There once was a Jehovah' Witness,

Who made it his business,

To tell everyone it was so late,

Armeggdon had a special date,

'75 fly by and now he is witless.

Foolproof Dating Tip for Men

by MeanMrMustard in

i am prompted to impart this piece of priceless information upon all men, due to the number of dating topics posted lately.. some women like to size you up by the animals you like.

if given the choice among animals, choose the cutest one.

it doesn't matter that you hate them.

mrsjones5-darling! I did say from my OWN trial and error, perhaps it was just me picking toads. I'd like to think that your hubby's hatred of cats, is solely because his immune system freaks out when they are around him. NOT because he secretly thinks up ways to torture the fuzzy dears.

If I had known the cat question worked so well for me, I could've spared myself a hellacious first marriage.

I did pop the cat question to hubby number 2, and he actually had his very own kitty. So I knew that he was a good guy. 20 years later, it still is really good.

Seriously however, the SPCA magazine I used to get, had an article focusing on people who abused animals, cats are a big target of abusers, and they have found that people who abuse animals move on to human targets a large portion of the time. Think Jeffery Dahmer, the cannibal serial killer, he started with animals.

Funny, yet I did that myself. I wouldn't date men who hated cats. From my own trial and error, I found that most men who hate cats have control issues. Cats don't like to be bossed and ordered around, neither do women. Men who hate cats usually love dogs. Dogs will do anything to have the 'master' or 'man' in this instance, give them attention, they will even literally eat shit.

I do have and love a dog, but this is in addition to having cats.

We NEED Positive Things and Positive Focus

by AllTimeJeff in

howdy all.

just a small commentary for those so inclined to read on what i think is a very important factor to successfully leaving jw's and moving on with your life.. it is understandable to leave at a bad/low point in your life.

jehovahs witnesses are a cult, and whether they force you out, or you choose to leave on your own, its still on their terms.

I've been reading 'Every day a Friday, How to Be Happier in Seven Days' by Joel Osteen, (I know, I know, he is a pastor and his book has a lot of references to God, which I am ignoring) and it is really, really good. He helps you start off your day in a positive way. I've been reading it aloud to my deeply ingrained JW spouse, and he finds it helpful too. I was going to return it to where got it from when I saw all the references to god, but after I started reading it, I decided to keep it. If anyone needs a boost to help them feel more positive, they might try this book.

It is funny to read someone, not a JW, (Joel Osteen in this instance) using scriptures that we are all familiar with, in a way that is upbuilding, instead of brow beating you with the bible. He quotes lots of different bibles, and many of them seem more poetic and soothing than what the NWT reads like.

ATJ-thank you for the reminder not to let ourselves get mired in misery.

Everyone have a great 2012!
