best bait when you already have the fish on the hook?
Maybe it is a sign of dwindling interest even in the memorial? Probably not but one can dream.
hi guys & gals!.
a friend, and current witness, says the jehovah's witnesses have the truth because they're the only religion that state that satan is in control of the world and not god/jesus as some christian religions state.. how can i counter this argument?.
warm regards and love,.
If by "rules the world", they mean Satan inspired the bible and other religious texts, and now uses them to confuse people and turn them against each other. Then I agree.
our hotel did, and on the surface that's no big deal.
matter fact i think it's a good business move on the hotel's part and pretty darn good customer service.
after the song was finished and the chairman did his announcements initiating the noon break, i got to wondering if the wt had anything to do with these box lunches offered by the hotel.
I'm more interested to know why they want people to stay inside during the break especially since they don't serve lunch anymore
And why would the city put up with that. The whole point ov a convention center is to bring money to the local economy isn't it?
