what can we learn from david when he encountered saul?.
1 samuel 24:2-7 says.
and saul proceeded to take three thousand chosen men out of all israel and to go looking for david and his men upon the bare rocks of the mountain goats.
I guess we're just stupid then, so enlighten us oh master of the bible, what should we learn from David?
I was walking on top of my house yesterday, and I happened to cast my gaze upon the neighbor's wife bathing. Instead of looking away I noticed how attractive she was. Perhaps I plant some crack in her husband's car and call the cops on him to get him out of the way. Now, hmmmmm, what would David do ....
just wanted to see if this works!
gotta hide out -- right now the judicial committee is after me!
and everybody i know and love is a witness.
For once Erich has a very valid point.
You will learn what real unconditional love is, who your true friend are. Sad to say most JW will fail miserably in this, and tow the party line when/if you are DF'ed by ceasing to acknowledge you exist.
Stick around here, you will find people who have lived through some similar tough times. Many/most have come out better in the end for it.
If you carry away one thought, remember this, that there is WAY more to life than what you have been taught as a JW. Live and learn!
well, my husband found out about my affair (yes, i gave in to the temptation with the soccer player and while it was fantastic, it's over now) and it's been a devestating time, we almost got divorced, but we're working through it.
i knew telling friends and this board wasn't going to help me fight his romantic advances, but i tried.
it was a one time thing that would have continued, but i wasn't too careful about the clues (guilty conscience i think).

mumbles: Someone say something about a threesome?
<nods back off ...>
how many here were married as jw's to jw's??
if so, what was your main purpose in getting married to this person?
i ask this because, i married my dh so that i could get to know him.
Isn't that funny JBean, how it seems that that trend is universal in the JW's - once the youth marraiges start ALL the kids of eligible age get married. Seen it a bunch of times.
last night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.
many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.
now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.
Yes Erich, that's the answer, all the good hearted people who see other's pain should leave the org immediately. Oh, wait, that's already happening!
as the unfortunate school-age children of jws worldwide, or at least in christendom, face up to two of what must certainly be the most dreaded days of the school year -- today and monday, i don't think it would be remiss to do pay them tribute -- the honor of a brief recognition of some sort, say by the raising of a glass, a prayer, a couple moments' reflection, whatever.. i refer to all those of the trembling knees, quivering lips, moistened eyes and hollow feelings in the pits of their little tummies as they loyally face up to the humiliation of standing aside from the masses of christmas celebrants among their school friends.
how they must agonize over dealing with the incessant questions of their mates about ``what are you going to do this christmas," ``what did santa bring you?
'' -- not to mention listening to the spirited banter of their school friends recounting how much fun they had and what they found under tree christmas morning, etc.
Yoyo - I equated you to a donkey because donkeys like to sit around and bray a lot just to hear themselves bray. The description fits very well ...

Budda, don't forget though that even though god blessed him he had to teach him a lesson by killing an innocent baby. Bad baby, bad!

Yoyo, I have yet to call you a moron, but you're working on it. I have called you an ass however, but I mantain that I was simply pointing out your true nature ...

I now see that David is one I want to model my life after. I think that the world needs more human sacrifice, adultry, and illegal censuses. Oh and don't forget to snag a peice of holy bread on your way out!

Stop being such an ass yoyodick. Ever heard of the term compassion? Look it up because they will never teach it to you at the local JW brainwashing sessions.
Yes, she can now devote 1500-1700 hours a year to books sales. Too bad when she's 60-70 years old the WTBTS retirment plan will kick in and when she's laying in a hospital bed the elders will tell her to find gov't aid to pay the bills.
I'd bet it's the other way around, and it's Paul whose better off without her.
